The Acer Swift Edge AI 14 surprised me every time I picked it up. I knew it only weighed 2.18 pounds and I’d marveled at its barely-there design countless times, and yet, it impressed me each time I held it. This laptop is simultaneously lightweight and well-built, with features that rival more expensive Windows alternatives.In addition to its commuter-friendly form factor, Acer’s Swift Edge AI 14 boasts incredible battery life, a stunning 2.8K OLED display, and a keyboard that feels and sounds great. It also has a lovely variety of ports, though it unfortunately houses both of its USB-C ports on the left side, which isn’t the best for charging convenience.It has greater flaws than just a lack of double-sided USB-C ports, too. The quality of its built-in webcam and two down-firing speakers left a lot to be desired, but despite these cons, I’d still say the Acer Swift Edge AI 14 is one of the best OLED laptops we’ve reviewed so far.Acer Swift Edge AI 14 price and specs For what it offers, Acer’s 14-inch Swift Edge AI is a well-priced mid-range laptop.
