Pros and Cons

Acer Swift 16 AI

Strengths

The Acer Swift 16i has a healthy mix of great hardware, and truly amazing pricing. For $1,000, you simply won't find another 16-in laptop that has nearly the same performance, battery life, and general lack of issues.
The laptop's keyboard is excellent, with keys that sink into the very solid build chassis, providing enough key travel for a satisfying typing feel.
The trackpad is good, accurate, sensitive, and doesn't collect fingerprints easily. It would be great if it's just an inch larger.
The laptop has a gorgeous OLED display to top it all off.
