Acer’s Swift 16 Air Laptop Weighs Just Over Two Pounds

Acer just stole the show at IFA 2025 with the unveiling of their new Swift 16 Air laptop, and its most impressive feature is undoubtedly its weight. Imagine a 16-inch laptop that clocks in at just over two pounds – yes, that’s even lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Air!

This featherlight design comes with choice in display. You can opt for a standard IPS panel or upgrade to a vibrant AMOLED screen. It’s worth noting that choosing the AMOLED display nudges the weight up slightly to 2.4 pounds, but it remains incredibly portable for its size.

Under the hood, the Swift 16 Air is powered by robust AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors, with options extending to the AI 7 350, complemented by AMD Radeon GPUs. This setup promises solid performance for your daily tasks and creative projects. And for those on the move, you’ll appreciate the decent battery life, offering up to 13 hours on a single charge.

Connectivity is well-covered with a pair of USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and an HDMI port. For your privacy and communication needs, it features a webcam with a handy shutter, along with two speakers and two microphones.

Keep an eye out for the Acer Swift 16 Air this November, when it’s scheduled to become available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. While we’re still awaiting pricing and availability details for the US, the starting cost in Europe converts to around $1,160, giving us an idea of its anticipated value.
