Focusing on the ROG Strix series, both the G16 and G18 models are equipped with either the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX or the AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processors, paired with the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU featuring 8GB of GDDR7 memory.

Acer Unveils FreeSense Smart Ring with AI Health Tracking at Computex 2025

At Computex 2025 in Taipei, Acer introduced the FreeSense Ring, its first venture into the smart wearable space. This AI-powered health-tracking ring marks a significant expansion beyond Acer’s traditional computing lineup. Designed with a titanium alloy body, the FreeSense Ring is available in two finishes—matte Black and glossy Rose Gold—and comes in seven different sizes to ensure a comfortable fit for a wide range of users. The device is built for durability, boasting both IP68 dust and water resistance and a 5 ATM rating, which makes it suitable for underwater use up to 50 meters.

Although Acer has yet to announce pricing or specific launch dates, the company has confirmed that the FreeSense Ring will not require a subscription to access its full suite of health features. This could be a key differentiator in a market increasingly leaning toward paywalled wellness services. With competitors like the Oura Ring 4 and Samsung Galaxy Ring already drawing attention, Acer’s entry signals a growing interest in compact, sensor-rich health devices.

The FreeSense Ring includes a comprehensive set of biometric sensors to track key health metrics. These include heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), and sleep quality. All captured data is processed via a dedicated companion app, which uses AI to interpret the information and provide personalized health recommendations. The app also offers sleep stage tracking to help users understand their nightly rest patterns and recovery trends over time.

In terms of hardware, the ring ranges in size from 7 to 13, with weights starting at just 2 grams for smaller sizes and increasing slightly to 3 grams for larger models. It features vacuum plating and PVD coating to enhance durability without compromising on aesthetics. Acer emphasized that its AI-powered insights will be accessible without recurring fees, positioning the FreeSense Ring as a potentially attractive alternative for users seeking a powerful yet cost-effective wearable health companion.
