The Acer Swift 16 AI aims to provide a welcome competitor to the burgeoning sector of well-meaning, large-screen ultrabooks.
Fantastic OLED screen ; Solid battery life ; Excellent port selection
Modest performance for the price ; Thinner speakers
Acer's Swift 16 AI impresses with its solid power for the reasonable asking price, as well as its great battery life, sublime display and solid port selection. It's only little things that let it down, such as thin speakers and a slightly cramped...

The Acer Swift AI 16 is just okay in a few important categories, including performance, battery life, and price. But a 16-inch OLED display makes a difference.
Excellent OLED display ; Solid productivity performance ; Good, if slightly cramped, keyboard ; Quality build ; Attractive price
Mediocre battery life ; Touchpad is too small ; Slightly aesthetic
“The Acer Swift AI 16 has a beautiful OLED display, and that scores some serious points.”

This 16-inch Windows laptop runs quietly, has an excellent touchscreen, and delivers surprisingly decent performance.
Runs dead silent. Outstanding screen. Great overall portability and usability. Love the lighting effects. Solid value.
Trouble with third-party charger. A bit underpowered, both in speed and battery life. Numeric keypad is tight for sustained use.

Acer's Swift 16 AI laptop delivers a metal design, a handsome OLED screen, and long battery life. It's a solid pick for seekers of a mainstream big-screen laptop.

The Acer Swift 16 AI is a capable machine with a big, beautiful screen, but its AI chops are still unproven.
Expert review by : Joanna Nelius (laptopmag.com)
I can’t remember the last time I felt this torn about a laptop
Vivid, high-resolution OLED display, Pleasantly clacky keys, Better than expected speakers, Solid battery life
Display could be brighter, Not great for heavy multitasking, Keyboard is too large for small hands, Subpar webcam
The Swift 16 AI’s greatest strengths lie in its display and speakers — but they aren’t strong enough to make up for this laptop’s biggest weakness: heavy multitasking performance.

The Acer Swift 16 AI with Core Ultra 9 stands out due to its vibrant OLED colors and strong overall performance, suitable for AI tasks, everyday use, and light gaming. Despite the mediocre speakers, it represents an excellent option for demanding users...
high-resolution OLED display with great colors;high-quality aluminum case;strong all-round and AI performance;good battery life (approx. 13 hours of web surfing);USB 4.0/Thunderbolt, Wi-Fi 7
only average speakers with little bass;rather poor CPU multi-core raw performance ;connections are primarily on the left side
The Acer Swift 16 AI (SF16-51T-932H) is a stylish and powerful laptop that scores particularly well with its brilliant OLED display and the fast performance of the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V processor. It is ideally equipped for everyday tasks, creative...

It's thin. It's light. It's long-running. And it boasts a big, bright 16-inch OLED display. So, what's holding this Copilot Plus PC back from being more than just a big-screen productivity machine?
OLED display is big, bright, vivid and crisp ; Thin and light for its size ; Good balance of performance and battery life
Terrible audio output ; Narrow number pad probably not all that useful ; AI logo on touchpad is gimmicky

The Acer Swift 16 AI (SF16-51) makes a striking first impression , successfully blending an elegant, modern aesthetic with a clear focus on portability and a feature set geared towards productivity and creative pursuits. Its slim, lightweight aluminum...
Stunning 16-inch 120Hz OLED display (2880×1800) ; Excellent color accuracy and wide gamut coverage (100% sRGB/DCI-P3) ; Impressive CPU performance (especially with Core Ultra 9) ; Powerful Intel Arc 140V integrated graphics for an iGPU ; Excellent...
OLED screen is highly reflective, leading to glare in bright conditions ; Potential software bug causing performance modes (Turbo) to occasionally disappear

The Acer Swift 16 AI with Lunar Lake has the display of a great laptop, but not the chassis or audio quality of one.
Nice-looking OLED display ; Battery life is solid, though not as hefty as promised ; Chassis has a sleek black finish
The middle of the laptop sags when offered any pressure ; Sound quality is subpar ; Performance is expected for Lunar Lake, but there's no option to upgrade ; Some issues with palm rejection
Acer Swift 16 AI The Acer Swift 16 AI has good peformance for its class and a solid screen, but its build quality is substandard. If I had the choice of a thin Intel Lunar Lake laptop, the Swift 16 AI wouldn’t be my first choice. It doesn’t have the...
