Nowadays, you can find lots of great daily driver laptops that pack more than enough power to floor you at surprisingly affordable prices—like this Acer Swift 16 AI, now available for $800 at Best Buy (was $1,250). That’s a hefty $450 discount for a laptop we recently gave a positive review.

Running on an Intel Core Ultra 7 256V processor and 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, this sleek and sturdy Intel Lunar Lake laptop is AI-ready and supports all the Copilot+ AI features that are coming and part of Windows 11. The 1TB SSD offers plenty of storage for work, photos, apps, and even running local LLMs directly on the laptop.

In our review of the Acer Swift 16 AI, we praised the laptop’s sharp 16-inch OLED screen and great battery life. With a 3K resolution and touchscreen capabilities, the display is both gorgeous and practical, capped off with 340 nits of brightness and a 0.2ms response time. The colors are vibrant, the contrast deep, and the image crystal clear.

As for the battery, our reviewing expert says “the Acer Swift 16 AI will last you an entire work day and then some.” Our tests put its 70-watt-hour battery at around 17.5 hours, which is more than you’ll probably need.
