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.”

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.”

Gorgeous 4K OLED display ; Extremely light for its size ; Great port selection ; Reliable productivity performance

Speakers don’t get very loud ; Awkward typing experience ; Not quite as powerful as rivals ; Battery life is below par

The Acer Swift Edge is one of the lightest 16-inch laptops I’ve ever reviewed. Not only does it weigh just 1.17kg, but it also has a decent selection of ports and a fantastic OLED 4K display.

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

Very thin and light for its size ; Gorgeous display ; Solid productivity performance ; Very good webcam

A bit pricey ; Keyboard feels a bit cramped

Very light ; Lovely 4K display ; Lots of ports ; Fast and responsive ; Good value for the price
