- 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
- Price will likely determine the success of the Acer RA100 in an increasingly crowded market
At CES 2026, Acer introduced several new models in its Veriton desktop range, spanning mini PCs, towers and all-in-one systems aimed at business and power users.
The line includes the Veriton 2000 Large Tower and the renewed Veriton All In One desktop series, both with 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 with 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.
That combination targets workloads like 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, keeping it firmly in mini PC territory despite the workstation label.
Connectivity includes Wi Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and 2.5G Ethernet, along with 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 adjust performance, temperature, and noise for office tasks, multitasking, or heavier AI workloads.
The RA100 specification closely reflects 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, use the same processor and offer almost identical core hardware.
The differences tend to come down to chassis design, port layouts, cooling approaches, and brand positioning, rather than computing power.
Basically, that leaves pricing and system tuning as the main points of difference.
The Veriton RA100 looks great and will no doubt benefit from Acer's brand recognition, but unless it's priced very high against these rivals, it risks blending into an already crowded field of similar mini PCs.
