Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the Swift 16 AI if you want a fast 16-inch laptop with a great screen: reviewers praised its Panther Lake performance, color-rich OLED touchscreen and long battery, with 18 hours 58 minutes in one video test. Skip it if you want to draw on the screen, because the stylus works only on the giant touchpad. Typing around that touchpad takes getting used to, the screen reflects, and the webcam is grainy.

Best for

Office workers who want a fast, big-screen OLED laptop.

Not for

Artists who want to draw on the screen.
