![]() If you choose the Acer Swift Edge 16 then go ahead and toss a pair of the best wireless headphones in your cart with it, as you don’t want to rely on these speakers for your audio. It also features a custom setting that you can configure yourself, but overall, it’s not a miracle cure for the laptop’s audio issues. Needless to say, there wasn’t a lot of bass to highlight the deeper instruments.Īcer does include the DTS audio software, which offers options for Music, Movies and Games. When the chorus hit, the guitar and percussion muddled together into one big mess. The vocals themselves are clear, but not crisp. I listened to “Just Pretend” by Bad Omens and I could barely hear the opening guitar meant to coincide with the vocals. Much like its keyboard, the Acer Swift Edge 16’s bottom-firing speakers are shallow. The 3.2 x 4.9-inch touchpad is sticky, and while it offers a decent click, it’s not smooth enough to satisfy my fingers while navigating through Google Docs or various web pages. It reminds me of typing on a MacBook during its worse keyboard-era. This is mostly due to the placement and shallowness of the keys. I typed an embarrassingly low 67 words per minute, which falls short of my typical 78 wpm average. And there’s not a lot of depth to distinguish the keys from each other. The keys are too shallow and tightly spaced which it made it difficult to navigate around. The click clacks weren’t very clicky or clacky on the Acer Swift Edge 16’s keyboard. It outshines the Inspiron 16 (288 nits), but not the Galaxy Book (377 nits) or MacBook Air (489 nits). The Inspiron 16 (70.4%), Galaxy Book (87.3%), and MacBook Air (75.9%) couldn’t even break triple digits.Īt 367 nits of brightness, the Acer Swift Edge 16 is reasonably bright, but just falls short of the category average (392 nits). However, since the display is glossy, it does catch some glare.Īccording to our colorimeter, the Acer Swift Edge 16 clocked in an average of 141% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, which crushes the average premium laptop (89.9%). The panel was bright enough to capture the details off set, like the coffee machine, sweeteners, and honey. The forest backdrop at the end of the trailer popped on the screen, bringing vibrant greens and yellows to life and completing that warm 80s feel. In the trailer for Paint, which depicts a fictional version of Bob Ross, Owen Wilson’s frizzy afro was detailed on the display. ![]()
