The Acer Swift 3 has several good points—it's an ultraportable that provides a wealth of features, a pinch of style, and competitive performance (especially its great battery life) for the reasonable price of $999.99. Like its competitors, it's no gaming laptop, but it checks the boxes you'd want for a traveling productivity partner. What prevents a stronger recommendation is Acer's move from last year's squarer 3:2 aspect ratio screen to the slightly retro 16:9 panel of this year's edition. For a 14-inch laptop that's meant to take you through your work or school day, a 16:10 or ideally 3:2 display provides a roomier workspace than a 16:9 screen that's good for watching movies but less useful for navigating web pages, email inboxes, and Microsoft Office docs.

70% Review: Acer Swift 3 Laptop (2021)

The biggest physical change from the previous model is a new hinge that's been adjusted to make way for a new speaker, which has surprisingly good sound. Thanks to the 300-nit display, with 100 percent sRGB coverage, and the good sound, the Swift 3 is great for watching movies. Blacks in the shadows are nice and deep, and colors appear richly saturated without being overly so. There is one thing I dislike about the Swift 3, which is the same thing I disliked about the last model—that same small, fragile-looking, non-USB, single pin charger. I say it's fragile, but my wife's Acer has the same pin, works fine, and is three years old, so it's probably nothing to worry about. And the Swift 3 can charge off the USB-C thunderbolt port, which makes it even stranger. USB-C chargers: They're the way of the future, Acer. Still, I think Acer's Swift 3 is one of the best deals on the market right now. For $1,000 you get a laptop that's powerful enough for most people, has phenomenal battery life, a good screen, and great sound. For most of us, that's more than enough.

Acer Swift 3 (SF313-53) review – more vertical space gets you through your workdays
Source: Laptop Media
Acer Swift 3 (SF313-53)’s IPS panel (BOE NE135FBM-N41 (BOE08BC)) has a high resolution, comfortable viewing angles, high maximum brightness, great contrast ratio, and 99% of sRGB coverage. Additionally, its backlight doesn’t flicker at any brightness level. Another thing we were impressed by, was the color accuracy. Especially when our Gaming and Web design profile is present, we monitor an Average dE of 0.6, which is among the best we’ve ever tested. So, no matter your workflow – Web design, interior design, art, photography, engineering, or e-commerce, this laptop will provide everything you need, to get the most accurate color representation. By the way, thanks to the high maximum brightness, working outdoors should be no issue, even with the glossy display.

80% Acer Swift 3 SF313-53 review (2020 – Tiger Lake hardware and 3:2 display)
Source: Ultrabook Review
This Swift 3 SF313-53 is an interesting mid-range ultraportable with a focus on daily-use productivity, thanks to its 3:2 display. This is what primarily puts it on the map, as one of the more affordable ultrabooks with Tiger Lake hardware, good IO, a big battery, and a solid-quality 3:2 display. On the other hand, buyers should be aware of the quirky inputs, poor audio, and potential panel flickering.

Above all, this display size is used for subnotebooks, ultrabooks and convertibles. For all three types, this size is quite large. The biggest variety of subnotebooks is represented with this size.
