Screen size and travel weight are likely at or near the top of every laptop buyer's list of priorities, where you want the most of the former and the least of the latter. The Acer Swift Edge lets you have your display and travel weight, too, supplying a roomy and modern 16-inch 16:10 wrapped in a thin magnesium alloy chassis that's a mere ½/2 inch thick and roughly 2.5 pounds. We've not seen a laptop with a larger screen that weighs less-although I'd happily accept an extra ounce or two of carrying weight to get a more rigid lid for the display.
The 16-inch display-an OLED panel with a crisp 4K resolution-is outstanding and worth protecting. The image quality is stellar, offering brilliant color and outstanding contrast with inky blacks and bright whites. An octa-core AMD Ryzen 7 6800U CPU and integrated Radeon graphics power the action, a duo that offers some multimedia editing ability but is better suited for general home entertainment and office pursuits. If you want the biggest OLED display in the thinnest, lightest design, the Acer Swift Edge is it.
