Acer Swift Edge SFE16 review - A lightweight 16-inch laptop with AMD power and an OLED display

Modern jack of all trades! The new Acer Swift Edge only weighs in at just over a kilogram. Despite this, the 16-inch laptop features a top-of-the-range SoC with its AMD Ryzen 7 7735U and a strong iGPU. Whether this is enough to compete with the LG Gram and what other features the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 has to offer are all things you will learn in this detailed review.

The Acer Swift Edge SFE16 is a super-lightweight 16-inch laptop and with its AMD Ryzen 7 7735U, it offers a brand-new and top-of-the-range SoC with a strong iGPU. This means that currently, AMD offer the better total package and especially compared to Intel when it comes to 3D performance. Its CPU performance can't be overlooked, too, as the laptop features a native 8-core processor. We will discuss further details about this later on in the review. Currently, the laptop can be bought online for $1,079. This setup includes 16 GB DDR5 RAM, a 1-TB SSD and an OLED panel. This price makes the laptop an upper-mid-range device and it will be put up against similarly powerful competitors in our tests. All of the devices we have compared are 16-inch models.

Case - Magnesium und aluminum keep things light

The Acer Swift Edge SFE16 is an extremely slim device made perfectly from high-quality materials (magnesium and aluminum). The base is stiff enough, although, due to the metals used, it does retain a certain level of flexibility. Thankfully, this doesn't pose to be an issue when you hold the laptop in one hand, as the device is so light anyway. The only time the base and display lid can be bent is if you explicitly try to do so. The same can be said for the keyboard: There are a few areas where you can press it in ever so slightly - specifically the top back part of the keyboard. Again, this shouldn't prove to be an issue in everyday use. The Acer Swift Edge SFE16 hasn't attempted anything crazy with its colors - the device is all black. Although, it must be said that fingerprints are quite visible on the laptop's smooth surfaces.

Acer Swift Edge SFE16 - Micron SSD

In terms of weight, the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 is by far one of the lightest of the devices we tested, alongside the LG Gram 16Z90Q. There is nothing noteworthy about the device's footprint - neither in a negative nor positive way. At only 14 millimetres thick, our test sample is very thin indeed - but this measurement is beaten by the Samsung Galaxy Book3.

Communication

Wi-Fi 6E module
Wi-Fi 6E module

The Acer Swift Edge SFE16 is equipped with a modern Wi-Fi 6E module that also supports Bluetooth 5.2, which you can use to connect further accessories. In our test, we measured some somewhat disappointing results within the 5-GHz frequency band. Using 6 GHz, the results were slightly better, although the laptop's competitors did a little better overall. We used an Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 as a test router for these tests.

Webcam

The laptop's webcam has a resolution of 1080p (HD), meaning it is a little more detailed than most basic 720p models. lt must be said, its color accuracy isn't the greatest.

Accessories

Included with the laptop is also a lightweight and compact 65-watt USB-C power supply (194 grams) and a few info pamphlets.

Maintenance

It is generally possible to do some maintenance work on the Acer Swift Edge SFE16. At the same time, it has to be noted that the laptop's RAM is securely built-in and you also can't install a second SSD. Even so, the bottom plate can be removed quite easily, for example to remove dirt from the device. You can swap out the SSD as well as the WLAN module.

Warranty

The laptop is covered by a standard one-year warranty in the USA which currently cannot be extended.

Input devices - The Swift Edge doesn't have a numeric keypad

We already touched on the topic of stability - in everyday use, the little bit of flexibility shouldn't pose to be an issue. All-in-all, the keyboard left quite a good impression on us. You do, however, have to take into consideration the missing numerical keypad. In addition to this, the function keys in the first row are a bit on the small side. The same can be said for the arrow keys "up" and "down". The subjective feedback you get while typing is nice and most people should manage fine enough with this keyboard. As is standard on most current devices, the Acer Swift Edge SFE16's keyboard has white backlighting which has two intensity levels to pick from.

Touchpad

At 12.6 x 8.4 cm, the laptop's touchpad is decently sized. At the same time, the touchpad on the Samsung Galaxy Book3 is slightly bigger. Even so, we find the touchpad on this laptop to be sufficient as an alternative to a mouse - it reacts well to inputs and the surface feels nice and smooth. Its preciseness and gesture support function pose no need for critique. Both click areas give you clear audible feedback upon pressing. Although, its pressure point could have been a little firmer.

Display - OLED with accurate colors

Subpixel-Anordnung
Subpixel-Anordnung

The Acer Swift Edge SFE16 has a 16-inch OLED display with a resolution of 3,840 x 2,400 pixels. With a ratio of 16:10, working is fun on the device. Together with its high resolution, this gives the laptop a pixel density of 283 PPI.

