Acer has unveiled its TravelMate X4 14 AI business laptop and two sustainable Vero laser projectors, targeting small and medium businesses (SMBs) and hybrid workforces with AI-enhanced productivity tools and eco-conscious design.
The announcements at IFA 2025 reflect growing demand for intelligent business solutions that balance performance, mobility, and environmental responsibility.
The TravelMate X4 14 AI (TMX414-51) is designed specifically for SMBs and mobile professionals requiring robust performance in a portable package.
Powered by up to Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 258V delivering 115 TOPS of overall performance, it runs Windows 11 Pro with full Copilot+ PC experiences.
AI features include Recall (preview), Click to Do, improved Windows search, Cocreator in Microsoft Paint, and Live Captions for real-time multilingual translations.
These tools aim to enhance productivity and collaboration for distributed teams.
Weighing just 1.27kg and measuring 15.9mm thin, the laptop doesn’t sacrifice durability for portability.
It meets MIL-STD 810H standards, withstanding vibrations, humidity, and extreme temperatures, essential for professionals who travel frequently.
“As AI is becoming increasingly important in modern business workflows, small and medium businesses need devices that integrate intelligent tools, robust security, and mobility,” said James Lin, General Manager, Notebooks, Acer Inc.
The 14-inch 16:10 WUXGA display provides ample screen space for productivity tasks, with an optional OLED panel offering 500 nits peak brightness and vibrant colours.
TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light certification (hardware solution) supports better eye comfort during extended use.
Acer PurifiedView 2.0 and PurifiedVoice 2.0 technology, paired with DTS:X Ultra Audio-enhanced speakers, ensure crystal-clear video calls, crucial for remote collaboration.
Security features include Acer UserSensing 2.0, which uses a proximity sensor to dim and lock the screen when users step away.
Connectivity encompasses Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for seamless streaming and lag-free video calls, plus two Thunderbolt 4 ports, USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1, and Gigabit Ethernet for versatile peripheral support.
Complementing the laptop, Acer introduced two mercury-free laser projectors designed for sustainable, long-term use.
The Vero XL2521 and Vero SL2520n offer lifespans up to 30,000 hours and consume 40% less power than traditional lamp-based models.
Both projectors deliver Full HD resolution and 4,000 ANSI lumens brightness with 93% Rec.709 colour gamut and 50,000:1 contrast ratio.
They support 360-degree projection, portrait mode, and advanced 2D and 4-corner keystone correction for flexible installation.
The SL2520n’s short-throw design produces a 100-inch image from just 1.1 metres, ideal for small meeting rooms.
Both models feature IP6X dust-proof rating and 24/7 operation capability for demanding use cases, plus 15W built-in speakers with dedicated sports modes.
Reinforcing sustainability commitments, both projectors incorporate 50% post-consumer recycled plastic in their chassis and use 100% recyclable packaging.
The TravelMate X4 14 AI will be available in Australia (timing TBA) starting at $2,499, competing with business laptops from Lenovo ThinkPad and HP EliteBook series while offering superior AI integration.
The Vero XL2521 launches in Australia and New Zealand Q4 2025 at $1,499 (NZD $1,899), while the Vero SL2520n arrives in Australia Q4 2025 at $1,999.
These prices position them competitively against business projectors from Epson and BenQ.
Microsoft’s Mark Linton, Vice President of Windows + Devices, noted: “With powerful performance, enhanced security, and unique AI experiences, it’s an ideal choice for today’s professionals looking to upgrade to a PC that prioritises portability and performance.”
The launches demonstrate Acer’s commitment to the business sector, offering AI-enhanced productivity tools and sustainable solutions that address the evolving needs of modern workplaces.
