Typically with laptop deals, you have to settle for specs that are a year or two out of date. Not so with the Acer Swift 16 AI, which has an 8-core Intel Core Ultra 7 256V processor. Paired to 16GB of RAM and an OLED touchscreen, it’s a pretty serious little machine. Today, you can get it refurbished for just $690—that’s over $500 off the retail price.
Those looking for a little extra breathing room for work will appreciate the 16-inch 2880×1800 screen, which will also look gorgeous for video and some light gaming thanks to the OLED panel. Other highlights include 16GB of RAM—the bare minimum I would suggest for Windows 11—plus a full 1TB SSD, an infrared camera for Windows Hello, and an extended keyboard with a number pad area. There are plenty of ports too, with double USB-C, double USB-A, and full-sized HDMI.
You can read more about it in PCWorld’s Acer Swift 16 AI review, and it looks like the model on sale at eBay is the same as our review unit. Note that this is a refurbished laptop, and even though it’s being sold by the official Acer account, it’s “eBay Refurbished,” which means a 2-year Allstate warranty. That’s longer than usual from the factory, though probably not as seamless to actually claim.
If this one is just above your price range, check out this Asus Vivobook deal for $550, which is still on sale at the time of writing. We’ve got other picks for the best affordable laptop deals, too!
