> 3 dayAcer 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.

> 3 dayThis little laptop is a breath of fresh air. We use it for school and online gaming. Everything loads fast and when gaming weve had few to no glitches. It is not a touch screen for those asking. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a quick, efficient, lightweight, durable laptop. Great job Acer!!

> 3 dayAn excellent PC laptop at this price. However, two omissions, one truly frustrating, prevents a top rating. Most aggravating: no hardware indication that CAPS LOCK is on! No indicator light. You find out when your repeated password entry attempts fail! Acer thought that a software-based symbol that flashes on the screen for one second would be sufficient. Not only does that not take into account not noticing in time, or forgetting, but it doesnt even work. It did when I first launched the computer, then never again. Tech support guided me to installing something, which brought it back, not not after the next time I started up. My solution is to keep Note Pad on standby to test the keys before entering anything that is case sensitive. I become angry every time!

Greater than one weekI needed a new computer for school, and I employed the help of a friend to weed my way through the overwhelming amount of laptops out there. He came back with this gem, and so far, I am happy with my purchase from Amazon. The Acer website and other outlets list this model for $749, but I snagged this laptop for under $700 including tax. It comes with Windows 10, but it did an update to Windows 11, which I did not like, but I was able to revert back to 10 with ease. The battery life is outstanding. Its lightweight, very portable, and easy to use. Seamless design and interface. Speaker quality is good. Just to make sure I made the right purchase, I did further research on this laptop and compared it to other brands/models. Very happy with my decision to buy this brand and model. Would recommend and buy again.
