Full disclosure: Im a Mac guy. I walked away from Windows machines ten years ago and - until recently - have never looked back. But too many people I know still have them and I still get support questions so I figured it was time to see what was new in that field.

I love this laptop, it is thin, light and classy. It’s fast and beautiful picture quality. I don’t know specs and rams and all that stuff but what I do know is this laptop was easy set-up and just overall great quality. I am so happy with this

I liked it too much, its nice, slim & powerfull:

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.

Honestly hate this thing. It’s slower than my old MacBook Air I bought in 2016. It’s only been a few months and the laptop keeps showing errors. The only things I’ve even downloaded on here are tableau, and some files for school. Such a waste and I wish I could return this crap

Great when it first arrived, this is only my second time using it and this is what happened.

I am normally a Thinkpad user and was looking at this Acer laptop very critically. But surprisingly is surpassed all my expectations. Just a bit short of 5 stars.

Fast bootup, and display, quiet operation.

For my needs it works out just fine. An option to install Windows 11 is available but somewhat confusing to disable the upgrade if you dont want it as I prefer to stay with version 10. Impressively thin and light and fast enough for all but serious gamers who can expect to pay much more. A great laptop for the price.

This laptop is exactly what I was looking for, small, great graphics and the quality is excellent
