Quotehigh color accuracy
A rather ridiculous and 100% false statement from the author - after all, he did NOT calibrate the typical OLED screen to dE less than 2, although professionals generally work with dE less than 1.
The resolution in color obviously does not correspond to the manufacturer's declarations - it is 1.5 times lower.
Well, again, why did the author not measure the contrast? We are not interested in verbal claims that it is "infinite" and we DO NOT believe in such false claims anymore, when in other reviews, other authors measured the contrast and found it to be orders of magnitude worse than marketing claims of 1000000:1 or more.
The memory is very slow for 2023, but this is typical for slow AMD memory controllers, especially in the obsolete Zen3+. Why isn't Zen4 Phoenix here? The 7940HS at this high price should definitely be here with lpddr5 7500 for 1700$+.
About the fact that there is not enough memory, the author himself wrote. For this price, buyers expect 32-64GB in 2023.
Noise is up, even with AMD, but that's a price to pay for the weight at 16". Again, with the Zen4 7940HS, you'd probably be able to keep the same performance with less noise, or more with the same.
Will the model find its admirer? Hardly. After all, the keyboard is defective for 16".
I also draw attention to the dangerously high temperature on the case close to critical 50C - for modern screen panels this is a critical temperature, which excludes working with such a laptop on an external monitor with the screen lid closed, if you do not want to burn the screen much ahead of time .. .
For this money, you can buy an LG Gram 17" with a full-fledged keyboard and much more experience in the design of such models, i.e. obviously better reliability.
Actually, everyone is waiting for LG Gram 17-18" with a matte screen 4k@144Hz LG Black IPS 2000:1 (with full support for auto VRR on PSU/battery/very situations) with 7940HS and 32-64GB of memory, plus 2xUSB40, plus HDMI 2.1, plus RJ45 2.5-5Gbps with full keyboard.
And Acer just needs to stop fooling around and destroying own sales with idiotic truncated keyboards without a full-fledged numpad in 15.6+ models. And things will get better. And so, their laptops will continue to gather dust on the shelves of our stores. Sellers have to cut prices relative to competitors, but still no sales...

The LG Gram 16 cannot be one of the competitors of this ACER simply because ACER has RDNA 2 which is twice as powerful as Intel's Xe graphics.
THE LG Gram 16 cannot be a competitor to this ACER because its screen is OLED vs LG IPs there is an abyss of difference.
Processor power consumption on AMD vs Intel is much better on AMD
I don't understand why they don't put these important features.
