It has such countless impressive highlights that it's challenging to choose where to begin. It has a perfect 16-inch OLED display, promising octa-center Ryzen processor, a lightweight magnesium-composite design and backing for the state of the art Wi-Fi 7 standard which not many different laptops can guarantee.
It's a genuine shock to see Acer fit a few large numbers of these convincing specs into one laptop. Likewise, a beginning cost has been set to simply $1299.99/£1299 making it shockingly reasonable.
Is this laptop unrealistic? I went active with the Acer Swift Edge 16 at Computex 2023 to find out. Here are my initial considerations.
Design
- Very light, weighing simply 1.23kg
- Generous choice of ports
- Highlights a 1440p webcam
The most striking thing about this 16-inch laptop is that it's unbelievably light. I'm ready to hold it one hand easily with a load of simply 1.23 kg. That is not exactly as light as last year's LG Gram 16 laptop, yet the Acer is pressing a seriously state of the art processor so it's still extremely impressive.
Acer has had the option to accomplish this lightweight structure by taking on a magnesium-combination for the undercarriage. I've seen it's not exactly as strong as aluminum, bowing inwards marginally from a firm press down, yet I'm by and by glad to make that compromise since it improves the laptop's versatility.
The Acer Swift Edge 16 is strikingly dainty as well, with a 12.95mm estimated profundity. That is altogether more slender than last year's LG Gram 16 (16.8mm) and is under 2mm thicker than the most recent 13-inch MacBook Air (11.13mm). Considering this, this is one of the most convenient 16-inch laptops I've at any point looked at.
Regardless of its thin form, Acer has crushed on endlessly bunches of ports. On the left edge you'll track down USB-A, HDMI and double USB-C, while on the right edge there's an extra USB-A, earphone jack and microSD card. It's an impressive achievement thinking about so many laptop makers demand they've needed to canister off most ports to accomplish such slim structures.
Acer has some way or another crushed in a 1440p webcam in the top bezel. I haven't had the option to test it yet, yet I envision it will bring about sharp video quality. The webcam upholds an extensive variety of computer based intelligence highlights here as well, including programmed framing, sound decrease, look remedy, and high level foundation obscure.
And keeping in mind that this laptop isn't exactly as satisfying on the eye as a Dell XPS 13 Or more or MacBook Air, I'm as yet enamored with the design. At the point when the light gets the metal body, you can see a smidgen of green - Acer calls this an olivine dark covering, and I think it looks rather beautiful. However, it's a disgrace there aren't further variety choices here.
Screen
- Sports a 16-inch OLED display
- 120Hz revive rate for smooth looking over
- Enough variety inclusion for professional makers
The Acer Swift Edge 16 games a grand 16-inch 3.2K OLED. It looked phenomenal into close, with lively tones and sharp picture quality. On the off chance that you're the sort who likes to watch Disney Furthermore, Netflix or YouTube in a hurry, this seems to be an eminent choice.
Acer has likewise guaranteed a 120Hz invigorate rate. I don't anticipate that anybody should do any serious type of gaming on this versatile, yet that higher revive rate will in any case be valuable for smoother looking over and such.
Impressively, Acer cases this laptop covers 100 percent of the DCI-P3 variety range, which would make the screen exact enough for professional substance creation. It's memorable's critical there's no discrete GPU here so it will be restricted graphically, yet having such a variety touchy screen for any semblance of Photoshop and Canva is as yet helpful.
Acer additionally guarantees a better than expected brilliance (500 nits) and 0.2 ms reaction time. We'll have to scrutinize these figures when we get a survey test, however it's still extremely impressive perusing for the Swift Edge 16.
Performance
- Controlled by AMD's most recent chip
- Support for Wi-Fi 7
- Up to 32GB of LPDDR5 memory
The Acer Swift Edge 16 is controlled by the new AMD Ryzen 7 7840U processor, which is probably (essentially as per AMD) much more remarkable than the Apple M2 and contending Intel thirteenth Gen chips. With an octa-center arrangement and lift clock speed of 5.1Ghz, it positively hopes to have potential.
Obviously, we'll have to hold on until we can bring in a survey test to benchmark this laptop, so we can't confirm any of AMD's strong cases right now.
The new Ryzen processor likewise empowers support for Wi-Fi 7, the best in class remote norm. You will require a Wi-Fi 7 upheld switch to open the quickest speeds, however it's still great to have a laptop future-proofed into the indefinite future when you in the end really do choose to redesign your home organization.
The Swift Edge 16 backings double channel LPDDR5 framework memory, up to an incredible 32GB. NVMe SSDs are in the engine, with up to a 1TB limit with respect to heaps of storage space.
There's no word on battery life presently, which makes me dread this will be the laptop's primary shortcoming. The high-goal OLED board, joined with the strong processor, has alerts ringing in my mind concerning endurance. In any case, that will be excusable assuming this laptop conveys somewhere else.
