Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The swift 3 has an i7-1065g7 processor with iris xe graphics. It has 8gb of ram and uses pci-e 4. It runs identically with the same battery life (comparing the new one to the life of the battery when it was new) and benchmark scores.

I like the keyboard, which is backlit. The backlit keyboard is definitely a help for someone like me that's more of a hunt and * variety than a touch typist. The keyboard is not overly clicky, although it is a bit louder than i would like.

Screen is bright and easy to read, battery life is excellent. It has a metal chassis so it is durable, though you wouldn't know it by feeling it.

Quality

I fully updated the laptop and have not encountered any quality issues so far after almost 2 months of use.

Excelent laptop, very lightweight, the backlit keyboard make it very easy to use in dark enviroments

Bad microphone and an average audio quality.

It feels cheap and membrane-y rather than solid and mechanical.

Price

Considering the price point i am very satisfied with its performance.

This is a pretty well-performing laptop for the cost.

It is replacing my aging yoga 920 which i paid $1600 for in 2017.

I do not expect everything top notch for the price it's offered.

Shipping

Update: feb 28company says they got the acer but now need 2 full days, maybe even 3, to make a decision on a refund.

After this i proceeded to windows updates, did all of those, all of the recommended drivers,, and then the upgrade to 20h2, ver... Read More

[opened up]inside of the laptop, you can see in my picture they didn't waste a whole lot of room.

Competitiveness

It's a quality laptop, with long battery life, at a good amount less than some of it's rivals.

The wifi card is 6, so if your router is wifi 6, this is compatible with that and you'll notice faster speeds and longer range ... Read More

So while this laptop is light it isn't all that much lighter than other similar laptops.

For comparison, a ryzen 3 3300x 4core scored 2782 and ryzen 5 3600 6 core scored 2638.
