- Acer’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 AI workstation is aimed at creators and developers
- Veriton RA100 specs closely match those of rival Ryzen AI Max+ systems
- Pricing will likely determine Acer RA100 success in an increasingly crowded market
At CES 2026, Acer introduced several new models to its Veriton desktop range, covering mini PCs, towers, and all-in-one systems aimed at business and advanced users.
The lineup includes the Veriton 2000 Large Tower and refreshed Veriton All In One desktop series, both powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and designed for office environments and SMBs.
Acer also announced the Veriton RA100, a compact Windows 11 Copilot+ PC for AI workloads, built on the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with Radeon 8060S graphics, a 50 TOPS NPU, and up to 60 TFLOPS of GPU compute.
Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Power
Memory support reaches up to 128GB of four-channel LPDDR5X, with storage configurations going up to 4TB via an M.2 2280 SSD.
This combination targets workloads such as local AI models, generative applications, 3D design, and content creation without relying on cloud services.
The system is housed in a smart, compact chassis measuring 203mm x 192mm x 70mm, firmly placing it in the mini PC category despite its workstation label.
Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and 2.5G Ethernet, alongside USB 4 Gen3 Type C ports, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type A, USB 2.0, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort, audio jacks, and a front card reader.
Selectable power modes allow users to optimize performance, thermals, and noise for office tasks, multitasking, or heavier AI workloads.
The RA100’s specifications closely mirror those of other Ryzen AI Max+ 395 powered mini PCs already available on the market.
These systems, from brands such as HP, GMKtec, Corsair, Beelink, Bosgame, and Framework, utilize the same processor, offering nearly identical core hardware.
Differences primarily arise from chassis design, port layouts, cooling methods, and brand positioning, rather than compute capability.
This essentially leaves pricing and system tuning as the main differentiators.
The Veriton RA100 appears promising and will likely benefit from Acer's brand recognition; however, unless it is competitively priced against its rivals, it risks blending into an already crowded field of similar mini PCs.
