Finding a great Ultrabook for less than $1000 is a bit of a tall order, which makes the Acer Swift 3 (2019) an even better purchase with its MacBook-esque look, good thermal performance and decent performance.

85% Acer Swift 3 15-inch review (SF315-52G 2018 model – i7-8550U, Nvidia MX150)
Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org version
The 15-inch Swift 3 SF315-52G is a mid-tier computer with a nicely designed and built chassis, a fast keyboard, a matte IPS screen, good performance and good battery life. The aggressive pricing remains however its main selling point and the reason why you'd accept its quirks, even if none are necessarily deal-breakers: the dim screen, the average speakers, Wi-Fi speed and IO. I'd also make sure to buy from places that handle returns well, QC can be problematic at this level. Read on for the whole story.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
