Acer Swift 3 Thin & Light Laptop, 14 Full HD IPS, AMD Ryzen 7 4700U Octa-Core with Radeon Graphics, 8GB LPDDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Backlit KB, Fingerprint Reader, Alexa Built-in

Touch pad with two finger right click is a little overly sensitive; limited USB ports (1). Memory and speed is great.

Ive been really impressed with this laptop, especially for this price range.

I will get the bad out of the way. The Power button should not be where the Delete key belongs! I have accidentally pushed the power button so many times trying to press delete. On this laptop Acer put the power button in the corner of the keyboard just like any other key. Im so used to having the delete key at the top right that I naturally go there. The power shape and size is just like the delete key next to it. This is a big usability error. Otherwise the only bad thing is not having an included SD Card reader.

I bought my swift 3 in 2020, and I was very happy with the laptop- it suited my minimal needs- until one day the screen went black, and I smelled sulfur. The repair shop informed me that components of the motherboard had burned out, and with labor, installing a new motherboard would cost as much as the laptop. It came with a 1-year warranty and burned out in 2. Very disappointing.

I replaced my ten year old 15.6 boat anchor, held together with duct tape which served me well with this lightweight 14 laptop. I love it. Since my primary use is writing I like the keyboard action and features. Since the keypad keys on the right side of the keyboard on the old one are missing (no loss for my use) reorienting to using it required some time, but my typing sped and accuracy have improved beyond the former one.

I would definitely not recommend to buy this laptop. As this laptop freezes more than 10 times in a day! And all I can do is force stop the laptop by pressing the power button like for 10 seconds. I tried many solutions like power drain and several other things. But its a waste of time and money. Instead add another 200 dollars to this and buy a better versioned laptop.

So far so good. Seems to run fast. Wish I could put a disc in it but oh well. I like how light and sleek it is but it makes the keyboard slightly cramped. All in all I would recommend

Excellent performance

This thin and light laptop is the best value in computers right now. You get a Ryzen 7 4700 octa-core processor with integrated Vega graphics, 8GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD for storage. Its blazingly fast for anything you want to do, whether its coding, 3d-modeling, photo and video editing -- in fact, it outperforms Apple and Dell models costing several times as much. You can do some gaming on it, thanks to the integrated Vega graphics and powerful CPU, but you will have to scale down resolution and detail levels to get good framerates. It also supports WIndows Hello through the built-in fingerprint scanner. Definitely recommended!
