[ACER IFA Berlin 2025] Acer Swift Air 16 announced

Acer has just unveiled the Swift Air 16, its newest ultralight laptop, aimed squarely at modern mobile professionals. Weighing in at under 1 kilogram for the IPS model and just over 1 kg for the AMOLED variant, the Swift Air 16 slots into Acer’s premium thin-and-light lineup but with a larger, 16-inch display giving users an expansive screen real estate.

The Swift Air 16 is powered by the latest AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors, with options up to the Ryzen AI 7 350, alongside integrated AMD Radeon graphics. It runs on Windows 11 and joins the Copilot+ PC family, unlocking features like Recall (preview) and enhanced Windows Search for a smarter, AI-powered user experience. With up to 32GB LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage, this laptop is built for seamless multitasking, content creation, and productivity on the go.

Acer offers two display options—a 16-inch WQXGA+ AMOLED (2880×1800, 120Hz, 400 nits, 100% DCI-P3) for creators and media enthusiasts, and a WUXGA IPS panel (1920×1200, 60Hz) for everyday users. Both stick to a 16:10 aspect ratio, maximizing workspace without adding bulk. The magnesium-aluminum chassis is available in four colors, balancing style with ruggedness for frequent travelers.

Other key specs include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, two USB-C ports, USB-A, HDMI 1.4, a 2MP FHD IR camera with privacy shutter, and a 3-cell 50Wh battery promising up to 13 hours of life. Pricing and availability will vary by market. We’ll update this article for updates with the Philippine release.
