Acer releases new 14-inch laptop in Europe with 120 Hz display and over 20 hours battery life

Almost five months have passed since Acer updated the Aspire 14 AI with new models. As we discussed at the time, the company introduced Intel Panther Lake models to replace the Lunar Lake edition we reviewed in 2025 (curr. $598 on Amazon). At the same time, Acer launched AMD-powered equivalents too.

Now, the latter are available to purchase in Europe. Specifically, Acer's new 14-inch laptop can be purchased in the Eurozone and the UK, where prices start at €1,199 and £999, respectively. At the time of writing, this entry-level edition features the Ryzen AI 5 430, a quad-core Zen 5 processor that sits at the bottom of AMD's Gorgon Point family.

Alternatively, a Ryzen AI 7 445 variant can be picked up for €1,299 and £1,099 in the same markets. According to our benchmarks, this €100 and £100 surcharge will yield around a 20% performance in CPU-heavy tasks. Both processors feature a Radeon 840M iGPU, albeit with a 3.5% clock speed uplift in the Ryzen AI 7 445's favour.

Meanwhile, both Aspire 14 AI configurations contain 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 512 GB SSD. Also, Acer claims that the included 65 Wh battery should last up to 21 hours between charges. All configurations ship with a 120 Hz and 1200p IPS display in a housing that weighs 1.27 kg and measures 312 x 226 x 16 mm. Please see Acer's website for more details.
