The Acer Swift Air 16 (SFA16-61M) is a remarkable engineering achievement that feels almost suspiciously light when you first pick it up. By combining a 16-inch form factor with a magnesium-aluminum chassis that barely crosses the 1 kg mark in our OLED configuration – and drops below it with the IPS version – Acer has created a genuinely unusual machine that offers expansive screen real estate without the usual weight penalty.

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.
