Reviews for the Acer Swift 16 AI SF16-51

The Acer Swift 16 AI is a good laptop but not for demanding AI workflows. Our tests showed it struggling through image generation, upsizing images, and complex video editing. That's not to say it's a bad laptop; you've just got to be careful not to throw too much at it. If you're a generalist who needs a laptop for surfing the web, streaming videos, and performing light creative tasks, then this laptop will give you everything you need.

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.

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.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
