At this point you’re either sick of or are just used to all the mentions of AI in literally everything tech. Safe to say it’s here to stay. And Acer’s approach at Computex 2025 is to break its barriers.
The company launched a slew of products with an “AI’ tag. That’s true from their signature Aspire and Swift series laptops, Predator Gaming devices, and other accessories and peripherals.
From everything they showed, here’s a quick list of our favorites.
Predator Triton 14 AI
I can still clearly remember the very first edition of the Predator Triton. It was a new category that promised a thin frame – something unheard of for gaming rigs at the time.
While the original Triton was indeed thin for its time, I feel like it is the Predator Triton 14 AI that has finally, truly, fulfilled the promise of a gaming laptop in a slim profile.
The specs are top of the line. Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 288V, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, up to 32GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage, and many more.
It also boasts of other features like AI Vision Sensor on the laptop’s webcam, Copilot+ for exclusive experiences like Live Captions, Image Creator.
The Predator Triton 14 AI is a sexy beast and I’m dying to get my hands on it for an extended period.
FreeSense Ring
Acer producing a health monitoring smart ring wasn’t on my bingo card but here we are. The FreeSense ring isn’t reinventing anything. It’s a steadfast biometric sensing ring meant to help you monitor your general health.
It can track vital metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen levels, heart rate variability, and sleep quality.
The data can be analyzed through a companion mobile app that generates insights and provides suggestions.
Nitro Google TV monitors
Is this becoming a trend? Display makers Samsung and LG have already started adding some form of TV OS on some of their monitors. Now, it’s Acer’s turn putting Google TV on a couple of their monitors. One’s standard, the other ultrawide.
It’s a nice touch and adds more welcome functionality on what otherwise would have been a dead device without the aid of a laptop or computer.
Acer SpatialLabs View Pro 27 3D
This was a quirky and a little bit dizzying experience… but still fun all things considered. The tech was first showcased in 2023 and now it’s been mixed with AI.
The many images and videos we were shown taking advantage of the 3D visuals were AI-generated. Some were a little unsettling, sure, but focusing on how far the tech has come, it’s pretty impressive.
I can’t imagine a big number of people having some use for this. But if you can dream it, you should try to make it, and Acer did. It’s cool and we’re excited to see where the tech goes.
Acer AI Translate Buds
Here’s another device that I didn’t exactly expect from Acer. And another one that’s promising but definitely needs a little more time in the oven. The premise is cool, and the demo was nice, but the translation needs work.
Translation is a tricky thing. It’s not always straightforward and some cultural context might get lost in, well, translation. But I’m hopeful, with the aid of AI, that this is one use-case that will soon reach a satisfactory level of useability.
Honorable mentions
There were plenty more on display at the Acer Booth in Computex 2025 and here’s a quick fire round of the things that caught our eye.

Razer sharpens its competitive edge with Viper V4 Pro and Gigantus V2 Pro
Ultra-light. Ultra-tuned.
Razer expands its pro-grade lineup with a lightweight mouse and a highly customizable mouse mat built for different playstyles. The Razer Viper V4 Pro focuses on speed, precision, and responsiveness, while the Razer Gigantus V2 Pro brings tailored surface options that adapt to how players move.
Lighter, faster, and built for control
The Viper V4 Pro weighs approximately 49g in Black and 50g in White, making it around nine percent lighter than its predecessor. Razer achieves this through mechanical refinements like a thinner shell and a more compact PCB, without compromising durability. The structure still feels solid in hand, even with the aggressive weight reduction.
This balance matters in competitive play. A lighter mouse reduces fatigue and allows quicker adjustments, but stability keeps movements consistent. The Viper V4 Pro aims to deliver both.
Plug in, tweak, and play instantly
Razer also streamlines setup and tuning. The optimized hemispherical dongle maintains stable connectivity while providing quick status updates through LED indicators.
Players can adjust settings without installing software using Razer Synapse Web, enabling browser-based customization. Onboard controls allow quick DPI and polling rate changes mid-match, so adjustments happen without breaking focus.
A mouse mat that adapts to your play style
The Gigantus V2 Pro evolves Razer’s mouse mat lineup by introducing five distinct speed ratings paired with corresponding foam firmness. Instead of a one-size-fits-all surface, players can now choose based on how they aim and move.
Developed with esports pros like Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, Faker, and Zellsis, each variant reflects real competitive needs across different roles and playstyles.
The five surface options include:
- Max Control for ultra-high friction and precise flicks
- Control for consistent micro-adjustments
- Balance for a mix of speed and stopping power
- Speed for quicker swipes
- Max Speed for the fastest possible movements
Each surface is paired with Razer’s GlideCore foam, tuned to match the friction profile. Softer variants provide more stopping power, while firmer ones prioritize speed and responsiveness.
Built for consistency across every match
Razer ensures the Gigantus V2 Pro works seamlessly with modern optical sensors. Lab testing guarantees consistent tracking, whether for fine adjustments or wide flicks.
The mat is also designed for competitive environments. It features stitched edges to prevent fraying, an anti-slip base for stability, and a rollable build that makes it easy to bring to tournaments.
A complete competitive setup
Together, the Viper V4 Pro and Gigantus V2 Pro form a cohesive setup that covers both input and surface. The mouse emphasizes low latency, precision tracking, and a shape validated by pros. The mouse mat complements it with clear, playstyle-based options.
Rather than focusing on a single standout feature, Razer builds a system. One that supports consistent performance, adapts to player preference, and helps turn practice into results when it matters most.

Logitech G debuts PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE with faster click tech
Faster clicks, deeper control
Logitech G is pushing competitive gaming performance further with the launch of the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE. It’s a next-generation wireless mouse built around a new click system designed for speed and control.
At the center of the PRO X2 is its patent-pending SUPERSTRIKE technology. It reduces the travel distance needed to register a click, cutting latency by up to 30 milliseconds based on internal testing. The result is faster inputs that can make a difference in high-stakes, split-second moments.
The mouse also introduces the Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS), replacing traditional mechanical microswitches. Instead of relying on physical contact, it delivers tactile feedback the moment a click signal is sent, helping players feel each input in real time.
Customizable clicks for competitive play
Developed with esports teams like G2 Esports, NAVI, and BLG, the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE focuses on precision and consistency. It supports 10 selectable actuation levels, allowing users to fine-tune how deep a click needs to be before it registers.
These adjustments can be made through Logitech G HUB, giving players the flexibility to match their setup to different games, roles, or playstyles without interrupting gameplay.
The mouse also uses Logitech’s LIGHTSPEED wireless technology with up to an 8kHz polling rate. This ensures fast and stable performance without the limitations of a wired connection.
Precision tracking and lightweight build
Powering the PRO X2 is Logitech’s HERO 2 sensor. It supports up to 44,000 DPI, 888 IPS tracking speed, and over 88G acceleration. Logitech says tracking remains free of smoothing, acceleration, or filtering, allowing for more consistent and direct input.
Despite its performance-focused internals, the mouse keeps a lightweight build at 61 grams. Logitech says this supports faster movements and reduces fatigue during long sessions.
Battery life is rated at up to 90 hours on a single charge, letting players stay in the game longer without interruptions.
Price and availability
The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE is priced at PhP 11,945. It is available in the Philippines via Shopee and authorized Logitech retailers.
