60% Acer Swift Go 16 Review
Source: Trusted Reviews
If you’re going to buy an Acer Swift Go 16, I would advise waiting for a sale. While the core concept is commendable – a prestige laptop with generous core specs that costs less than much of the competition – some parts don’t quite land right when compared to the best laptops we’ve reviewed. Battery life well below all-day use is the main issue. And when combined with the so-so keyboard and touchpad, the ageing processor and reflection-distorting plastic screen cover, a little too much of the initial Swift Go 16 becomes mottled. If you find it selling below asking price, as was the case during our review window, the Acer Swift Go 16 could make a lot of sense, though, and save you hundreds off competing models.

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.
