Acer EP130K ePaper portable monitor at IFA 2026

Acer’s IFA 2026 announcements go well beyond laptops and gaming PCs. The company has introduced a broad collection of mobile productivity and connectivity devices, including an ePaper portable monitor, a three-screen laptop extender, a compact projector, four Android 16 tablets and two new 5G networking products.

Acer EP130K brings ePaper to a portable monitor

The Acer EP130K is a 13.3-inch ePaper monitor designed for reading, writing and long periods of focused work. It supports direct touch and stylus input, with resolution reaching 3200 x 2400 and a quoted refresh rate of up to 60Hz. Users can switch between colour and black-and-white modes depending on the content being displayed.

A single USB-C connection supplies power from the host device, while the ePaper panel’s bi-stability means the last image can remain visible even after power is disconnected.

Three extra screens from a single portable accessory

The PD163Q P3 takes a very different approach to mobile productivity. It combines three foldable 15.6-inch Full HD IPS displays into a single extender, allowing a laptop user to work across as many as four displays in total.

The panels can operate independently in extended mode or mirror content, while one USB-C cable connects the system to the host device. Acer also includes an external USB-C power delivery adapter.

C350e projector adds a detachable AI Badge

The Acer C350e is a compact Full HD LED projector rated at 350 ANSI lumens. Its unusual feature is a detachable AI Badge that can display photos and widgets, provide Google Gemini-powered interactions and function as the projector’s remote control.

The projector has a swivel stand with 360-degree rotation and 120-degree tilt, automatic focus, keystone correction, two 3W speakers and a built-in smart system for streaming apps.

Four new Iconia tablets arrive with Android 16

Acer is also refreshing its tablet lineup with the 16-inch Iconia X16, 14-inch Iconia X14, Iconia A16 and Iconia A14. All four use MediaTek Helio G80 processors, run Android 16 and include two USB-C ports, with one capable of accepting video input.

The X-series models use OLED panels and metal chassis, while the more affordable A-series models use IPS displays. Optional keyboard and stylus accessories are available for the X models.

New 5G router and dongle target mobile connectivity

The Connect X6ES is a 5G CPE router combining 5G and Wi-Fi 6E with intelligent failover between mobile and WAN connections. The smaller Connect D5P is a USB-C 5G dongle supporting eSIM, nano-SIM and vSIM, with Acer quoting download speeds up to 3.27Gbps in 5G Standalone mode.

The EP130K starts at US$749, while the PD163Q P3 starts at US$349. The C350e will start at €199 in EMEA. Most of the new devices are scheduled between Q4 2026 and Q1 2027, with Malaysian availability yet to be confirmed.
