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

This is the first laptop Ive ever had and so far its been pretty awesome.

I’m really not picky when it comes to laptops since all I need it for is to watch videos, studying, etc. I did some research to see which laptop would be the best for everyday use, and was happy to find the Swift 3. First few days were great and I was content with it, HOWEVER, on the third day, when I restarted my laptop, an error sign popped up. Long story short, I had to reboot it (which sucks since I already customized everything, but thankfully nothing important was deleted) but is now working.

A better, perfect, slimmer laptop to replace my old Gateway Windows 8 laptop. Same memory as comparable MacBooks with more storage. Bigger 14” screen and comes with Windows 10, but my model was upgraded to Windows 11 for free.

Ive used this device on and off for just over 4 months now and this thing is a darn good laptop. For general usage web browsing and for document creation, its a very capable device. Ive suggested to multiple friends & colleagues to consider this little device as it really cant be competed with by any other device in this price range. I did try some gaming on it with low level titles like Counter Strike: CZ and it ran, but not very smoothly. So I wouldnt suggest this as a gaming device. And with the screen size, itd be pretty cramped to attempt that anyway. But as a general usage device, it cant be beat. My only complaint is the touch pad is a little spotty at times with recognizing a tap versus a click, but thats the only bad thing I can say about this.

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

Pro:

For a $650 laptop, this is more than you can ask for. It has amazing build quality due to the full aluminum build, great performance as it has an AMD Ryzen 4700U paired with Radeon graphics, and plenty of ports. My only slight complaint is the screen, its a 1920x1080 panel which is enough for me although the problem is the color accuracy. Its not anything crazy but it could be more accurate. This doesnt affect me but it may affect people in graphics design or editing. This has a Vega 7 which is an AMD graphics card and if that doesnt suit you, this does have a USB-C port that supports thunderbolt 3 so you can plug in an external NViDia GPU. To summerize, I am very happy with this product, I have no doubts that it will last me 3 years no problem. :)

I didn’t even turn it on because I could tell that it had been refurbished! Not what I paid for! I’ve already printed the return label, very disappointed!

I have been looking for a good quality laptop for about six months and decided to pick up this one on sale. Very impressed with the screen quality, processing speed, and SSD storage. Great value for the price. It is also very lightweight and great for bringing to and from work.

A little smaller than i would like but a very good machine. Is there a setting to change the @ key to the proper one?
