Acer Swift 16 Air — Ultra-light 16-inch announced at IFA 2025
Acer unveiled the Swift 16 Air at IFA 2025 — a 16-inch laptop that aims to redefine portability. The standout is its weight: the IPS version weighs just over 2 lbs (≈1 kg), while the AMOLED option increases it slightly to ~2.4 lbs. That makes the Swift 16 Air lighter than many 13-inch ultraportables.
