The Acer Swift Edge 16 has a lot to offer for a sub-$1,000 machine. Not only is it thin and light, but the OLED screen is gorgeous and super vibrant. It weighs just 2.71 pounds, which is considered featherlight as far as laptops go. You’re even getting a 16-inch 2000p OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. According to our reviewer, the display “delivers an infinite contrast ratio and deep, inky black levels that produce convincing shadows in dark scenes.” While the screen is a delight to watch movies on, the 54 watt-hour battery is small and lacking, managing only six to seven hours of battery life on a single charge. That’s not a horrible result, but we’ve seen better.

This machine comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U CPU, Intel Iris Xe graphics, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. It’s basically designed with day-to-day productivity in mind. The design itself is on the blander side, as it’s just a black square, but some folks may dig the simplicity of it. If you’re looking for a thin-and-light laptop with a stunning 16-inch OLED display, then the Acer Swift Edge 16 is your best bet. The price (just over $1,000) isn’t too bad, either.
