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

Performance is incredible for $900. Everything Ive done is extremely snappy, even while 6 of the 8 CPU cores are occupied running Folding at Home. The battery life, while not legendary by any means, is more than enough for me, though granted I probably get better battery life from my devices than most people do because Im blind and thus I can happily keep the screen brightness set to 0. My only gripes are the 8 GB ram and inability to find anywhere selling a 12 or 16 GB version with this generation of processor, and the fact I had to resort to editing the registry to access the High Performance plan and stop the laptop from losing network connectivity when it went idle, even though I turned every power saver feature like automatic sleeping off in the default plans. But those are minor annoyances all things considered unless your use-case absolutely requires more than 8 GB of RAM.

I bought this laptop because it had touchscreen and a mouse in the middle and everything I needed I thought so come to find out that the touchscreen didn’t wasn’t really reactive and didn’t work well so I sent it back and also I did not come with a DVD player so he had to buy an external to work with it which takes up one of your USB ports live with you only have two

Hi All,

I am not going to claim Im an expert with regards to tech but I do understand specs (I work in the IT industry as a programmer). For what its worth, this is bang for your buck. Ive done a lot of research and comparison before deciding to but this laptop (I considered different aspects such as price, speed, weight, etc.) and after I crunched the numbers, I felt I got my moneys worth on this one. I bought the AMD Ryzen one (just to try, since Ive always bought Intel ones). Also, Ive read that AMD has some strengths of its own (again, depending on what you want to use it for, your mileage may vary). But overall, I think this is a good deal.

Ive had my laptop just over two months, and Ive not tried all the bells and whistles, whatever they may be, but Ive found the laptop to do the job for which I bought it, just with a number of annoyances.

Every laptop I’ve ever owned was extremely slow the first time I used it besides this one. Highly recommend.

Overall is good except Finger print reader.

My only complainant is the continual Norton Pop up adds .

Muchas gracias ya me llegó el pedido
