We really liked the original Acer Swift Edge 16, and Acer's update to it is surprisingly intriguing: It's even thinner, though heavier, with a step down in both the display quality and price. In our original review of the Acer Swift Edge 16 we noted that "we've not seen a laptop with a larger screen that weighs less." But reviewer Matt Elliott went on to note that he wouldn't mind seeing Acer invest in a bit more material to stabilize the laptop. Acer apparently rejected that advice, went the other direction, and this $1,299 Ryzen 7000-based laptop is the result. As a consequence, the Acer Swift Edge 16 (SFE16-43-R98R) will be a tad thinner at 0.51 inches thick, but will weigh 2.73 pounds, a 0.14-pound increase over the previous generation.
