Enable HDR is not on by default
Nice laptop. Its fast and powers up instantly. PLEASE - If you buy this the screen doesn't enable the HDR quality by default and will make your screen an 8-bit 60z display unless you right click on your desktop, select display and then enable HDR. Go to advanced settings in that same menu, and make sure your refresh rate shows 120hz. Hope this helps.

Love the display quality on this multi-use laptop
I was looking for a multi-purpose laptop that could run office tools as well as 3d printer design software when I picked up the Acer Swift 16" 3K OLED. After a week of use, I find that it is a quality touchscreen laptop both in its visual appeal and multi-tasking ability, but it does come with a few quirks regarding the layout and features. In the box is the laptop, power cable, and soft case. The setup is the standard Windows workflow. As far as the build, this laptop is light at less than 4 lbs and boasts a HDMI port, 2 x USB-A 3.2 ports, 2 x USB-C 4 (Thunderbolt) ports, and a headphone jack. One of the things I love about this laptop is that it is a 16" laptop that has a nice, easy to view, bright screen at 340 nits brightness, with minimal border and vibrant colors to include true black that comes with an OLED. The screen is considered 3K resolution, which gives sharper more defined images due to having the increased pixel count. In addition to the resolution, and good news for the casual gamer, is the 0.2ms response time. On the flip side, I do wish there was a better graphics card than the Intel Arc to match the quality of this display. As for viewing, the screen is glossy, which you can view from nearly any angle, and it has about the same reflectiveness as a cell phone screen. While not significant, I did find that I had to position the screen to certain angles when working in areas with bright overhead lighting. The keyboard layout is as expected, keys respond well, and have enough travel and weight to be accurate for both typing and gaming. However one of the quirks to this layout is that Acer tried to squeeze a keypad into a space that really doesn't fit. The number keys are narrower than a full keypad, and are so compact that it's hard to use them if you're used to a full sized number pad. I'd much rather see that real estate used for better purposes such as speakers, new features, or even optimized keyboard layout. The last thing to note about the build, is that the screen will lay flat, the hinges pivot the base up and away from the desk, so it allows for some air flow, even when fully extended. I do wish the hinges were slightly beefier since the design puts some downward force on them when the screen is at a 90 degree angle. Overall the build is solid, the screen is fantastic, and keyboard design is ok. As far as features go, the front facing 1440p QHD camera is nice, it offers detailed resolution and does not wash out in well lit areas. It is one of the best quality cameras I've seen on this level of laptop build. A feature that may eventually stand out is that the Acer Swift is all about AI, both productivity tools and speed of these tools, and is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 series 2 processor. In addition to the CoPilot+ tools, Acer has loaded its AI supported PurifiedView and PurifiedVoice tools that allow lighting adjustments, blurring, and noise filtering during video conferencing. Note that many of the AI tools are expected to be released in later builds, so this is just a small glimpse into what is planned to come. The Intel NPU used to support this AI performs up to 47 TOPS (trillions of operations / second). If you're new to AI focused chips, NPUs are typically less powerful than GPUs, but they also consume much less power which means you can run in a slim laptop build without having to beef up the build or fan capacity. In addition to the processor, the laptop comes with 16 GB RAM, 1 TB storage capacity, and the somewhat lackluster Intel ARC graphics card that does support DirectX12.2 with ray tracing. A few other things to note, this laptop comes with wifi 7 to include multi-link capability. I have this laptop paired with a wifi 6 router and there is zero speed degradation. As I mentioned this isn't something I picked up for gaming, but it isn't terrible for lag or tearing, and can keep up with the majority of the games I cycled through from Steam. While not surprising, this is not a laptop you'll buy for the speaker quality. The built in speakers are flat, tinny sounding, and not positioned towards you regardless of angle. Do yourself a favor and run an external speaker or a headset for video conferencing or streaming. Lastly, the mousepad has an AI illumination that will light up when AI functions are in use. Not exactly a useful tool, but something that is different and will give you a clear indicator when AI processes are occurring and potential bandwidth implications if you're using other software. Bottom line, this build is unique, it's got some great horsepower for multi-tasking, and alludes to some neat AI features that are yet to be released. My top issues are the underwhelming graphics card, the bizarre skinny keypad, and the speakers. My top favorite features are the processor's ability to multitask, rendering speeds are quick during modeling, and I absolutely love the crisp bold images the display produces. I think this ranks as a very solid multi-purpose laptop, it can game, work, and create with ease.

Beautiful display on a premium chassis!
The laptop has an amazing screen, I'm loving the OLED 120hz touchscreen, minimal wobble on the 180degree. The software is responsive, preinstalled bloatware is minimal and battery life is great. I love the premium feel of the laptop too. There are just a few noteworthy things that missed the mark from 5 stars... - The speakers might as well not be there. 2 downward facing speakers that sound muffled and low volume. The louder you turn them up, the more muffled and distorted they sound. -They keyboard includes a numpad, which i prefer. The downside is the layout they chose. It feels like an afterthought that was crammed onto the laptop. Just small and cramped enough to not be comfortably effective, but its there so they can claim its included. -The backlit keyboard. Its included, but at this price point i expect it. There is a few different brightness levels, though the difference isnt noticeable and even at the brightest level, not very effective. -The Webcam. It's supposed to be a great 1440p webcam but i'm not impressed at all. Overall, this is a strong 4.5 stars with a few things that are holding it back. Would i buy it again? Maybe...I wouldn't pay the full $1200. Depending on current sales from Acer and the competitors I would think carefully about my choices, but if the price is right and you need a quality laptop you cant go wrong with this one.
