I don’t generally pay much attention to a laptop’s touchpad. Unless they’re small or off-center, a touchpad on one laptop is about the same as on another. That’s not the case with the Acer Swift 16 AI, which Acer says has the world’s largest haptic touchpad. Given how unusual this is, I had to write about it before delivering my full review of the laptop.
Measuring 6.9 by 4.3 inches, the Swift 16 AI’s touchpad instantly stands out the moment you open the laptop. The reason for its unusual size is that you can draw on it with the included stylus. The touchpad even has a 16:10 aspect ratio to align with the screen’s size. While that’s useful if you’re an artist, those who only use a laptop for writing might find the touchpad's size a hindrance.
