    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.

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    I was impressed with the performance of this laptop. I use it for my work. Emails, and web browsing, using business tools online. I cannot complaint. Its light weight, I have not felt that the computer heats up. The only think I dont like, but really I dont mind because I use it for work, is that the speakers sounds quality is not great. Other than that, Im super happy with this computer!

    I needed a new laptop, as the old one bit the proverbial dust. This one seems just fine so far, good display, fast, reliable performance, plenty of storage (SSD) and memory (RAM). I haven't actually tested battery performance yet, but Windows 11 settings estimates nearly 6 hours of use.

    Got a good deal on my laptop. Cheap chassis/hinges

    I was able to get this Acer laptop on-sale, so the price was good. It was my first Acer. The things I like about it: HD OLED display, generous SSD and RAM, more-than-adequate Intel processor, useful Acer apps for monitoring and support. I read complaints by others about the built-in speakers. Mine are adequate for my needs, but I'm not an audiophile who needs HD Dolby stereo to play a YouTube video. Others complained about the numeric keypad being smaller than the normal keys. It is, but I don't find this to be an issue. My main complaint about the keypad is that it doubles as navigation keys (start/end, page up/down) so I find myself pressing NumPad on and off to type and edit. A separate set of navigation keys would be nice. (My Lenovo has this.) My main complaint is that one of the laptop hinges broke within a few weeks of normal home use. No damage or abuse caused this. Poor hinges is a common complaint with Acers. So, I had my first experience with Acer customer support. The process was simple enough. But you MUST mail-in (or hand-deliver) your Acer to an authorized service center. (For me, the closest one is more than a 2.5 hour drive.) And you can expect a couple of weeks before you get it back. (My Lenovo had an at-home repair warranty which was MUCH, MUCH nicer. I would have paid extra for this service on the Acer, but it was not available.) Replacing hinges is not a job for amateurs. Removing the case for the display to free and replace a hinge can easily break the display screen because things are sealed with strong, double-sided tape. So, I didn't attempt it. Bottom line: Nice laptop with the right stuff at a good price (on-sale) but cheap chassis construction. Acer should really invest in a better chassis and hinges.

    I quite like it. Came from an Acer VivoBook with the Ryzen 5 to this and it’s much faster. I like the case, it feels sturdy. The touch screen is a little whacky sometimes and jumps around when it’s sitting on my lap.

    Purchased about a month ago. I mainly bought it to edit photos and because of the 3K OLED screen. Colors are amazing. Photos print out beautifully. The touch screen is a +. Keyboard is smooth easy touch. The keys on the number pad aren't a problem as I have small hands. I love how light weightit is and asy to take with. I'm very happy with this laptop it!

    This laptop feels really premium to use. I love the low power draw and thus less heat. The numpad is unfortunate waste of space as others have noted, but the keyboard is alright for a laptop. Trackpad is nice. The screen is amazing to look at. Really clear and awesome color. Easier to run games play just fine. Even some demanding ones can run sort of ok on lowest settings. General use of the laptop feels quite snappy. Other laptops have felt sluggish to me just launching a web browser or using the OS itself. This one somehow is quick.
