Reviews for the Acer Swift Go 16 OLED SFG16-73
Source: CNet
Far from being all looks, the Swift Go 16 has strong core hardware paired with its pretty OLED screen, and at $1,150, it's a solid value proposition. For photo editing, heavy multitasking or most other productivity use cases, it's a great fit, though its graphics hardware doesn't quite do justice to that lovely display. The roomy, 16-inch screen means it's also a nice option for streaming movies or shows, or going deep down a YouTube rabbit hole, though you may want to opt for headphones for an audio experience that matches the visuals. That said, if you're looking for an OLED because you need to do a lot of GPU-heavy editing or rendering, or you want to show off the latest AAA games, you'd be better served by a machine with at least an entry-level graphics chip such as the HP Spectre x360 16, which is discounted right now to $1,240 as HP closes out its Spectre series.

The Acer Swift Go 16 is a whole lot of meh wrapped around a big and beautiful display. There’s no knocking the sharp, 16-inch OLED panel with its gorgeous contrast, rich color, and smooth refresh rate. But the rest of the system just lets it down. The build of the laptop is uninspired and not exceptionally good. It’s competitively light but not leading the pack in a meaningful way. The keyboard and trackpad make for a just fine user experience, but could definitely be better (though Acer seems allergic to adjusting its keycaps). And the speakers don’t do much to complement the display. The Acer Swift Go 16 steps up where CPU performance is concerned, but it’s thermals don’t let it keep as wide a margin as it ought to have against even some lower-power systems.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
