Acer's refreshed Swift Edge 16 is one of the BEST laptops of 2023

[@sbkpilot1]

the screen is crazy reflective though, I think they should've gone with a Matte screen...

[@MrZattack101]

I would say this is an LG gram killer, but the only LG gram 15/16 that is 120Hz has only Xe graphics lol. So this laptop has better screen and graphics than the gram16, with basically being the same weight.

I hope to get me one of these...love the specs on it😎

[@MrZattack101]

Seems like a great package at $1300

[@vladvld3433]

acer swift go 16 at 1000 usd is better.

[@CragScrambler]

It's an $800 laptop at best, 16gbbram and 512gb ssd? What are we still in 2019? 😂

Impresive thin and light laptop with 16 inch display

[@nathanlamaire]

If only it has two fans.

$1299 plus VAT plus exchange rate. So the UK, maybe £1600? That is relative to the Galaxy Book3 Pro but with better specs, though Samsung has a lot of deals ATM. Not sure if this Ryzen is a repackaged 2023 Zen chip, so we need to wait for tests on battery and performance. But the rest of the kit looks above average for the sector, including a better iGPU than Intel Ultrabooks.

[@steveredstone1711]

It's a new chip. It comes with Radeon 780m

[@jenan9016]

"Above average?" I have not heard of any laptop at 16" that has better specs than this currently. The last Edge had average battery life so need to test this one out sure, but... Edge 16 so far is ahead of any competitors.

[@sbkpilot1]

@andyH_England it's a Zen 4 chip, brand new. The "4" in the 3rd digit "7840" indicates Zen 4. The older models have a 3, for example 7735U.

[@TheDude50447]

The 7840u is an 8 core build on the most recent Zen 4 architecture with 12 CUs of RDNA 3 graphics called 780m. Its a mono die design and unlike other Zen 4 chips its manufactured on TSMCs latest 4nm process making it slightly more efficient than the 5nm node its based on. Watt for watt the chip outperforms anything else out there. In addition the 780m graphics offers similiar performance to a GTX 1060 6GB from just a few years ago. Its the fastest integrated graphics available on anything but Apple. Apple got one giant M2 ultra max pro whatever its called chip with 36 integrated graphic units that performs better.

acer swift g0 16 in uk at £1000, better value

[@az9az9az9]

This only supports 16GB RAM, the Lenovo Yoga 6 with 7840U also only supports 16GB. This is because 4nm AMD CPU can't handle more RAM. Yes 15W intel 13 gen U series is 3 times slower, but it's because 10nm CPU can push a lot of data.

[@nedjimb0]

There's other laptops and handhelds with the 7840U supporting 32gb and even 64gb ram. Including LPDDR5X.

[@az9az9az9]

@@nedjimb0 Yoga slim 7 Oled Gen 8 with strange CPU 7840S and 32GB RAM just popped up in Lenovo Finland. Unfortunately I can't order from them, because i'm at work when delivery comes only at home address.
