Hello. I got the acer swift edge 16 oled. This was one of the reviews i relied on. My main complaint is that your review wasnt accurate regarding fan noise. Setting the pc to silent and best efficiency wasnt enough to keep laptop silent. Fans turn on very frequently. And loudly so, in a completely quiet environment. Later i learned that is because first fan level is 3400 rpm. Fans turn on while browsing the news, opening windows settings, even working on a word document. We had to reduce the refresh rate 60hz to significantly reduce the fan noise. Room temp is about 24C and there was no other cpu load on mentioned tasks.

Even with 60hz + silent + best efficiency, fans cycle on and off watching a 1080p 60fps video on youtube. Its a shame fans turn on only at 44 C. Basically laptop juggles between 40-44C.
