![]() Fast: The 120Hz refresh rate is twice the typical 60Hz rate and allows for smooth movement.A 4K resolution isn't needed and would likely result in a reduced battery life. Sharp: The 3.2K resolution provides more than enough pixels for sharp text and edges of images.Again, to get a display this size in a sub-3-pound package is remarkable. Roomy: The 16-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio gives you a huge screen to juggle multiple windows or just kick back and watch a movie.Let's take those three lovely attributes in order: ![]() For a mainstream price of $1,300, it's great to get an OLED panel that is roomy, sharp and fast. The extreme portability is the headliner for the Swift Edge 16, but the display is also noteworthy. It's a 1440p webcam that produces a crisp, well-balanced image with none of the graininess that you get with an older 720p model or some 1080p cams. The webcam also lacks a physical cover that would protect your privacy when it's not in use, and there's no hotkey for an electronic shutter, either (there is a mic mute button, however). ![]() The only 16-inch laptop that comes close to the Swift Edge 16 is the LG Gram 16, which weighs 2.8 pounds. It's considerably lighter than the 4.3-pound Swift X and other 16-inch competitors, including the 4-pound Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Ultra and 4.7-pound MacBook Pro 16. That's nearly a pound lighter than the 3.6-pound Swift Go 16, which is impressively light in its own right. The all-aluminum enclosure is just half an inch thick and weighs 2.7 pounds. The conversation about the Swift Edge 16 has to start with its implausibly portable, thin-and-light chassis. And while the OLED display is wonderful to look at, it has an adverse effect on battery life compared with a traditional IPS LCD panel. That's somewhat disappointing for a system that is so portable, but average for a 16-inch laptop. It lasted only 7 hours and 14 minutes on our online streaming video battery drain test, which was a few minutes shorter than the Swift Go. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer longer battery life than the Swift Go. The Swift Edge 16 starts at £1,299 in the UK and can be found on Acer's Australian site but without pricing information. ![]() A slightly different configuration is available for $1,300 with a Ryzen 7 7735U CPU and a 4K OLED panel with a standard 60Hz refresh rate. It also features Windows 11 Home the same configuration with Windows 11 Pro costs $1,420.
