Acer's new Swift laptop takes different direction

The Acer Swift 16 AI laptop, previously a standout device, has undergone a refresh that shifts its design philosophy. While the 2025 model was highly praised, this year's iteration appears to be exploring a new approach. This change in direction raises questions about whether the updated model will resonate as strongly with users and maintain the same level of appeal as its predecessor, particularly in the competitive Windows PC market.
