Reviews for the Acer Swift 1 SF114-34-P6U1
Acer’s 14-inch laptop scores some major points thanks to its great battery life, silent operation, keyboard backlight and matte IPS screen. The quad-core Pentium Silver N6000 performs about as well as a Skylake chip. Windows is not included. The whole package costs 279 Euros (~$315).

If portability, an all-day battery and a low price tag top your list of laptop priorities, the Acer Swift 1 is hard to beat. Performance is solid for the price you pay, just bear in mind that it comes with limitations, and if you’re looking to run any high-demand software or games, this isn’t the laptop for you. (If you do want a cheap alternative, consider one of the best Chromebooks for students.) It won’t get you through complex tasks and will struggle with large games, but if you need it simply to write documents, surf the web and watch videos, it's more than capable. Connectivity is good, with USB-C and HDMI ports included, and the fingerprint reader for added security is a nice bonus. Overall, the Acer Swift 1 is a good budget laptop, with a design that makes it look more premium than the price tag suggests. Its feature set, particularly price, battery life and portability, make it a great choice for students or for anyone wanting an everyday device to share at home.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
