    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

    i purchased this to replace a MacBook being used as a daily driver for educational purposes, as well as multiple tasks i typically get involved in. i could not be happier with all of the pros that come along with this pc, and the cons that are minimal. biggest con being the external speakers, they are low quality and are really only just acceptable for low noise environments. however, i typically use Galaxy Buds with this device so i hardly see it a con. check out all the various deep dives and reviews for full reports and make sure your decision is educated when purchasing. you'll likely be pleased either wsy with this one. final thought, the screen is FANTASTIC!

    The Acer Swift 16 AI is an impressive laptop on paper, and after using it, I can say it mostly delivers. The 16-inch 3K OLED touchscreen is absolutely gorgeous—colors are vivid, blacks are deep, and everything just looks sharp. It’s also lightweight for its size, making it easy to carry around.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
