Packed with pixels (3,840 by 2,400), the 16:10 aspect ratio display is worth protecting. The thin lid or display panel is quite flexible, however, and warrants careful treatment. The magnesium alloy chassis gives some structural rigidity to the laptop's base, though you'll definitely feel a bit of flex in the keyboard deck (albeit less than that seen in some larger LG Gram ultralights). With a device this slim and light, sturdiness is a concern.

It's not the thinnest around, measuring 0.55 by 14 by 9.5 inches (HWD), but it's certainly competitive thanks to narrow screen bezels all around. While notable in weight, the Acer is a simple slab design-wise. The Acer website lists a model with a slightly faster Ryzen U for $100 more. The laptop basically comes in only one configuration, which includes the OLED screen, an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor (CPU), 16GB of LPDDR5 memory (RAM), and a 1TB solid-state drive for $1,499.99. You don't have to worry much about finding the right model when shopping for an Acer Swift Edge 16. Swift Edge 16 Configurations and Other Features Unfortunately, the Swift Edge's performance is underwhelming and its keyboard is downright disappointing, keeping it from the top rank of productivity or content creation laptops. While it's not the cheapest slimline you can buy, its handsome OLED display makes it a clear value against rivals like the MacBook Pro or the Dell XPS 15 OLED, especially with the retail discounts often found on Acer notebooks (it's just $999 at Costco as of this writing).
