The previous gen came with WQUXGA 3840 x 2400, high-brightness (400 nits) display. So this is a downgrade at least in terms of pixel density.
Would be nice if you mentioned that part in the article.
It's highly likely that 16GB/1TB (or 512GB) might be the base configuration.

Yes, but 60 Hz in all three configs (6800U, 6850U, 7735U). This year it's 120 Hz OLED.

I have mentioned it. "While the previous Swift Edge offered a 16:10 UHD+ OLED panel, the 2023 Swift Edge 16 makes do with
just a WQXGA+ (3200 x 2000) OLED display."

+1 +1 true from 60 to 120Hz is double more than enough for an Ultrabook. Acer has just hit the table with this AMD Zen 4 laptop not only because it has Phoenix with AI artificial intelligence, but also because of RDNA 3 and the surprise Wiffi 7 with which it is planned to end the cables. I see the ultrabook as somewhat expensive but really, as I see the characteristics, it has everything necessary for many years USB 4.0 + HDMI 2.1 + 16" Amoled screen + a weight of 2.4lb.
We will see how the competition reacts but it can become a best seller

I guess I missed it xD
So happy they added the numeric keypad this time around. Been waiting for a Lenovo Thinkbook 16 refresh, but haven't seen any news on that this year.
Let's set a timer for how long it will take this panel to show up on panelook (https://www.panelook.com/resmodlist.php?st=&pl=&so_attr=&resolutions%5B%5D=8565&panel_size_inch=1600) :P
Jokes aside, looking forward to seeing how it compares to the previous!
Flickering AMOLED with low color resolution vs IPS with same declared resolution, with a burn-in resource of no more than 7-8k hours (15k+ for IPS). With a glossy panel - all your glare, your eyes will get tired. With a real contrast that is 50-60 times lower than stated by marketers (and does not give any advantage in office/daylight vs. IPS with a contrast of 1500:1). And poor color accuracy...do you really need such a screen?
And to complete the picture - a damaged numpad that cannot be used, like in other idiotic Acer/Asus/MSI/Gigabyte series.
There is no point in writing about other shortcomings.

How do you know this will be the case?
I agree this is a problem with RG/BG phone panels, and I agree with your other points. I haven't, however, seen a laptop AMOLED so far that wasn't a full-RGB panel.
Acer swift edge 16 (sfe16-43) with: Wiifi 7 + Ryzen 7 7840U Phoenix + RDNA 3 + USB 4 + HDMI 2.1 + DDR5 +OLED at 120hz very few laptops have such a high frequency + Artificial intelligence.
At last an OEM that does things by listening to the public, this ultrabook will be a BEST SELLER.

Yes, but 60 Hz in all three configs (6800U, 6850U, 7735U). This year it's 120 Hz OLED + Wiffi 7 + Artificial intelligence + numeric keypad + pluto for encryption + Much more battery + RDNA 3
