Acer’s Swift Edge 16 laptop debuts with a lightweight magnesium-aluminium alloy chassis

Acer has launched its latest addition to the Swift series, the Acer Swift Edge 16, a lightweight laptop designed for professionals and students looking for sleek and easily portable devices. The laptop weighs only 1.24 kg due to the clever use of aluminium in the chassis. 

The use of magnesium-aluminium alloy in the Acer Swift Edge 16 laptop is a notable feature that enhances its portability and durability. Compared to the regular aluminium material commonly used in laptops, this alloy is considerably lighter but still maintains a high level of strength. 

Some of the core specifications of Acer Swift Edge 16 are:

• Acer Swift Edge features a full-size keyboard with a number pad and an LED-backlit touchpad 
• It has two USB Type-A ports, two USB Type-C ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, and an SD card reader 
• The laptop comes with a large vent at the bottom to dissipate heat 
• It has a 16-inch 3.2K OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 0.2ms response time and 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut support 
• The display has 500 nits brightness, making it great for both indoor and outdoor use
• The 3.2K resolution ensures great detail, and the OLED panel ensures proper blacks and colours

This makes the Acer Swift Edge a suitable option for academic settings, where students and researchers require a lightweight device that can withstand regular use and transport. Moreover, using this alloy in the laptop's chassis and lid contributes to its minimalistic design, which is an added advantage for professionals who desire a sleek-looking device.