In our test, we achieved great measurements which, at times, left its competitors in the dust. Even so, we would note its average brightness of 369 cd/m² as being its biggest critique point. Subjectively, this is a small issue on the highest of standards, as the display is definitely bright enough for everyday use. Furthermore, an even brighter display would mean putting further pressure on the device's already small battery. Its illumination levels were almost perfect (97 %) thanks to its OLED technology. As there is no backlighting, the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 has no issues with clouding. Although, we did measure a relatively low PWM frequency which began at a display brightness of 50 % and below.

Its depiction quality is almost perfect - our DeltaE 2000 color measurements confirmed this. Ex works, we noted values below the target value of 3, which means that Acer deliver the Swift Edge SFE16 with a manufacturer-specific calibration. In terms of color accuracy, the laptop also achieved near-perfect rates and as a result, places itself on the same level as the AMOLED display on the Samsung Galaxy Book3. This means we could definitely see the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 being used in professional fields.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 2 ms rise
↘ 1 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 9 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 1 ms rise
↘ 1 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 5 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 239 Hz ≤ 50 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 239 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 50 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 239 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17903 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The laptop's shiny display leads to quite annoying reflections outside, which limits its uses considerably. The display brightness also doesn't help at all. This means your only solution if you have to use the laptop outside will be to find a very shaded spot to sit in.

Testing conditions

You can switch between three manufacturer-specific performance modes using the key combination "Fn" + "F", which change the fan speeds. We used "Performance Mode" (benchmarks) and "Silent mode" (battery test).

Processor

An AMD Ryzen 7 7735U is the powerhouse within the Acer Swift Edge SFE16. The SoC has 8 cores and can process a total of 16 threads at once. The Rembrandt SoC's power consumption is limited to 28 watts at most. In our test, however, we didn't achieve this value - as seen in the Cinebench R15 Multi loop results, the laptop's SoC only used a maximum of 23.5 watts. On average, the AMD Ryzen 7 7735U's power consumption plateaued at just over 18 watts. 

In our CPU tests, we noted good results - better than the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 based on an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U. It has to be noted that this device features two fewer cores. Its single-core performance was about on the same level. The Intel Core i5-1240P and Intel Core i5-1340P delivered better performance, meaning the Samsung Galaxy Book3 and the Acer TravelMate P4 took first and second place, respectively.

For further comparisons and benchmarks, take a look at our CPU comparison table.

System performance

A combination of a brand-new SoC with a strong iGPU and DDR5 RAM left a very good subjective impression on us in terms of performance, which was solidified by the benchmark results. However, in our ranking, the Intel-powered devices did a little better, meaning the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 landed somewhere in the middle.

Storage devices

1-TB SSD from Micron
1-TB SSD from Micron

A fast SSD from Micron sits within the Acer Swift Edge SFE16. The present model has 1 TB storage space which isn't divided into partitions. The M.2 interface is optimally utilized because the installed SSD also natively supports the PCIe 4.0 interface in full bandwidth. This results in a great score, which puts our review sample in first place in this comparison. The second-placed LG Gram 16 was clearly beaten with a gap of 18 percentage points.

To limit thermal load ever so slightly, the bottom plate is used to cool the device. There is a small heat conduction pad in the area of the Micron controller. However, this couldn't completely prevent an overload during continuous performance. This resulted in sporadic performance drops down to about 1,700 MB/s while reading. However, we couldn't determine a noticeable performance loss during our extensive test phase with numerous installations.

Graphics card

The AMD Ryzen 7 7735U is part of the current Rembrandt series, meaning it also has an AMD Radeon 680M iGPU. We have already analyzed this iGPU in other devices and it has to be said, the AMD did much better than its competitors in terms of performance. Intel, with their Iris Xe AMD, simply couldn't keep up. In current comparison, we noted the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 to deliver the exact performance levels which were to be expected. The AMD Radeon 680M's previous recorded average performance levels could even be exceeded at times. 

Further AMD Radeon 680M benchmarks can be found here.

Gaming performance

Thanks to its comparatively powerful AMD Radeon 680M, the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 came out on top in our gaming tests. Even so, you must remember that this laptop is an office/multimedia device. As a result, we could only measure playable frame rates at low to medium detail settings. However, its performance is highly dependent on the individual game, so we are unable to form a generalized opinion on how well-suited this laptop is for gaming.

For further details on the iGPU's performance in comparison to other graphics cards, take a look at our GPU games list.

The frame rates we measured while running The Witcher 3 showed a slight dip in 3D performance over a longer period of time. The LG Gram 16 struggled even more to achieve consistent 3D performance levels.

3D performance via eGPU dock with Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

The Acer Swift Edge SFE16 with a Razer Core X and GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

You can achieve much better 3D performance by using the Thunderbolt port in order to connect an external graphics card. We did exactly this using the Razer Core X and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. In our synthetic benchmarks, we could see that this combination was even able to keep up with the Huawei MateBook X, which we recently took a closer look at in a similar constellation. 

