Acer’s unbelievable 16-inch OLED laptop computer will get a large $450 low cost

Acer’s Swift 16 AI laptop computer options each a strong, battery-sipping Intel Core Extremely Collection 2 (Lunar Lake) chip and a beautiful, giant, high-resolution OLED show. Usually you’d pay nicely over $1,000 for it — however a 36 p.c Prime Day low cost has dropped the worth beneath $800.

Acer’s Swift 16 AI, priced at $799.99 at Greatest Purchase, is mainly a kind of laptops that provides a mixture of fascinating options for an inexpensive value.

Acer’s Swift 16 AI received 4 out of 5 stars in PCWorld’s evaluation of the laptop computer, which actually solely criticized it for its lack of true AI options and a few bloatware. The Acer Swift 16 AI is a Copilot+ PC, which signifies that the Lunar Lake chip consists of the NPU that provides the laptop computer its AI energy.

Sadly, Microsoft has prioritized help for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite platform as an alternative when it comes to new AI options. That’s nice. Gross sales numbers present that consumers aren’t particularly looking for out Copilot+ options — in any respect, actually.

As a substitute, my very own assessments of Intel’s Core Extremely Collection 2 (Lunar Lake) present that it’s the nice all-around chip you’re in all probability in search of — unimaginable battery life, nice efficiency (together with graphics, permitting it to play some video games) plus the AI capabilities. Acer’s Swift 16 AI is only a very succesful laptop computer, interval.

I’m fairly impressed that that is the 16-inch mannequin, too. By now, you’re in all probability conscious that OLED shows provide these inky blacks that actually improve the visible expertise. However this can be a 16-inch display with an upgraded 2880 x 1800 decision, too. Acer calls this a “3K” display, which is fairly correct — not fairly the decision of a 4K show, however with some extra element that’s actually wanted on a bigger display. (Our evaluation mannequin included a 120Hz display, although it’s not clear if Greatest Purchase’s mannequin does. Customers commenting on the web page suggest that it does.)

The remainder of the specs don’t lag, both. The Swift 16 AI consists of 16GB of RAM and a full terabyte of storage, actually as a lot or extra as you’ll in all probability want. You’ll additionally discover two Thunderbolt (USB-C) ports, in addition to a pair of USB-A ports for plugging in a keyboard or mouse.

Bear in mind, try our evaluation in case you have any considerations. However with efficiency on the prime of our charts and with real-world battery life at about 17 hours, this laptop computer ought to have all the things you want — and it’s now on the proper value.
