The Acer Swift 3, in the form we tested it, is a midrange laptop that demonstrates the compromises we often have to make when shopping for a laptop. Are there faster systems available? Sure. Are there lighter, cheaper, or better-equipped ones? Undoubtedly. But at the end of the day, the question you always have to ask yourself is: Does the laptop offer enough for the price to meet my needs? And for a fair number of users, we imagine, the answer will be “Yes.”

The Acer Swift 3 is a decent midrange laptop with solid construction and strong performance. But its keyboard is shallow, and its display is dim and bland. On top of that, Acer's giant pile of bloatware evokes an experience usually only found on bargain-bin laptops.

Acer Swift 3 is a sturdy Windows machine that also manages to look elegant. Surely it is a copy of Apple's design, but then it works well. It is light despite its 14-inch screen and has good build quality. The keyboard, the plastic inserts around the display, or the hinge... all have good build quality. Having said that, it isn't as well-built as the MacBook Air itself, for example, that sells at the same price, and the battery backup you get is far less than advertised.

The Acer Swift 3 is a seriously impressive laptop for its price. It delivers an absolutely fantastic combination of looks, features, performance and battery life that no other machine can match for the same money. There are a few laptops of similar price and spec – such as the Lenovo Ideapad 510S – that deliver most of the same features and performance, but they can’t match the Swift’s all-metal exterior.

Although it’s a budget laptop, the Acer Swift 3 packs the performance and battery life to compete outside its price range. The wide range of ports and top-notch keyboard and touchpad are the icing on the cake. As long as you don’t mind its lack of style, you can’t get much better than the Swift 3.

Sure, the Swift 3 is one of the first laptops out of the gate with an 8th-Gen Intel Core CPU. The overall performance is worth the money -- we tested it as being as much as 76 percent faster than last year's model. But that doesn't make it an instant buy.

Acer Swift 3 SF314-52G-5848

New models, new processors, new graphics cards. Acer is presenting its new Swift 3 models, but this time with a new processor and a graphics card. The new 8th generation Intel Kaby Lake-R processors have more cores compared to 7th generation. In single-threaded applications, it may not make a huge difference, but performance gains appear as soon as you start doing multi-threaded tasks like video compressing etc. In those cases, performance gains are up to 40%. Of course different benchmarks may provide different results, but this can be seen as average performance increase. So why am I mentioning this details? Again, this new Acer Swift 3 model has the new processor and graphics card. What makes this model special is those new components. Because both are better compared to predecessor and both provide better value for your money. For instance, new Core i5 processors also have 4 cores and you will not need an i7 processor anymore for performance. This happens while keeping the power consumption at the same level as predecessors. The new MX150 GPU from Nvidia replaces GeForce 940MX. It is not for gaming of course, but you can still play games like League of Legends. Its highlight is power consumption. While providing better results compared to GeForce 940MX, it consumes less power. This all combined makes it possible to have more mobility by having longer battery times. Going back to the Acer Swift 3. The Swift 3 is the middle brother of the Swift 1 and Swift 5 models. It has a 14 inch screen with a resolution of 1,920 x 1080 pixels. Its touchscreen is protected by gorilla glass. However, I have to say it is pretty glossy and therefore not suitable for outside use. There high likely be other SKUs without touchscreen, so if you are planning high outside use, you may want to check out other models as well. Other aspects like sturdiness, chassis stability etc. are well thought. Not something premium of course, but there is a good mixture of plastic and metal here. It looks nice, smooth, but not cheap. You do not get that premium feel either, it is a mid-range laptop and it is what it looks like. Battery run time is around 5 to 7 hours depending on how you use it. Connectivity-wise you get 4 USB connections, 1 one of them is USB-C, good WiFi range and an HDMI output. The laptop looks lean and clean, Not too elegant, not too shiny. It is not a performance monster. It has been made for office work and some internet fun. It may cover your whole work day, an SSD ensures faster operation, 1.8 kg weight and a 14 inch screen make it easy to carry around. The sound output of the speakers is clear and loud, so you will not have any issues while making presentations. Overall, the only criticism I have is the constant fan noise. They keep running almost all the time. This can of course be fixed with a small software update, which we may be available in the coming days. Cutting it short, this device is mainly for office users who do not want to spend too much on a laptop. It is a mid-range device and does what it is made for; nothing more, nothing less.

Dim screen. Acer stuffs lots of computing power into the compact Swift 3 and even manages to deliver long battery life. The dim, glossy screen is its weak spot.

