The Acer Swift Edge 16 release date appears to not be too far away. Here you’ll find everything we know about this new slimline creative laptop with top notch display, including a full breakdown of the latest Acer Swift Edge 16 specs info and Acer Swift Edge 16 price data.
Acer Swift Edge 16 specs
The Acer Swift Edge 16 comes equipped with the latest Phoenix Line AMD Ryzen 7040 range of CPUs (all members of the Ryzen 7000 series laptop CPU family) which come with the latest integrated graphics options that are supposed to be able to compete with dedicated graphics cards (somewhere between a GTX 1650 and RTX 3060 depending on the SKU apparently, though we’ll have to wait for testing on this). Although we don’t knwo the exact processor SKU options, we know the most powerful will come with the Radeon 780M iGPU.
The 16-inch OLED display looks to be ideal for creative workflows – be they photo editing, color grading, graphical design or myriad other uses. The claimed peaked brightness of 500 nits, and especially the 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage and 0.2ms response time should always be taken with a pinch of salt until independent testing can take place, however if true then the screen looks very tasty indeed, primarily for creatives but also for some gaming if you go with the 780M option.
The stated dimensions and very light weight (for a 16″ machine) are very impressive indeed.
