Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was so glad to find this powerhouse of a PC on sale for Memorial Day with a huge $600 discount from a base price around $1,500. I was originally looking at laptops with comparable specs from Lenovo and Dell which were priced significantly higher. I've previously been using an Acer Spin 3 with 15.6" touchscreen and an Intel I7 processor over the past four years which has had solid and reliable performance. However, I was unable to upgrade to the WIN 11 OS from WIN 10 due to limitations with the processor. Since I was already sold on the Acer brand from previous experience, this touchscreen Swift Go 16 AI was an easy choice - with the biggest Ryzen 10-core processor, huge 32GB RAM, and topped out with an impressive 1TB of M.2 NVMe SSD storage - the newest, fastest type of solid state drive. Plenty of various ports and other features as well. This mega machine was shipped to my home in just two days. I quickly unpacked it and was astonished with its light weight (3.53 lbs) and super slim design (0.63 in). This power-packed PC is perfectly portable and even comes with a zippered travel case - an unexpected surprise. This is everything I needed in a new laptop - and more, and for an excellent price!

This computer has been great for college, it’s very fast! It also has enough memory, and the touch screen is great. The charge lasts all day even while I’m using it. I would definitely recommend this computer to anyone in school or needing this for work! The black is so nice and sharp looking also, I really love this computer and I’m an Apple girl so I was skeptical at first but this is way better than a MacBook! It also came with a computer sleeve for protection which is so great! 10/10

The computer is fast and well designed. I wish that there was a Cntl key on the right side of the keyboard. The touch pad is real finicky. At times, it is not responsive at all and other times it is just ok. Slow and not accurate with location identification. It is Not the best touch pad that I have worked on in the past. A mouse is also required to be able to navigate the screen. I think that Acer needs to find a fix for this issue.

Nice laptop. All the features i was looking for: touch screen, 32gb memory, 1tb storage, powerful processor, gorilla glass mousepad, plenty of ports, nice picture and decent graphics.

Excellent performance it’s an excellent value. If you’re learning AutoCAD, using Microsoft Office, browsing, watching videos, and doing light creative work, this laptop should serve you very well for many years. But sometimes the touch pad not works well, so that’s sit the only problem I have.

I really like this laptop so far. The screen is big and super clear, and the design looks clean and modern. It works really well for editing photos and doing research, with no issues so far. The only downside is that it picks up fingerprints and smudges pretty easily. Overall, I’m happy with it.

I've been very happy with this laptop so far. Setup was quick and easy, and it performs well for everyday tasks like browsing, streaming, and work. The screen looks great, the keyboard is comfortable to use, and the battery life has been solid. Overall, it feels like a great value for the price and has met my expectations. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable laptop.

I have gone through over 15 different laptops to try and find one that handles not just work-related tasks but also allows me to play some games on it every now and then too. This laptop absolutely WORKS for every day heavy work loads, and still remains within temps. The airflow set up on this laptop also dissipates the hot air through the gapping located where the screen folds. A brilliant design that not only removes the hot air but keeps it away from the users' hands and keyboard as well. Plays all the 2D and not so demanding titles pretty well too! Not a laptop you're going to play heavy duty AAA games on! But definitely one you are going to enjoy if you're looking for something that will get the job done and still allow you to enjoy side scrollers and not so demanding titles without getting overly hot. Plays titles like Silent hill 2, the remake on medium settings. Replaced, Elden Ring, etc...

I purchased this laptop for my wife to replace an older desktop machine she was using. She was very happy with the size, speed, storage and portability of it and various other features right off the top - working like a tablet especially! She enjoys the ease of checking her email, managing her financial dealings, working on her pictures and a couple of computer games! However, after using it for a few times for couple of hours she attempted to turn it on and it wouldn't come on! This was a major disappointment. I have quite a bit of experience working with computers and nothing I tried would get it to start up. The plus side of this experience was that after taking it back to the store where I purchased it the service manager was able to replace it for me with the exact model! She was very nice and helpful in getting the same machine that my wife really liked! So far it is working very well and my wife is very happy with it's capabilities and ease of use! We're very thankful for the helpfulness of the service manager in helping us with what was initially a disappointing purchase!

Great computer, good sound and battery life, good for coding, work or just watching de world cup or social media videos. the Antivirus is really good and I receive a free month of game pass.

This is a very powerful productivity laptop, especially if you want 32GB RAM + Ryzen AI 9 + a large 16-inch touchscreen + relatively low weight. It's been in use for almost a month. Satisfied with the performance of the laptop. I am working on large files. Biggest strengths: The Ryzen AI 9 465 is the biggest reason to buy this laptop. It is excellent for programming, multitasking, office, and data analysis. The 32GB RAM is also a major advantage. It is excellent for heavy multitasking and future-proofing. 1TB SSD is plenty for most users. Battery life is one of the better aspects of this laptop. Display - 16" 120Hz 1920 × 1200 IPS touchscreen- a very practical configuration. Radeon 880M is good integrated graphics, but not a gaming GPU. Based on the types of work — teaching, programming, data analysis, business applications, certifications, research and heavy multitasking — I think this particular configuration is a very good fit. Weaknesses: 1. Integrated graphics only. Lacking in high-performance gaming. 2. IPS display rather than OLED

As a power user with need for high level Graphics and productivity, I am pretty satisfied 2 weeks in with the model and functionality. There are fewer ports than I usually like, but it gets me through my workflow and met my budget as well. I have not had touchscreen in while, so happy the added power in that.