As you can tell, there's a lot to like about the Acer Swift 3. Our only real gripes are with the keyboard's cursor cluster, which you can master with a little practice, and the slightly dim display, which we don't want to overemphasize. If we don't sound as excited about this model as we do about the Swift 1, it's because it's less of a bargain—good laptops are a lot scarcer at $329 than they are at $649 (though they're a lot rarer there than they are at the price points of machines like the ThinkPad X1 Carbon). But if you're looking for a slim and light, 14-inch productivity partner that stays well south of four figures, the Swift 3 belongs on your short list.

80% Acer Swift 3 SF314-52 review – budget 14-inch laptop with Nvidia MX150 graphics
Source: Ultrabook Review English

Archive.org version
The updated Swift 3 SF314-52 is a good 14-inch laptop with a fairly thin and light body, solid construction, an excellent backlit keyboard, punchy speakers and smooth everyday performance. It is a little chubbier than other 14-incher with similar traits, but also more affordable, which is a trade-off many will probably accept. Just be aware it comes with a dim, washed out and glossy non-touch screen with an IPS panel, but a pretty crappy one. The big selling point is the hardware inside though, as this laptop is available with modern Core U processors and optional Nvidia MX150 graphics. Read on for the whole story.

The Acer Swift 3 is a worthy option around the 60K price point which combines the ports of a 15.6-inch laptop with the battery life and screen size of a portable machine. The laptop offers one of the best build quality we have seen at its price in addition to the stellar performance.

Acer Swift 3 SF314-52-517Z

The Acer Swift 3 SF314-52-517Z is one of the best value laptops. However, it differs from its predecessor in many ways: it has a different build and design, a glossy non-touch screen this time, a backlit keyboard with a new layout, new hardware inside and optional Nvidia MX150 dedicated graphics. The new Swift 3 gets a slight design change as well. The old version looked a lot like a MacBook Air, this one looks like a standard Acer laptop, with lines and branding elements that Acer puts on all their computers, like the Switch engraving on the piece of plastic between the screen’s hinges. The updated Swift 3 has gained some weight from the previous generation. It weighs nearly 1.72 kg (3.8 lbs) and is about 18 mm thick, which makes it pretty much averagely sized: portable enough to grab along in your bag or backpack, but a little heavier than the new generation 14-inchers like the Lenovo IdeaPad 320S or Asus Zenbook UX410, for example. It’s also a few millimeters bigger, as the bezels around the screen are fairly chunky, but it’s worth noting that all the 14-inchers with more compact builds are also more expensive. The 14-inch display is protected by Gorilla glass. There’s no touch though, Acer just decided to go with the glossy cover for extra strength and protection. It gets an IPS panel, so the viewing angles and contrast are fairly good, but it’s otherwise dim and limited in terms of color coverage. Under the hood, this laptop is powered by an Intel Core i5-8250U, 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. Crucially, unlike even cheaper laptops, the level of performance here is fine for multi-tasking. Acer’s laptop is not alone here, since every laptop with Intel UHD 620 graphics suffers from the same shortfall in gaming performance. While this is unlikely a strong gaming machine, technically, it would be just about possible to play older titles on it, at very low resolution. As far as the speakers go, they’re actually punchy and a step-up from the older Swift 3. They’re still placed on the bottom, but no longer distort at high volumes and no longer sound weird on a desk or when using the laptop on the lap and occasionally covering them. They’re also fairly loud at up to 80 dB at head level and the sound is surprisingly rich and clean. As for the webcam, it’s placed on top of the screen and flanked by microphones and it’s an average option with HD resolution that should do fine for occasional Skype calls. Acer puts a 48 Wh battery on this Swift 3, which is not bad for a budget laptop, especially since there’s no energy-hungry screen on this thing, but still a little smaller than what some of the competition offers.

70% Acer Swift 3 Review: Built for basics
Source: Htxt Africa English

As has been the case with previous Acer Swift 3 notebooks, this latest offering ticks all the necessary boxes. The problem is that there are no bells and whistles, which one expects there to be a couple of considering the notebook costs R11k. Yes, it will take care of the basics and see you through a normal work day, but there is nothing about the Swift 3 that makes you want to open it after you clock off.

The Acer Swift 3 is not the slimmest, nor the lightest, nor the most powerful laptop I’ve used, but it’s also significantly more affordable than those other options. The line includes models with an Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD for $499, all the way up to a model with an Intel Core i7 processor, discreet NVIDIA GPU, 8GB RAM and a 256 SSD for $999. The model I tested out falls in the middle and retails for $680.

