Acer has expanded its thin-and-light portfolio with the launch of the Acer Swift Blade 14 laptop.

At just 799 grams, the portable laptop is built for mobile productivity. It is powered by up to an Intel Core 7 processor 350.

This capable processor is paired with 12GB of DDR5 memory and up to 1TB of storage for portable performance for work, play, and creativity.

In front is up to a 3K OLED display with up to 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. The display has a 90% screen-to-body ratio, 4.3mm slim bezels, and a 16:10 aspect ratio.

For connectivity, the Acer Swift Blade 14 has three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports. It is also equipped with a 50 Wh battery and an FHD user-facing camera.

In addition, the sleek 16-inch Acer Swift Air 16 laptop has also been announced. Built for work and play, this notebook is powered by up to an Intel Core 7 processor 350 with up to 40 TOPS.

It also has a dedicated NPU, up to 16GB of DDR5 memory and up to 512GB of upgradeable storage.

This variant has an all-aluminum chassis, up to a 3K OLED display, an IPS touchscreen option, and quad-speaker audio. It also comes with a backlit keyboard, and a larger 70Wh battery capable of fast-charging.

General availability

Both the Swift Blade 14 and Swift Air 16 will be available in EMEA in December 2026. The latter will also be available in North America in Q1 2027.

Phones flip and fold. Now webcams do too.

Foldable screens have found their way into phones, tablets, and laptops in recent years. Now, OBSBOT is taking that idea in a considerably smaller direction: the webcam.

The OBSBOT Meet Flip is the company’s first foldable 4K webcam packing:

• 1/2-inch stacked CMOS sensor
• intelligent audio
• a collection of AI-powered meeting tools

All of these inside a body weighing just 37.7 grams.

A fold that does something, not just a gimmick

The OBSBOT Meet Flip isn’t foldable just to make it easier to throw into a bag.

Closing the webcam physically blocks the lens and puts the device into sleep mode. Open it when you want to be seen, flip it shut when you don’t.

A physical privacy cover isn’t novel in itself. What’s clever here is how it’s part of the folding design.

As someone with a love-hate relationship with data privacy, I almost always keep some physical barrier over my laptop webcam. And if I can avoid having a webcam there entirely, even better.

Serious camera hardware in a pocket-sized webcam

Despite its size, OBSBOT hasn’t treated the Meet Flip like a basic laptop-camera replacement.

Inside is a 1/2-inch Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor with Quad Bayer technology, capable of recording 4K UHD at 30 fps or 1080p at 60 fps. It also packs an f/1.8 aperture, HDR, PDAF autofocus, ISO 100–6400, and up to 4x digital zoom.

At its core is a 1/2-inch Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor with Quad Bayer technology.

It can record:

• 4K UHD at 30fps
• 1080p at 60fps

You also get:

• f/1.8 aperture
• HDR
• PDAF autofocus
• ISO 100–6400
• up to 4x digital zoom

On paper, that gives the Meet Flip a better shot at handling the situations built-in laptop webcams often struggle with: dim rooms, harsh backlighting, changing lighting conditions, or simply moving around in front of the camera.

HDR helps keep faces visible against bright backgrounds, while PDAF autofocus continuously adjusts focus as you move closer to or farther from the lens.

The wider f/1.8 aperture should also help in less-than-ideal lighting.

The point is that once the Meet Flip is set up, you shouldn’t have to spend much time thinking about the camera itself.

It listens differently depending on the room setup

The Meet Flip also uses an intelligent dual-microphone system combining omnidirectional and directional microphones.

Instead of relying on one pickup pattern for every situation, it offers four audio modes for different setups:

Directional Mode focuses on sound coming from the front, making it the obvious choice for solo calls.

Dual-Directional Mode listens to both the front and rear of the webcam, which could be useful for interviews or conversations between two people sitting across from each other.

Smart Omni Mode is designed for group meetings, picking up voices from around the room.

And Pure Audio Mode provides unprocessed left and right stereo channels for users who would rather handle the audio themselves in post-production.

Auto Gain and AI Noise Reduction also work across the first three modes, helping clean up audio without requiring much manual adjustment.

It gives the Meet Flip more flexibility than a typical webcam microphone, especially if you regularly switch between solo calls, interviews, and group meetings.

AI that doesn’t intrude

AI has become an almost obligatory addition to new hardware in 2026, but several of the Meet Flip’s features put it to work on real-world meeting annoyances.

AI Auto Framing keeps you in frame, with options for:

• Group
• Single Close-up
• Upper Body
• Full Body

Gesture controls can also toggle Auto Framing or adjust the zoom without reaching for a keyboard or mouse.

More interesting is AI Magic Notes.

Through OBSBOT Center, it provides real-time transcription and can automatically generate meeting summaries with key points, decisions, and action items. It works across Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams.

Although AI Magic Notes is offered as a subscription service, every Meet Flip includes 120 complimentary minutes to get started.

MORE with OBSBOT Center & OBSBOT Live

There are plenty of other software features as well. OBSBOT Center includes:

• Background Blur and Background Replacement
• Real-Time Beauty Mode
• Picture-in-Picture overlays
• Smart Eye Tracking
• Teleprompter support
• Detailed image adjustments

The Meet Flip isn’t limited to laptops or desktops either. Through OBSBOT Live, it can connect directly to smartphones and tablets over USB-C for mobile streaming and content creation.

Flip it open. Fold it away.

None of those features reinvent the webcam on their own.

Taken together, though, they make the Meet Flip a more thoughtful take on a piece of hardware whose basic design and features have barely changed.

The flip may grab your attention first, but it’s how OBSBOT uses that design alongside its camera, audio, and software features that makes the Meet Flip interesting.

The OBSBOT Meet Flip is now available at US$ 119 and is currently available through OBSBOT’s official store, Amazon US, and select retailers.

If you buy one, here’s what you’ll get out of the box!

The MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+ Vincent van Gogh Edition is now available. It is the latest addition to MSI’s artisan collection. It combines a design inspired by one of the most influential painters in the world, AI-ready performance, portability, and an exclusive accessory bundle.

This limited-edition laptop celebrates artistic craftsmanship. Its design captures the emotion, movement, and creative spirit of two of the artist’s most iconic masterpieces.

Beyond the aesthetic, the special 2-in-1 laptop delivers versatility and AI-ready performance. It’s chiefly meant for creators and professionals and their modern-day workflow.

The package is completed by an exclusive bundle pack with a wireless mouse, Van Gogh-inspired mousepads, and ID badge, sleeve bag, keyboard cover, and specially designed packaging.

The MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+ Vincent van Gogh Edition draws inspiration from the “Starry Night Over the Rhône” and “The Starry Night.”

Such contrasting moods on each painting influenced the product’s design language. Chassis textures, color details, and UI themes of MSI Center M reflect the flowing movement and layered emotions found on the two paintings.

Different blue tones, textures, and finishes also capture the range of moods — from peaceful and quiet to bold and expressive.

Built for modern creative workflows

Beyond its artistic identity, the 2-in-1 laptop is built for creators who move between work, inspiration, and everyday life.

The laptop is powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, weighs 1.37 kilograms, and measures 11.9mm thin.

It supports a range of AI-enhanced experiences for both creativity and productivity. This includes A-assisted photo editing, image generation, video editing, background noise reduction, live captions, and other intelligent tools.

In front is a 14-inch OLED display with 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, delivering rich contrast and accurate color reproduction.

Inside is an 81Whr battery supporting up to 30 hours of 1080p video playback under specific test conditions.
