When I look at the buying guides I’ve curated for Laptop Mag, nearly every best laptop has at least one glaring drawback floating in a sea of stellar features. Even if those laptops are more expensive, one or more of those features can be worth the extra cost if they are too awesome to ignore. So, when I feel underwhelmed by a laptop, it’s usually because it’s trying to appeal to a general audience.
That’s how I feel about the Acer Swift 16 AI (Intel). It performs well but is not the best for heavy multitaskers. It has a long battery life, but it’s not the longest. It’s thin and light for a 16-inch laptop but still a little awkward to handle. It’s competitively priced, but so are other laptops in its class — that have better performance, battery life, or a better design.
