Nice medium price laptop

I love it. Many cool features such as the fingerprint scanner (which I heard was bad but ir works quite well!) The screen was “too dim” but I found it not as bad as people claimed it to be. One thing I disliked is all the bloat ware but it only took me like 10 minutes of pruning around to delete it all… but it’s with everything now a days lol. Anyways good product that I think will serve me very well for my upcoming college year!

Screen pixelated and went bad after a couple of months. No replacement.

We have an earlier version that works well. This one kept freezing up and had to be hard rebooted. We returned the laptop with no issues. Good company. May just be a one off.

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.

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.

El equipo funciona de maravilla, fue un regalo para mi esposa, y ella ocupa la lap para Office o búsquedas en la web, nada demandante y pues está muy sobrada la lap, yo la he usado algunas veces para tratar de estresarla un poco con más apps, pero la verdad en ningún momento la he visto que falle. El único punto negativo para ella (pero ya sabía que tenía esa configuración) es el idioma del teclado, cambie el idioma y compré unas estampas y asunto arreglado. Otro pero podría ser que no es posible aumentar la ram, pero hay algunos vídeos en YouTube donde muestran que si es posible, solo es cuestión de esperar a que la garantía finalice y ver si es posible o no .

I bought this for my business and ended having to get it fixed the first day because a software error. Then afterwards had to fight with it for my zoom meetings just to find out that the camera didnt work. Another trip to the tech shop. Finally,When I thought I had done everything that I could do to fix this computer the touchscreen stopped working. Did you know that the techs charge 300 dollars just to change a screen. Next time I will save myself a headache, money, and go to a OfficeMax or something.

This laptop meets all my needs as a student. No issues with performance while researching and having lots of tabs open. The keyboard feels good to type on as well. Big upgrade from my Dell laptop. Will consider acer when looking for a laptop in the future.
