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

Installed xubuntu and the battery life is amazing! Light tasks like web browsing and word processing can exceed 12 hours of battery life, while gaming can have between 2 and 6 hours depending on the game. Its not a powerhouse for gaming, so 720p low settings to get a good framerate, but its battery life makes it fantastic for older titles. The lightweight design and size makes it great for taking back and forth to classes.

Didnt buy to be a gaming rig, but it does play. Graphics isnt really made for extreme gaming.

Great laptop for schoolwork

muy conforme con esta laptop, por ahora funciona muy muy bien! tardo 5 dias en llegar a lanus!!

I bought this for my son who is starting college, he won’t be doing a lot of papers on it so it is great for him. It’s light weight, has a nice processor but not a lot of storage, which we really didn’t need. He likes it and it does what he needs. I will say the first one had to be sent back due to a missing and/or bad driver and I did have to call tech support and yes, they are foreign so that did annoy me. It was exchanged with no problems.

I bought this laptop for myself after searching for a new one for my wife. She got a Dell Inspiron, BTW. I have a 2.5 year old Acer Swift 1 I purchased renewed from Amazon for $200 and it has outperformed my expectations at every turn. I lug it around everywhere. It has excellent battery life and just does the job. But with a Pentium Silver (a 2000+ on Passmark) it can be a little slow depending on what I am doing. And running PopOs is probably out. I use XFCE on it. The idea behind the purchase of the Swift 3 was to improve some things without sacrificing anything I already had with the Swift 1. I believe this laptop gets me a little closer to perfection. Here are the good and the bad:

Best laptop I have ever had

Great laptop for the price

My Acer Swift went bad in less than a year! It would constantly freeze and go black requiring me to power off multiple times every week. Acer tried not to honor the warranty. After I finally got them to acknowledge it was still under warranty, they supposedly replaced the SSD. Less than 5 months later, I started getting blue screen errors and booting Windows became impossible. Guess what? It was the SSD AGAIN!!! I paid to get it fixed AGAIN from my own pocket. When I attempted to reach out to Acer to suggest that their repair was flawed to start with, I was ignored.

We have had this laptop - 16GB 512 GB SSD - for about a week. Easiest computer I have ever set up even though the supplied documentation is a 6 page pamphlet. Turn it on and follow the prompts.
