Reviews for the Acer Swift 3 SF314-57, i3-1005G1

Acer Swift 3 (SF314-57) review – 10th Gen Intel processors + a super lightweight body
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
However, you have to keep in mind that our testing machine had the Core i3-1005G1 on board, which produces slightly less heat than the Core i5-1035G1, which has double the number of cores. Moreover, the MX250 should make a big difference in terms of noise and cooling capacity but will give you significantly better framerates in 99% of the cases.

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.

Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
