Acer Aspire 16 AI (A16-11M)
Acer's Aspire 16 AI (A16-11M) is a 16-inch Copilot+ laptop on the Snapdragon X X1-26-100, announced in May 2025. This record covers the 16 GB LPDDR5X, 512 GB SSD model with a matte 120 Hz 1920x1200 IPS panel and a 65 Wh battery, listed at $799.99 on Acer's US store; Acer also sells a touchscreen A16-11MT and offers up to 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage.
Pros
- Long runtime in review testing: just over 21 hours in a YouTube streaming battery drain test on the 65 Wh battery
- Light for a 16-inch laptop at 1.55 kg and 15.9 mm, with aluminum top and bottom covers
- 120 Hz variable refresh rate 1920x1200 IPS display with 100% sRGB coverage
- Two USB4 Type-C ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1 and a microSD card reader, plus Wi-Fi 7
- 1440p IR webcam with a privacy shutter for Windows Hello face login
Cons
- Windows on Arm: x86 apps run through emulation, so app compatibility needs checking before buying
- Entry-level Snapdragon X chip: single-core scores trailed Intel and Apple laptops in review testing, and the Adreno X1-45 graphics are weak for games
- Text looked slightly pixelated at 1920x1200 on a 16-inch panel in review testing, and the speakers sound muddy
- No fingerprint reader; the IR camera is the only biometric option
