The Acer Swift 3 is fast, affordable and decent in most departments thanks to its solid connectivity and high-resolution screen. But if you want more style, battery life or screen quality then you’ll have to find it elsewhere.

The Acer Swift 3 is a typical 14-inch midrange clamshell laptop in appearance, but it excels in a few crucial areas. First, it’s well-built. Second, its performance is class-leading, And third, its battery life is above average. That combines to create a laptop that should be on anyone’s shopping list. The one negative is the 16:9 display. Not every laptop has transitioned to 16:10 or 3:2, but enough have that the Swift 3 stands out. One day soon, I won’t recommend a laptop with an old-school aspect ratio no matter its other qualities, but that day hasn’t come just yet.

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.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
