Acer Swift 3 Thin & Light Laptop | 14 Full HD IPS 100% sRGB Display | AMD Ryzen 7 5700U Octa-Core Processor | 8GB LPDDR4X | 512GB NVMe SSD | WiFi 6 | Backlit KB | FPR | Amazon Alexa | SF314-43-R2YY

Acer put together a nice little 14” laptop in the Swift 3. The brushed aluminum chassis is compact and lightweight, rivaling the weight and form factor of my 11-inch Chromebook. The IPS display has good brightness, color depth, contrast and the matte finish helps greatly reduce glare. The FHD resolution is plenty sharp at this size and looks sharper, more crisp and more vivid than many larger screens running at the same 1920 X 1080 resolution. Display integrity is also good with no backlight bleeding, bad pixels or other observable faults. It is not a touchscreen, much to my delight. The primary internal components include a Ryzen 7 CPU, 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM, Radeon Vega 8 GPU and a 512GB NVMe drive. This hardware config provides the Swift with snappy performance that excels at multi-tasking. The Swift 3 can easily accommodate numerous running applications and open browser tabs simultaneously as well as light gaming and light to moderate photo/video editing. Wireless performance also works well. The internal Wifi and Bluetooth adapters connect quickly and reliably and maintain a stable connection with my WiFi 6 router and Bluetooth devices. I use a Bluetooth mouse with the Swift regularly and have yet to experience a dropped connection. Battery life is good and I can get a full day of non-continuous use for productivity tasks. Obviously, mileage will vary depending on usage. Fan noise is non-existent during most basic desktop use and only really appears when the system is heavily taxed.

Every week there is something new wrong with this machine, drivers disappear, widow’s blocks my access to things. The ability to turn Bluetooth on and off just completely disappeared. I will never buy a machine with windows on it again, run Linux or get a Mac

Placing the on/off button right next to the delete button was a really bad design choice. I accidentally turn this thing off several times a day.

So far so good. Will update review after a couple of months.

This was my first laptop and everything was easy to set up. Love the look of it and all of its features

Great for a beginner

Recibí exactamente lo publicado, todo muy bien y llego antes de lo previsto.

PROS:

This PC worked great for the first day. But, then it went into an infinite loop of restarting with the blue screen of death.

Great value product
