Reviews for the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 Ryzen 7 7840U
Acer Swift Edge 16 Ryzen 7 7840U laptop review: Zen 4 CPU and 3.2K 120 Hz OLED boost | Notebookcheck
The Acer Swift Edge 16 is one of the lightest 16-inch laptops in the market right now with the new Ryzen 7 7840U. There's no doubt that its CPU and 120 Hz OLED display are both impressive, but weaknesses elsewhere on the model shouldn't be ignored.

Acer Swift Edge 16 review: Good performance but at the cost of battery life
Source: India Today
I believe the idea is good: The Acer Swift Edge 16 is a laptop with large — and superb by all measures — screen and fairly capable hardware. And yet it is light as a feather at a weight of just 1.23 kilograms. Usually laptops with 16-inch screen weight around 1.60 to 1.70 kilograms, and that is if they are sleek and slim. So, the idea sure is nice. But it looks like there is no defeating the laws of physics. If you want a large laptop that is light and slim apparently you do need to compromise on certain aspects. I just don’t like how much of a compromise the Swift Edge 16 does on aspects like battery life and build quality. The Swift Edge 16 is not a bad machine — it excels with its display and its performance is fantastic for office and regular work. But its fair share of shortcomings hold it back, particularly in a segment where prices are premium and expectations of consumers are sky high.
