> 3 dayFor 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.

> 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 weekThe Mac I was using was old and I decided against buying another when they changed the port sizes. I was looking for something similar, and this Acer has been great so far. Its light, bright, fast and has very good battery life. My last Acer never died. It lasted over 10 years and just became obsolete. I hope they are still building computers with that sort of quality.

> 3 dayThis laptop is very light and thin. The full function USB-C is very useful when used with a 10 in one hub. I am happy with everything although the screen is lacking in contrast and could be better. Very capable processor and good graphics capabilities

> 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 dayEs muy rápida y ligera la batería duraba como 10 hrs estaba muy feliz con la compra pero se me descompuso al mes ya no quiso cargar hable a Acer México y no me quisieron hacer válida la garantía por ser producto exportado, por suerte Amazon me pudo hacer la devolución, un gran equipo si compras en el país de origen por experiencia no recomiendó exportarlo

> 3 dayIve had many issues with this computer when it comes to recording music. The computer itself often glitches when I plug in an audio interface. And when Ive asked for help from Microsoft, they simply say it isnt their problem without providing solutions. Dont cheap out with this computer if youre doing anything other than browsing the web.

Greater than one weekThe Acer Swift 3 is an amazing option for a student just needing a laptop thatll last the day, while still providing smooth performance on the Ryzen 7 And AMD processors, and 8GB of RAM, amazing sound by the DTS sound divers.
