82% Acer Swift 16 AI review: All-day battery in a deceptively slim laptop
Source: Gadgetguy EN→zh-CN
In the world of consumer laptops, most devices tend to aim to be nearly everything to everyone. That means enough power to handle the most-used software, and enough battery life to get through the day. On that front, the Acer Swift 16 AI succeeds. 16 inches might be a bit much for everyone’s preferences, but it’s one of the more portable 16-inch laptops available. With its stature comes a full suite of ports, a long-lasting battery, and versatile performance, providing little to complain about.

70% Acer Swift 16 AI (Intel) review: Polarizing potential
Source: Laptop Mag EN→zh-CN
Like its smaller sibling, the Acer Swift 16 AI can’t handle heavy multitasking as well as its competitors. Its battery life, though long, is still left in the dust by some of its rivals. But there’s something to be said about its vivid and sharp OLED display, speakers, and even its keyboard — and if you are upgrading from a laptop you bought three or more years ago, the Swift’s multitasking performance might be the fastest you’ve ever experienced. It all comes down to how much you’d be okay with spending on the Swift. I would not spend over $1,000 on it, but if you find it on sale for $850 or less? Okay, now I’m listening.

The Acer Swift16 SF16-51 measures 35x24.5x1.5cm the last figure is at the back and it is 1cm at the front. The screen is 35x23cm with .5cm borders left and right, 1cm at the base and up to 1cm at the top, its only 1cm for the centre 7cm which contains the webcam. The viewable screen is 34x21.5cm which gives the diagonal imperial measurement of 16inches. Going around the outside starting at the back of the left side you have HDMI, USB3 and two USB 'C'. The front is clear and continuing round on the right side is a 3.5mm audio socket and finally a USB3 and two LEDs. The back is clear as the screen goes back to 180 degrees. The processor is an Intel Ultra 7 running at 2.2GHz. There is an Intel Arch graphics card with 128MB.

80% Acer Swift 16 AI (SF16-51) review: Versatile and effective
Source: It Pro EN→zh-CN
The comparison with the Samsung is instructive because, while the Swift 16 AI isn't as good in some key aspects, it rights some of the wrongs of the Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360. Both machines offer good all-round performance and fantastic 16-inch OLED screens housed in tasteful thin-and-light designs. But if the Samsung has the edge on battery life and premium build quality, the Swift 16 wins on usability, thanks to a better keyboard, smaller touchpad, and more thought-out ergonomics. It's simply a more comfortable laptop for everyday use. What's more, it's fantastic value, giving you the feel and speeds of a premium 16-inch laptop at a price point that's more likely to fit within an average SMB's budget.

Despite its subpar speakers, the Swift 16 AI delivers much to admire, particularly its OLED touch screen and long battery life. Paired with its Intel Core Ultra 2 V-class CPU, this laptop is well-suited to casual entertainment and light content creation. However, a compromised keyboard layout makes it less than ideal for productivity. The touted AI features also aren't that noteworthy, but this is more of a reflection on Copilot+ laptops in general. Where this Acer shines is its value, especially if it's on sale for $849.99, as it was during the review period. Even at its regular price, the Swift 16 AI punches above its weight, providing many of the features of more expensive laptops for less. You can get a sharper screen and a level of raw power more appropriate for a 16-inch laptop out of the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo, but don't spurn this Swift if your budget is tighter.

80% Acer Swift 16 AI review: A big, beautiful OLED laptop
Source: PC World EN→zh-CN
Like its smaller incarnation, the Acer Swift 16 AI is a competent laptop for all your general computing and productivity needs. Acer is trying as hard as any OEM to justify the AI hype with features like Acer Assist. However, even all this effort does not guarantee a good AI experience. Microsoft’s Copilot+ features are still barely there in Windows 11. Beyond all the marketing, the Acer Swift 16 AI is fast enough for almost everyone with a Core Ultra 7, but I wish Acer made this laptop in a Core Ultra 9 variant. Even then, the machine’s multithreaded performance would be lacking. If you’re going to be editing video, an AMD-based machine is your best bet right now. While this laptop shares a lot with the 14-inch Acer AI PC, it looks nicer.

75% Acer Swift 16 AI Review: The Perfect Midrange Entertainment Laptop but for 1 Flaw
Source: CNet EN→zh-CN
The Swift 16 is overqualified as a productivity machine and lacking as an entertainment laptop due mainly to its subpar speakers (though the integrated graphics mean it's not an option for high-performance gaming, either). It's best for people looking for a big-screen OLED laptop who don't want to sacrifice portability or affordability. If you're shopping for a 16-inch entertainment laptop, I'd point you toward the pricier HP Spectre x360 16, which delivers on both sides of the AV equation, with much better audio output from its quad speakers to go with its great 16-inch OLED display.

70% Acer Swift AI 16 review: a large and lovely OLED display is the difference
Source: Digital Trends EN→zh-CN
There’s an argument to be made for laptop that’s reasonably thin and light while still offering up a bunch of screen real estate. While some 16-inch laptops are thicker and heavier thanks to power-hungry components, others manage to be just fast enough to support the multitasking made possible by a larger display while remaining reasonably portable. The new Acer Swift AI 16 is one such laptop. It uses Intel’s latest Lunar Lake chipsets to provide reasonably fast and much more efficient performance, mated with a 16-inch OLED display. It’s also reasonably priced, making it an attractive option for road warriors who need to do more than one thing at a time.

Acer:

Intel Arc 140V: 据报道，某些英特尔 Lunar Lake 处理器采用了速度相当快的集成图形适配器。140V 有 8 个 Xe² 架构内核，运行频率高达 2,050 MHz，有 8 个光线追踪单元；支持 DirectX 12 Ultimate，还支持所有现代视频编解码器。如果最近泄露的基准测试成绩能说明问题，那么它的游戏性能将略高于GeForce MX570。

Intel Arc 130V: 低端英特尔 Lunar Lake 处理器采用的集成图形适配器。它是 Arc 7 iGPU 的直接继承者；拥有 7 个 Xe² 架构内核，运行频率高达 1,850 MHz，并有 7 个光线追踪单元可供选择。我们预计 130V 的速度将与 Radeon 780M 不相上下，可以在低图形设置下以 1080p 处理大多数 2023 和一些 2024 游戏的帧速率。
