Reviews for the Acer Swift Air 16 SFA16-61M

Acer’s Swift Air 16 is a 990g 16in laptop that almost feels too light
Source: Expert Reviews
As impressive as the build is, I’m not sure that the relatively middling battery life is a sacrifice I’d personally feel comfortable making – I’m not that desperate for a massive laptop that weighs less than a bag of sugar. But if you absolutely must have a laptop with a 16in display and you don’t want to pay the weight penalty, a small battery is clearly the sacrifice you’re going to have to make. Still, I’ll wait to pass my final verdict until I have my hands on the laptop and have tested the battery myself. Who knows, it might yet surprise me.