Acer Swift 3 SF314-52G-50B3

The Acer Swift 3 SF314-52G-50B3 is a compact 14-incher with a brand-new ULV i7 quad-core processor and a dedicated GeForce MX150 GPU, so no need to worry about lacking performance. Acer packs a lot of computing power into the compact Swift 3 and even manages to deliver long battery life. The laptop is equipped with a robust construction that can hardly be bent in the lid or the chassis. Additionally, the edges around the screen are well built and guarantee a stable product. The entire case is made of aluminum, which is attached to the plastic inner chassis. At the same time, the Acer Swift 3 is relatively light and compact, although not as much as other 14-inch laptops on the market. It weighs around 1.5 kg and has a thickness of 18 mm, which, combined with its matte body that is not easily susceptible to scratches and smudges, makes it the ideal mobile computer. With its blunt edges and rounded corners, the laptop is ergonomic, easy to hold and use. The internal part of the body is also smooth and pleasant to the touch, with a comfortable palm rest area and a fingerprint reader for easier signing in to your Windows account. What is more, the hinges also seem to be well built and hold the screen in place, allowing the screen to be opened up to 180 degrees without problems.

The notebook is equipped with an Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core microprocessor at 1.6 GHz, 8 GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, an integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 GPU, as well as an NVIDIA GeForce MX150 with 2 GB of GDDR5 dedicated memory. However, we should note that the CPU, GPU, and RAM are soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. The display of the Acer Swift 3 has a Full-HD panel with an IPS matrix. It is protected by high-quality Corning Gorilla Glass. The diagonal measures 14 inches (35.56 cm), while the resolution amounts to 1920 x 1080p. The Acer Swift 3 has comfortable viewing angles. Further specs include an aspect ratio of 16:9, a pixel density of 157 PPI and a pixel pitch of 0.161 х 0.161 mm. The Swift 3 does not emit much noise at any time. The fan and the entire laptop remain mostly silent when idling or under light load. Even under maximum load, the fan barely speeds up. Acer has chosen a 3-cell battery with a capacity of 48 Wh that does what it was designed for well enough. However, the company could have picked a slightly larger battery considering the fact that there is plenty of room in the body. Nevertheless, thanks to its efficient hardware configuration, this laptop manages to exceed 7 hours of real autonomy (Wi-Fi navigation).

This laptop is an excellent update of the previous 14-inch Swift 3s. It's a slightly more expensive product, but at the same time it fixes many of their issues and compromises on very few aspects. The compact form-factor, the excellent build quality, the fast and accurate keyboard, the matte IPS screen, the hardware specs, the performance and the speakers are among its main top selling points, but at the same time potential buyers have to accept the slightly heavier construction and the fact that it runs hot with demanding loads.

Seeing one of these effortlessly handle a 10GB file transfer was very impressive. For people who need to work on the go, particularly people who shoot and edit video, this will be a real plus. As for how the Acer Swift 3 handles the rest of that supply chain – i.e. actually handling the editing and rendering – remains to be seen, but Intel’s promised us a boost in this department, too. I’m a little less keen on the flexy metal body, but maybe that’s just me. It definetly doesn’t feel ‘cheap’ and I do love how lightweight the Swift 3 is.

Acer Swift 3 (2019) review: This midrange notebook PC hides Nvidia graphics power
Source: Good Gear Guide English

Archive.org version
Acer's Swift 3 is one of many notebooks we've tested to offer a Core i5 or Core i7, but its real differentiator is the downclocked MX150, which can't compare to the faster-clocked GeForce MX150 chips inside some of its competition. You won’t notice any dropoff in day-to-day use, however, and stepping up to a meatier discrete GPU for gaming can cost several hundred dollars more. (Alternatively, you can look at discounted notebooks that feature older 8th-generation chips, too, but those are still over $1,000.)

Acer Swift 3 (SF314-55) review – classy business solution, bearing some flaws
Source: Laptop Media English

Archive.org version
Ok, from the two iterations of the latest 14-inch Swift 3 model, the (SF314-55) is clearly the more “premium” one. Yes, the (SF314-56) is very pretty, but this one is better built, seems sturdier and we lie you not – it can be opened with one hand. Certainly, in this oversaturated market of 14-inch business, classy devices the idea to offer something different from the others remains a top priority. In this case, however, Acer has chosen to stick with the orthodox design and try to perfect it. In some areas, it did indeed a good job, while in other – like the speakers – it failed loudly… or more precisely – quietly. This not very pleasant sensation is further enhanced by the significant coil whine coming from the SSD during file transfer which in the same time, triggers the fan.

