Acer unveiled the Acer SFF RTX Spark, a compact desktop design powered by the NVIDIA RTX Spark superchip, at its global press conference on September 2 during IFA 2026 in Berlin. The launch targets the emerging market for personal AI agents.

The device is engineered to deliver high-performance computing in a space-saving footprint. It features up to a 6,144-core Blackwell RTX GPU and up to a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU. This configuration provides up to 1 petaflop of AI compute performance alongside up to 128 GB of unified memory.

Technical Specifications

The Acer SFF RTX Spark integrates NVIDIA’s full-stack AI platform and suite of RTX technologies. The hardware specifications are designed to support local execution of agentic AI, advanced content creation, and high-performance gaming.

Market Positioning

NVIDIA RTX Spark is positioned to redefine personal computing by combining personal agents with professional workloads. The platform aims to accelerate AI innovation at the edge while maintaining data privacy through local processing. Acer stated that availability of RTX Spark devices will be announced at a future date.

What the Numbers Show

The specification of up to 128 GB of unified memory paired with 1 petaflop of compute indicates a focus on large-language model inference rather than just traditional graphics rendering. This memory-to-compute ratio supports running complex agentic AI workflows locally without reliance on cloud infrastructure.

Acer Inc. unveiled the Predator ES Thunder Pro e-scooter in Berlin on Sept. 2, 2026, targeting high-frequency urban mobility with advanced powertrain and smart connectivity features. The launch marks an expansion of the company's smart mobility portfolio beyond its core computer and display businesses.

Powertrain and Performance

The Predator ES Thunder Pro serves as the most powerful model in Acer's current e-scooter lineup. It is equipped with a 500 W rated rear-wheel-drive DC motor that delivers a peak output of 1,600 W. The system generates 32 Nm of torque, enabling gradeability of up to 28%. These specifications are designed to support acceleration and hill climbing across varied terrains.

The scooter offers a maximum range of 70 km on a single charge, powered by a 624 Wh battery. This capacity aims to reduce charging frequency for long-distance commuting. The vehicle supports multiple drive modes, including Pedestrian, ECO, D, S, and Cruise Control, subject to local regulations.

Safety and Durability Features

Safety mechanisms include a Traction Control System (TCS) that adjusts power output based on road conditions to improve stability on wet or low-grip surfaces. The unit features 10-inch tubeless pneumatic off-road tires and holds an IPX6 water-resistance rating. Lighting includes front daytime running lights and side RGB ambient lighting to enhance visibility.

Braking is handled by a front disc brake and a rear disc brake combined with electronic Anti-lock Braking System (eABS). The suspension system comprises rocker suspension and spring shocks at both the front and rear. The maximum payload capacity is 120 kg.

Smart Connectivity

The Predator ES Thunder Pro integrates dual-platform location tracking via Find My and Find Hub. Users can monitor vehicle status, battery levels, and riding data through the Acer eMobility app. The app also supports AI voice control for functions such as electronic locking, lighting control, and battery checks via smartphone or smartwatch.

Pricing and Availability

The Predator ES Thunder Pro will be available in Europe starting in Q1'2027. The starting price is set at EUR 799. Exact specifications, prices, and availability may vary by region.
