- Acer’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 AI workstation is aimed at creators and developers
- The Veriton RA100 specs closely match those of rival Ryzen AI Max+ systems
- Pricing 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 range, covering mini PCs, towers and all-in-one systems aimed at business users and advanced users.
The series includes the Veriton 2000 Large Tower and updated 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 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 sits in a smart, compact chassis that measures 203mm x 192mm x 70mm, keeping it firmly in the mini PC realm despite the workstation badge.
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 jack and a front card reader.
Selectable power modes allow users to adjust performance, thermals and noise for office tasks, multitasking or heavier AI workloads.
The RA100’s specification closely mirrors the growing number of Ryzen AI Max+ 395-powered mini PCs already on the market.
These systems, from brands like HP, GMKtec, Corsair, Beelink, Bosgame and Framework, all use the same processor and offer nearly identical core hardware.
Differences tend to come down to chassis design, port layouts, cooling approaches and brand positioning rather than computing capacity.
That essentially leaves pricing and system tuning as the main differences.
The Veriton RA100 looks good and will no doubt benefit from Acer’s brand recognition, but unless it’s priced sharply against those rivals, it risks blending into an already crowded field of similar mini PCs.
