Are there any laptops that have upgradeable RAM nowadays? This has gotten completely ridiculous.. 🤦♂
Excellent video
Thank you for another great review!
Great review Andrew! I bought one in Sweden (6850u / 32GB quad channel DDR5) since you did your unboxing and am really loving it. I upgraded the main drive to a 2TB WD850x and put in a second SSD in during the Black Friday sales, but initially didn't know that the laptop has to be plugged in to get the full benefit of the gen 4 speeds (othewise limited to gen3). The USB-C ports are called USB4 on Acer's website and read as such in the device manager. I asked someone from Acer about this and was told they are only 3.2 gen 2. Am wondering if they will be officially upgraded to USB4, like the ones on the AMD Razor laptop recently. That would mean they officially support Thunderbolt 3 at least, but I have no way to test it anyway.
If they made the keyboard bigger and added 1mm to the entire laptop for the key travel, add 100g to the battery, add an SD reader (preferably full size one) and put some better speakers in then this thing would be pretty perfect, but I'm still really happy with it!
Thanks for making these videos, you helped me a lot 🙂
No number pad. Sad
Very good review Andrew. I had to watch again the LG Gram review for comparison.
I would still go for the Gram. It has 40% more battery according to your review, probably slightly better keyboard, better sound again according to your reviews (and already the bar for sound for the Gram is very low), no PWM and of course Thunderbolt for eGPU. Also in your Gram review there was a certain slide that showed a higher Cinebench r23 score of above 9000, so even performancewise (maybe it was in performance mode?) the Gram probably is ifaster than the Swift. But the competition is good and maybe it will nudge LG to move to Ryzen in the future
I don't know… I've had 3 Acer laptops so far, 2 of them were very expensive (over 2,500 EUR) and one broke down on me and two started lagging and get CPU stuttering after just 1.5-2 years of use, even after full reset and windows reinstall… Got my first two Asus 16'' OLED laptops about 3 years ago and I still have them, fully functioning, no lag, no CPU stuttering, no high disk usage, nothing… They are just as fast and responsive as they were on the first day. I'm looking for a third laptop for photo editing now and I'm really not sure about Acer… To me, Acer doesn't really scream ''quality'' whatsoever…
Big screen AND OLED AND 4k AND super lightweight plus you have the powerful Radeon 680m igpu! This laptop has it all, I'm really impressed!
It can literally get even lighter than this.
Phones are already so much more lighter than this.
Just make a laptop with phone hardware in a lightweight laptop body and install Chrome OS on it (because Windows will suck on that hardware).
Would make an awesome lightweight laptop.
PS: I doubt that it's not done already.
We really needed a 16 inch which was lighter than 1.99 pounds
the battery could have been larger , other than that its almost perfect
1:55 first look and first remind my sometimes ago Lenovo X1 Carbone. 🙂
Nice review, thanks
Trash tbh
Nice review. Thank you!
I have the 16inch MacBoook Pro but I need a windows machine for work, I always associated Acer with cheap products, but I will have to give this serious consideration.
Andrew, nice review as always. I think I saw this on sale @ Costco for $999 for Black Friday…not sure if it's still on sale. Personally I'm not a fan of the reflective OLED screens and wish they had a matte IPS option. Also wish they had gone with a bigger battery (80W/hr) like the LG Gram 16..now that could have yielded a REALLY great battery life…and I'd trade more battery life for a few more ounces any day of the week…but alas I guess they were going for the marketing title of "Lightest 16 Laptop". 🙄(roll eyes). Also I feel like they could have included in a micro SD card.
Andrew, about 6 mths ago you did a "ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 7 (2022): Unboxing & First Look Review" of the X1 Yoga Gen 7 but you never did a full review. Did you decide that there was no interest in seeing your ratings and overall score?
acer computers are terrible
Nice laptop. Camera and mics are okay. These manufacturers who are trying to make their units lighter and lighter need to be careful not to sacrifice on quality, Great review.