Of course, don't want to keep the laptop's realistic gaming performance in the same combination a secret from you. Using these accessories, it is definitely fit for gaming. In this constellation, many games can be run effortlessly at maximum detail levels. The only game which stood out was the game F1 22, which is presumably affected too strongly by bandwidth restrictions: Using Thunderbolt, you can only achieve PCI Express 3.0 speeds with 4 lanes.

Emissions - Good enough cooling, but too small battery

Noise emissions

The device's built-in cooling system is relatively compact and consists of a small heat pipe as well as one fan. In idle mode, we noted very quiet volume levels - only just more than the measured ambient noise. As soon as the laptop is placed under any sort of load, you start to hear the little fan whirring. At most, we measured 42.7 dB(A) and average noise emissions were around 42.3 dB(A). There isn't that big a difference between medium and high load when it comes to how fast the fan spins. Subjectively, the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 does feel like it's a little louder due to the high frequency generated by the airflow. Even so, the Samsung and Acer devices we tested got even louder.

Temperature

In idle mode, we didn't initially observe any extreme temperature hotspots on the laptop's surfaces. Even under load, we only measured temperatures above 40 °C in a few areas. Compared to its competitors, the Acer Swift Edge SFE16's case heated up a bit more. However, we would not consider this to be problematic in everyday use.

Stress test

We can hardly speak of temperature problems when talking about the Acer Swift Edge SFE16. At no point did we measure any critical temperatures. We noted a maximum of 88 °C using Prime95. In the further course, this leveled off at around 80 °C. We did, however, also see that the PL1 value could be kept at 20 watts during longer load and was not subject to big fluctuations. We measured a short spike up to around 30 watts, which was also when the temperature peaked.

The two speakers are located next to the keyboard and are directed downwards. As a result, the sound quality varies greatly depending on the surface on which the device is placed. In general, trebles and mids predominate, although basses are actually present, too - to some extent. The speakers are good enough for video calls, and voices can be heard clearly.

65-watt USB-C power supply

In comparison, the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 isn't very frugal. Still, we measured an average of 48 watts under load and a peak of 56 watts - a moderate power consumption level. Nevertheless, the laptop still showed room for improvement in idle mode, as its competitors were at times much more frugal. Its charger charges the device via a USB-C connector and can deliver a maximum of 65 watts. This is more than enough for the Acer Swift Edge SFE16.

Runtimes

54-Wh battery
54-Wh battery

The installed battery has a 54-Wh capacity, meaning the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 has quite a small battery compared to the other devices we tested. Only the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 is subjected to an even smaller battery and even so, we measured much longer runtimes on this device than on our test sample. Due to its comparatively small power storage, the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 simply cannot keep up with its competitors. Even so, its runtimes of just over 7 hours in our WLAN test are still sufficient for everyday use. In this test, the laptop's display brightness was lowered by three levels down to 150 cd/m². At maximum display brightness, you will have to factor in even shorter runtimes - about 5 hours, to be precise.

In our test, it took 163 minutes to charge the laptop fully. That is a bit longer than expected and should be taken into account during use. However, the 90% mark was already reached in just under half that time.

Acer Swift Edge SFE16 review. Test device provided by Acer Germany.

The Acer Swift Edge SFE16 has lots to offer as an office laptop and could easily be used as a multimedia device. The 16-inch device is one of the lightest in the comparison field and in addition to this, it is extremely thin and still performs well. The installed AMD Ryzen 7 7735U, with its 8 cores, was able to deliver great multi-core performance even without throttling too much under load. Furthermore, the SoC has a good iGPU - better than pretty much all of the Intel devices in this test. You still have to take into account that Intel are the clear winners when it comes to CPU performance. 

With regard to the laptop's build, we have nothing but positive things to say. Its high-quality materials justify the device's price - although, its smooth surfaces tend to attract quite a few fingerprints. The manufacturer has made sure to keep the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 up-to-date by treating it to two Thunderbolt 4 ports. We would've been happy about an additional SD card reader. Unfortunately, the laptop can only accommodate one SSD and the RAM proves to have its limitations as well, as you can't upgrade it at all. If you would like to be on the safe side, you would be better off spending the extra money and getting the model with 32 GB RAM. Still, the 1 TB storage capacity should be enough for most people.

The Acer Swift Edge SFE16 has a stunning OLED display and a fast and frugal processor. Due to its limited upgrade options, you should make sure to just go for the Swift Edge with 32 GB RAM. 

The highlight of the Acer Swift Edge SFE16 is clearly its OLED display. It is super sharp and did amazingly in our tests. Thanks to its high color accuracy and good Delta E 2000 values, the Acer laptop could easily find itself on the wish lists of many professional content creators. You do have to make a compromise when it comes to battery life; the LG and Samsung devices did a little better here. The LG Gram 16 remains one of its biggest competitors, as its screen is on a similarly high level to that of the Swift Edge SFE16. Both devices are currently a little cheaper than the Acer Swift Edge SFE16, but they also come with their own individual critique points.

Price and availability

The Acer Swift Edge SFE16 can currently be found from $1,079 on Amazon.
