The Acer Swift Edge SFA16-41 is a miraculously thin and light 16-inch laptop, but there are some compromises.
Acer Swift Edge MSRP $1,500.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The Acer Swift Edge is a remarkably thin and light 16-inch laptop with a class-leading OLED display, but it feels a bit flimsy and its battery life could be longer.” Pros Cons If you’re looking for a large-screen laptop with the power to run the most demanding creative apps, then machines like the Apple MacBook Pro 16 and HP Envy 16 have you covered.
Thin and light, but at what cost? As mentioned above, the Swift Edge is ludicrously thin at 0.51 inches and light at 2.58 pounds. That’s less than most 14-inch laptops — and quite a few 13-inch machines — and it’s much thinner than the 0.58-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 that’s on our list of thinnest laptops . It’s also considerably lighter than the 4.71-pound Dell XPS 15. It’s hard to express how insubstantial the Swift Edge feels in hand compared to most other large-screen laptops.
Some ultrathin laptops suffer from extremely shallow keyboards, but the Swift Edge doesn’t fall into that trap. Its keyboard switches have plenty of depth and a distinct click when engaged. I’d talk more about the laptop’s aesthetic, but there’s not much to say. The chassis is “Olivine Black,” and there’s zero bling. It’s a minimalist design like so many laptops today, with nothing but its extreme thinness to make it stand out. If you want a laptop that attracts attention, then the Swift Edge isn’t it. The bezels are very thin, but they’re also plastic, which detracts from what would otherwise be a modern look.
Whether you’re using the laptop for productivity work where you demand sharp, black text or consuming media, you’ll love this display. The Swift Edge isn’t fast enough, as we’ll see, for demanding creators, but if you need to edit a photo in a pinch, then the display will accommodate you. Ultimately, you can expect solid productivity performance in CPU-intensive tasks, but you’ll be limited in creative work due to the slower integrated AMD Radeon Graphics. And I saw that productivity performance in our suite of benchmarks. In the table below, which lists results in both balanced and performance modes, I compare the Swift Edge to other large machines without discrete GPUs.
