- Acer’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 AI workstation is aimed at creators and developers
- Veriton RA100 specifications closely match those of rival Ryzen AI Max+ systems
- Price will likely determine the Acer RA100’s success in an increasingly crowded market
At CES 2026, Acer introduced several new models to its Veriton desktop lineup, spanning mini PCs, towers, and all-in-one systems aimed at business and advanced users.
The range includes the Veriton 2000 tall tower and the refreshed Veriton All In One desktop series, both powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and designed for office and SMB environments.
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 quad-channel LPDDR5X, with storage configurations 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 sits in a smart, compact chassis measuring 203mm x 192mm x 70mm, keeping it firmly in mini PC territory despite the workstation label.
Connectivity includes Wi Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and 2.5G Ethernet, as well as USB 4 Gen3 Type C, 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 adjust performance, temperatures, and noise for office tasks, multitasking, or heavier AI workloads.
The RA100’s specifications accurately reflect the growing number of Ryzen AI Max+ 395-powered mini PCs already on the market.
These systems, from brands such as HP, GMKtec, Corsair, Beelink, Bosgame and Framework, all use the same processor, offering almost identical core hardware.
The differences tend to come down to chassis design, port layout, cooling approaches, and brand positioning, rather than compute capacity.
This essentially leaves pricing and system tuning as the main points of difference.
The Veriton RA100 looks great and will undoubtedly benefit from Acer’s brand recognition, but unless it’s priced competitively with those rivals, it risks blending into an already crowded field of similar mini PCs.
