Acer Swift Go 16 Review

 

The Acer Swift Go 16 will make a fine home desktop-replacer and occasional portable buddy, especially if you find it on sale.

Contrasty and colourful OLED screen ; Metal casing ; Higher-resolution webcam

Poor battery life for this class ; So-so keyboard and touchpad ; Basic, reflection-distorting plastic screen layer ; Ageing processor

The Acer Swift Go 16 will make a fine home desktop-replacer and occasional portable buddy, especially if you find it on sale. However, while it costs a bit less than some of its direct competition, short battery life and some noticeable more budget...

Acer Swift Go 16 (2024) Review

 

The under-$1,000, IPS-screened, Intel Core Ultra-powered version of Acer's Swift Go 16 lacks finesse but delivers plenty of speed and battery life for the price.

Acer Swift Go 16 Review

 

Acer's Swift Go 16 isn't cheap, but its value is undeniable, with a phenomenal display in a well-built chassis. Only its keyboard and battery life keep it off the award podium.

Acer Swift Go 16 Review: Strong CPU Performance Paired With a Big OLED

 

The Swift Go 16 is a good choice for those who want a big-screen laptop with productivity power, but it gets lost between Acer's own 16-inch Swift X and Swift Edge laptops.

Big, beautiful OLED display ; Lightweight for 16-inch laptop ; Strong application performance ; Great webcam

Integrated graphics ; Terrible speakers ; Below-average battery life

Acer Swift Go 14 OLED (SFG14-73) review – The Perfect Blend of Portability and Performance?

 

A thin metal laptop that boasts capable input devices and good comfort during max CPU loads – that's the Acer Swift Go 14 OLED (SFG14-73). If you don't care about the limited upgradability and pick a machine with 32GB of RAM, you'll get a future-proof...

Good battery life even with the base 53Wh unit ~ 8 hours of videos ; Light and thin (1.32 kg / 14.9 mm) ; Metal build ; The anodized finish seems fingerprint-proof (SDC4181) ; Wide viewing angles + 16:10 aspect ratio (SDC4181) ; 408 nits of max...

Limited upgradability ; 91°C CPU temperature in medium loads ; No eSIM or NFC functionality

Acer Swift Go (SFG16-72) review – Hot Offer

 

Despite its low weight and thin profile for a 16-incher, the Acer Swift Go (SFG16-72) offers adequate performance even in longer loads. The trade-off in this scenario is the high CPU temperature. Our advice is to avoid the configurations with just 8GB...

100% sRGB and DCP-P3 coverage + improved color accuracy with our “Design and Office” profile (SDC418D) ; Infinite contrast ratio (SDC418D) ; 598 nits of max brightness in HDR mode and 395 nits of peak brightness while viewing SDR content (SDC418D) ;...

Soldered memory ; PWM usage (SDC418D) ; 100°C CPU temperature in long stress ; The bottom display bezel is heated up to 58°C during heavy loads ; Noisy-ish fans in “Performance mode”

Acer Swift Go 16 Review: I Refuse To Call It An "AI Machine"

 

The Swift Go 16 is a good laptop that features a couple of cool AI tricks, sure. But it's far from being a true "AI machine."

Lightweight, durable build ; Excellent range of ports ; Efficient performance that tops several competitors

No OLED option ; Disappointing Battery life ; Keyboard is too shallow and stiff
