Acer has introduced the Veriton RI110 AI Mini Workstation, a compact desktop designed for local and hybrid AI workloads that can be expanded with a desktop-class external GPU through OCuLink. The 630g system is based on Intel’s Core Ultra X7 358H platform with Arc B390 graphics, and Acer says it can handle AI models with up to 120 billion parameters.
The OCuLink connection is a notable addition for a mini PC of this size. Using a PCIe 4.0 x4 link with bandwidth of up to 64Gbps, it can connect an external graphics card or high-speed storage. Acer positions the port as a way to move beyond the limits of integrated graphics when workloads demand more compute power.
The Veriton RI110 measures 138.5 x 131.3 x 52.1mm and supports up to 96GB of dual-channel LPDDR5X memory. Storage can reach 4TB through an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 SSD, while Windows 11 Home and Windows 11 Pro configurations will be offered.
- Processor: Intel Core Ultra X7 358H
- Graphics: Intel Arc B390
- Memory: up to 96GB dual-channel LPDDR5X
- Storage: up to 4TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 SSD
- Expansion: OCuLink, up to 64Gbps
- Networking: 10GbE, 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4
- Display outputs: HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort
- Ports: two USB4 Type-C, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, three USB 2.0 Type-A and a 3.5mm audio jack
- Power: 120W external adapter
Acer also plans to support its Qubi Claw agent on the RI110. The company says the software runs in an isolated environment and can automate jobs including online research, itinerary suggestions and turning audio recordings into translated notes. Intel SuperClaw is intended to split tasks between local processing and cloud resources, keeping repetitive or sensitive work on-device while moving more demanding requests to external compute.
The RI110 joins Acer’s growing AI-focused Veriton range, alongside the Veriton RA100 with an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, up to 128GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD, and the NVIDIA GB10-based Veriton GN100. Acer’s Intel-based model differentiates itself with 10GbE networking and OCuLink expansion in a particularly small chassis.
Acer unveiled the Veriton RI110 at IFA 2026 in Berlin. The company expects availability in EMEA during the first quarter of 2027, but has not announced pricing or availability for other regions.
