Acer Swift Edge 16 review: light but too breezy | Digital Trends

 

The Acer Swift Edge 16 is thin and light with a lovely OLED display. But its poor battery life and flexible lid and chassis set it back among today's best.

Thin and light chassis ; Beautiful OLED display ; Good productivity performance ; Reasonably affordable

Poor battery life ; Overly flexible chassis ; Needs a haptic touchpad

“The Acer Swift Edge 16 just doesn't last long enough on a charge.”

Acer Swift Edge 16 review: a big display without the bulk

 

The Acer Swift Edge 16 is a fast 16-inch laptop for productivity users with a beautiful OLED display. It's incredibly thin and light, and it's nicely priced.

Strong productivity performance Superior OLED display Thin and light Comfortable keyboard and touchpad Attractive price

Chassis and lid a bit flexible Poor battery life Only one configuration available

“A gorgeous 16-inch OLED display and svelte profile make the Acer Swift Edge 16 an outstanding value.”

Acer Swift Edge review: insanely thin, insanely light

 

The Acer Swift Edge SFA16-41 is a miraculously thin and light 16-inch laptop with a spectacular OLED display. But fitting everything in forces some compromises.

Uniquely thin and light Spectacular display Solid productivity performance Good battery life Moderately priced

Flexible chassis Creative performance is lacking Keyboard is too loose

“The Acer Swift Edge is a remarkably thin and light 16-inch laptop with a class-leading OLED display, but it feels a bit flimsy and creative performance is lacking.”

Review: Acer Swift Edge 16

 

This lightweight 16-inch laptop offers a nice balance between price and power.

Solid performance at this price. Excellent portability in a 16-inch chassis. Clean, efficient design.

Mushy keyboard. No touchscreen. Audio could use a boost. The glossy screen is overly reflective.

Acer Swift Edge 16 Review

 

Extremely lightweight and portable for its size ; Expansive, beautiful display ; Surprisingly long battery life

Middling performance relative to its price ; Generic keyboard, touchpad, and speakers ; Bland design

The Acer Swift Edge is the lightest, most portable 16-inch laptop, but its design and performance fall short of its impressive display.

Acer Swift Edge Review: World's Lightest 16-Inch OLED Laptop Ready for Work Wherever You Are

 

The AMD-powered Swift Edge makes it easy to work anywhere without sacrificing screen size to do it.

Less than 3 pounds ; 16-inch OLED display ; Ports, connections good for home and office

Some software bloat ; Keyboard could be better ; USB-C ports all on left side

Acer Swift Edge 16 review: A lightweight laptop with a beautiful OLED display

 

Very thin and light ; Sharp, beautiful OLED display ; Good CPU performance ; Lots of wired and wireless connectivity

It’s not much to look at ; Short battery life ; Weak speakers

Acer’s Swift Edge 16’s low weight and good performance makes it a solid travel companion, though a small battery holds it back.

Acer Swift Edge 16 (2023) review: Outperforms MacBook Air, but I expected more

 

It bests the MacBook Air in several ways, but is that enough?

Wide DCI-P3 coverage on display ; Great 1440p webcam ; Lightweight 16-inch laptop ; MacBook-beating video transcoding ; Great performance and graphics scores

Battery life should be better ; Mid keyboard and touchpad ; Quiet speakers ; Not-so-great color accuracy ; Unremarkable file-transfer rate

The Acer Swift Edge 16 has a lot of hits with its MacBook-beating performance scores, but it has a handful of misses, too.

Acer Swift Edge 16 review

 

A big shiny laptop that's light on weight and good features

Super light chassis ; Colorful 4K OLED display ; Strong performance

Shallow keyboard ; Muddy speakers ; Short battery life

The Acer Swift Edge 16 is a super light laptop with a gorgeous 4K OLED display, but it’s tough to ignore its shallow keyboard and short battery life.

Acer Swift Edge laptop review: The lightest 4K OLED laptop yet

 

Acer's Swift Edge Laptop manages to sport features that usually push laptop prices over the $2,000 mark, for around $500 less -- but not without cutting a few corners.

Gorgeous 4K display with rich colors ; Excellent port selection includes 2 full USB-A slots ; Thinner and lighter than you'd expect from the spec sheet

Can run quite hot when it's being pushed ; More flex than I'd like in some places ; Battery life is just OK

Hopefully, I've illustrated the high points and drawbacks of the Swift Edge in a way that will help you decide if its skills and deficits suit your needs. I believe the ideal owner would be someone who will fully exploit the larger, 4K display. If...