Pleasantly surprised with this laptop. Nice and speedy, with the 32GB of RAM being a noticeable premium, Apps load and multi-tasking is a breeze. Also a big fan of the touchscreen, for apps where a mouse just doesn't cut it. It's great to have that option. Battery life also seems great - had a 4 hour long session with it not plugged in and still had plenty of charge leftover.

I was sceptical at first. I'm used to Samsung, Lenovo, Dell, etc. this computer is a monster. It does WAY more than what it should. It holds up at trial, instant response, it's never lagged, I seriously love it. The only complaint I have is that the mousepad is not easy to use. It isn't very responsive and tends to click things when you do not want it to. So, I just use my Logi MX4. Problem solved!! Plus, the touch screen is AMAZING!

By far the best laptop purchase ever. Setup was easier than expected. Operated all the way through Setup with the battery never showing less than Full charge

I like the battery life, I like the simplicity of the touchscreen and it does everything I needed to do traveling all over the world

The moment I got the laptop, I anticipated mousepad issues (due to reading reviews prior). Fixed this by downloading the proper mouse driver. Thus far, the Laptop has been with me for around a month, and I have been satisfied with it. I’m happy with the additional laptop case they gave.

The speed is very good for my daily usage. Battery lifespan nice more works you can do.

Verdict: The Acer Swift Go 16 AI is a great productivity laptop with strong components, excellent battery life, and mil specs for durability. It also has an awesome Gorilla Glass touchpad with custom touch buttons (LOVE that!). I have only owned one (maybe two?) Acer laptop, versus dozens from other brands now, as well as managing all the family computers and the ones in our business. My previous experience with Acer was unremarkable… But this laptop is really quite nice! Well done Acer! This laptop is for someone who needs a slightly bigger screen for a reliable, durable, and capable travel companion. It can handle some demanding games, but it’s not made for it. First impressions. I love the dark gray color and lines on the front. I immediately noticed that my oily fingerprints are already all over it, and they are quite noticeable unfortunately. The power brick is not too big, but could probably be slimmer for a portable laptop. The laptop is overall quite thin actually, and very light. The screen is very thin, and looks fragile as it opens all the way back, but… this laptop features “Military-grade durability”, so I think it will be ok. It’s also touch screen! I like the 2k WUXGA widescreen format too. Setup. This laptop is Windows-based so initial login is as expected. Initial updates took quite a long time. And upon first login, the Copilot icon was not visible… the words were there, but there was just a blank space on the taskbar. To solve this, I unpinned from the taskbar and then re-added it. Functionality. - Face recognition works well most of the time, but is not reliable in low light settings - Presence detection works well; when I approach the laptop, it wakes up and it’s ready to scan my face - There is a Copilot button (love it!). While I subscribe to a different AI service, I am using copilot more and more for quick searches because the button is there, and because it loads and executes very fast (perhaps from the Ryzen AI 9 chip?) - There is an Acer button, which provides access to settings (pretty good). However, the settings window loads slower than I expected - There is a customizable button for one touch launching of apps or setting, it’s a nice touch! I use it to launch a new Chrome window (you just have to map it to the .exe file) - Speakers are louder than I expected. Sound quality is fine… about as expected for a thin laptop - I am satisfied with the number of ports: 2x USB-A, 2x USB-C, Micro SD card reader (seems outdated, but I actually still need it to transfer drone footage faster), HDMI, and 35mm Performance. The Acer Swift Go AI comes with great specs: AMD Ryzen AI 9, 32GB of RAM, a decent integrated card, an awesome touchpad, 1TB SSD, WiFi 7, and a 5MP camera. It comes together quite well and has performed flawlessly for me so far - The integrated graphics card has performed well in stress tests. For testing, I played a short Counter-Strike 2 session on high settings fairly smoothly (~50-60 FPS), and better than I expected without an independent graphics card - While the laptop is thin, I have not had issues with heat yet, despite running several programs and 30 plus tabs at the same time - The laptops is remarkably quiet, even on performance mode when the laptop is not working hard. You will hear fan noise when it starts working hard, but it’s not loud by any means Things I love. - The specs are strong: AMD Ryzen AI 9, 32GB of RAM, wifi 7, and a 5MP camera - The WUXGA screen with 2k resolution and vibrant colors - The touchpad is awesome!! I have not loved a novelty so much in years as the custom buttons that appear based on the application (media or video chat) - It has a physical webcam cover to ensure privacy (thank you!) - It’s thin enough (but not too thin) - Very efficient, leading to great battery life - Quiet keyboard - Presence sensor so the computer wakes up when you are near - AI Capabilities that work very smoothly - Military-grade durability! - It comes with a nice computer bag… perfect! Thank you Acer!! Things I don’t love. - My fingerprints are already all over the computer. Not sure if there is a coating for easier cleaning. Warm breath and a cleaning cloth works ok for quick cleaning. Overall, the Acer Swift Go 16 AI is a great package for a professional on the road, including strong components, innovations like the touchpad, and good overall value. I am very impressed with this Acer laptop and I highly recommend it!

overall the laptop is good but had issues with touchpad as it is interfering typing and creates typos , had a tough time while I used that for interview and got typos whole I was writing psuedocode, the keyboard area is fragile goes in whe you little hard press, the screen is mediocre may not be the best ips lcd in market , sound is not that great even with dtsx.If you are using dock or external keyboard u can get away from first two issues , I plan to use dock , overall a laptop with compromises for price as I bought for 899$ , may not be great if you pay full price
