    My laptop had seen its better days and I also knew it would not be long my desktop would being ending its usefulness. My salesman at Best Buy was very patient with all my questions and he recommended the Acer - Swift 16. I have this set up in my bedroom and it is perfect. The laptops these days are not as robust in their size (thinner cases) and it concerns me they may be more fragile than the older models. I will not be traveling very much with my laptop, so I felt safe with this model. The colors are vivid, keyboard responsive and I also like the option of the number pad on the right. I did purchase a mouse and I am set! This unit holds its charge for quite a while. I was on the laptop most of the day and evening and I am still well over halfway charged.

    This is a great laptop for the money! It's reasonably fast, lightweight, displays rich colors with a very bright screen. The sound could be better but it's acceptable. You couldn't ask for more at this price point.

    The specifications of this laptop exceeded my requirements for doing small business consulting work, financial spreadsheets, word processing, email, etc. Beautiful display may tempt me into light gaming. Great bargain at the Best Buy sale price before Christmas. I'm replacing a 9-year-old laptop so I'm finding this Acer Swift so much faster and better than expected.

    We tried to look at many laptops with 16 inch and OLED, Touch, and only with numeric keys: not so many! Most of them were overpriced and only 1 Gen Intel Ultra 7 CPU. So Samsung, Asus were present very poorly and Acer were the only choice. There is still doubts about sturdiness for display and surviving this thin laptop in next years. We'll see. After 1 week of usage: got some more extra discount - better value. PLUSES: OLED screen, Updated ARC external Intel video card, AI CPU, Last Intel. Speedy NVMe WD disk. Acer software is not really bad - we wish there were more OLED care settings. Who know how fast this screen burns here. Thunderbolt 4 with charging with any good GAN charger. Webcam 2k is ok. Main thing here- Windows Hello supported - so Face Unlock is great! Finger unlock is good too. Battery keeps long - 3-4 days with browsing, especially if you setup it right. Fast Intel Ultra 256V - 35W. Good stylish thin laptop body. Windows 11 is good as usual. Nobody said - here is included DTS X codec with W11. So surround sound in stereo phones is DTS -> INCLUDED! CONS: Terrible sound from speakers. But still this DTS program codec helps to make it sounds with bass etc. (on maximum) more or less. Bad Backlit in Keyboard: ohhh - so dull dim absent light on max... how come Acer? In 2024?

    This notebook has been amazing so far. It’s super fast, boots up in seconds, and handles all my tasks smoothly — from work to streaming. The design is sleek and lightweight, making it perfect for travel. Battery life is impressive, and the screen quality is crisp and vibrant. Definitely one of the best laptops I’ve owned.

    Best coolest quietest laptop I've ever owned!

    This laptop is remarkable. The new Core Ultra 7 Series 2 w/ ARC is night and day to the Series 1. This thing can run in performance mode for hours and remains cool to the touch. Also the ARC iGPU is now 150% faster! While not a hardcore gamer, this laptop is perfect for day-to-day productivity. No fan noise, no heat, fast, long battery life, what's not to love. Say so long to my cooling pad! I've heard some people complain about the speakers. They are fine and very loud. If you're an audiophile, put on the headphones but if you just want to watch a movie online, these are great. And the screen? What can I say - amoled bliss and so bright it almost hurts your eyes. All this for $849 on sale, are you kidding me? Run don't walk to buy this!

    I switched to OLED for my TV and monitor so chose a laptop with an OLED screen too. It is great. 16 inch a good screen real estate. I like Acer as its price/performance ratio is higher than other manufacturers. The device has high specs and performs very well.

    Stunning 3K OLED display with vibrant colors and sharp detail. Extremely fast performance, smooth multitasking, and tons of storage with the 1TB SSD. The touch screen and Copilot+ features add real productivity value. Premium build and a great choice for work and creativity.

    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.

    Acer Swift 16 AI - 16" 3K OLED Touch Laptop Review Model: SF16-51T-76TGSKU:6598823 Rating: ★★★★☆ Overall Satisfaction: I'm satisfied with certain aspects of the Acer Swift 16 AI laptop, but slightly annoyed by others. Performance: The laptop is quick and responsive, handling everyday tasks and multitasking with ease. It meets my needs efficiently. Display: The 16" 3K OLED touch display is bright and vivid. I don't use the touch function much, but the display quality is excellent. With 300 nits of brightness, it's more than enough for my needs, and I never have to go up that high. Build Quality: The laptop reminds me of an iPhone with its sharp edges. It feels solid and well-made, although there's some flex near the screen. It's not as sturdy as a MacBook, but still good overall. Features: The AI features are cool and fun to use. They can be quite helpful in various tasks. However, one downside is the lack of a media card reader, which can be inconvenient for those who need it. Another negative is the limitations with Copilot; you only get the chat option for a month, and it's very limited. This is disappointing because you would expect an AI computer to offer unlimited access. Keyboard: I really like the keyboard. It's comfortable to type on and adds to the overall positive experience. Value for Money: At $850 from Best Buy, I consider this a good value. However, when not on sale, I think there are better options available. Pros: Quick and responsive performance Bright and vivid 3K OLED display Solid build quality with a sleek design Helpful AI features Comfortable keyboard The copilot type chat version is unlimited and works well with Edge Cons: Some flex near the screen No media card reader Limitations with Copilot access

    Great looking screen. Now when I open my iPad Pro after using this laptop, it looks so dull and dated. This is a solid laptop for the money. It’s fast enough for non-gaming daily use. HDMI output worked very well, also. Good buy!

    Switched from a Mac never going back! This laptop has is all, the touchscreen (which TBH I did NOT want on my laptop at first) has been really useful. The side number panel, screen lays flat, its great. The battery life lasts a while, it doesn't get too hot when using, and I like how lightweight it is.

    Works amazing, the OLED makes all the difference in the world. It is fast and if you are looking for an everyday work or mild gaming this is the one. My wife has had it for about 2 months now and she loves it. Just be careful when flipping it

    I recently tried the Acer Swift 16 AI 16.3" 3K OLED Touch Laptop, and overall it delivers impressive value. The 3K OLED display is outstanding in sharpness and color, and the included protective sleeve is a welcome bonus. Despite being a 16-inch laptop, it feels reasonably light, and the build quality is solid and premium. The port selection is also generous, making it easy to connect multiple devices. Considering its features and performance, the price-to-product ratio is excellent. On the downside, the screen is quite reflective in bright environments — not enough to be a dealbreaker, but noticeable. The trackpad’s clickable “button” area feels small, which can be slightly inconvenient. And the included power cable is shorter than ideal. Overall, a strong, well-built laptop with superb visuals and great value, with only a few minor usability quirks.

    Just needed a basic laptop. I am very pleased with the picture as this also serves as my TV. It is also a lot faster than my old one. I have the Geek plan so they transferred everything over for me. Very helpful, I'm not computer fluient.