The Swift laptop series is Acer‘s very own lineup of ultra-portable laptops, which has been consistently expanding due to largely popular demand from dedicated fans and experimenting users all around the globe. The Swift lineup cleverly branded itself through the distinction of odd numbers, which can be evidently seen through the gap in releases such as the case in the exemplary leap from the Acer Swift 1 series to the Acer Swift 3 series. As we touch upon the subject of the Swift 3 series, one of Acer’s recent releases would be none other than the Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R80D model. What makes this particular laptop model stand out from its other siblings within the very same lineup is worth investigating and diving upon. First and foremost, the Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R80D laptop model carries a screen size of 14 inch in total on a FHD IPS screen. This creates an 84 percentage of screen-to-body ratio in between two very narrow bezels. Not only that, with the incorporation of the Acer Color Intelligence technology and Exacolor architecture, courtesy of the company, color contrast is greatly enhanced to meet the user’s satisfaction. The construction of the Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R80D laptop model is formed through the selective combined usage of magnesium-lithium and magnesium-aluminum metal chassis. This enables the Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R80D laptop model to assume a lightweight property with only an approximated total weight of 1.19 kilograms (kg) as well as being compressed to only 15.95 millimeters thin. This makes the Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R80D laptop model to be regarded as one of the most conveniently portable devices made available to the market on this day and age. The Acer Swift 3 SF314-41-R80D laptop model has its own very unique features. For instance, the integration of several digital traits based on the principle of smart access such as Cortana, Wake on Voice (WoV) command, as well as an embedded fingerprint reader makes everything all the more accessible and easier for users to navigate around with. Cortana – also to be known as the Microsoft’s artificial intelligence for laptops much like Apple’s very own equivalent of Siri – is a smart virtual assistant that the users can employ their help of in accordance to their needs. For example Cortana can answer questions from the user through gathering information from a cloud-based server as well as scheduling tasks to ensure that the user can stay on track with time. Cortana not only keeps things organized and structured, but also aims to aid the user in various aspects of life. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

The Acer Swift 3 is a solid journeyman. It’s reliable, but it’s never going to stand out in a crowd. Thanks to its Core i5 processor and integrated GPU, the laptop is a capable workhorse and can handle most productivity and multimedia tasks. And given its wide variety of ports, you can cobble together a passable work machine. And the $699 price tag is immensely attractive.

The Swift 3 FS314-57 is one of the most competitively priced Intel Ice Lake ultraportables of the moment, as well as one of the most compact and lightweight 14-inch options in the $600-$1000 budget. Furthermore, Acer implemented the hardware very well, allowing solid performance in both daily use and in demanding loads, combined with excellent thermals and noise levels. At the same time, though, this 2020 update downgrades the typing experience, battery life and screen quality of the previous Swift 3 SF314-55, which reflects in our overall rating.

The Acer Swift 3 may seem a decent choice if you’re running on a tight budget, but it fails to impress on several fronts. Its performance is middling at best for most day-to-day tasks but far too easily breaks a sweat when pushed, while its unimpressive display leaves a lot to be desired.

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.

With its slim and light design, efficient (if not barn-burning) quad-core performance, and such extras as a Thunderbolt 3 port and support for the speedy new Wi-Fi 6 standard, the affordably priced Acer Swift 3 is a smart choice for budget-minded productivity mavens who don’t want to be weighed down. We have our quibbles, such as the dim display and middling battery life, but those seem like reasonable compromises given this laptop’s svelte form factor and $700 price tag.

Acer Swift 3 SF314-42-R1PR

The Acer Swift 3 SF314-42 is the latest device to join the Acer family. This new 14-inch laptop has AMD’s brand new Ryzen 7 4700U APU on board that lacks neither CPU nor GPU performance. Being a chic and compact laptop, the Swift 3 SF314-42 succeeds the SF314-41, which was released by AMD last year with the AMD Picasso APU on board. The SF314-42 has been equipped with a Renoir APU, the Ryzen 7 4700U, which has been equipped with Zen 2 architecture that provides a definite increase in performance compared to the Zen+ architecture found in the Ryzen 3000 Picasso APUs. The CPU part of the Ryzen 7 4700U comprises an eight-core processor that works at a base clock speed of 2.0 GHz. The processor can turbo up to 4.2GHz, but it does not support Simultaneous MultiThreading (SMT), which simply means that it can only execute one thread per core.

Just like its predecessor, the Acer Swift 3 SF314-42 received a rather stylish and slim metal case as its overall design. The chassis has a matte silver finish that is contrasted with a black plastic display frame. Due to the fact that there is no maintenance hatch, accessing the laptop’s internal components would require some disassembly. Apart from that, the display is held in place by pleasingly tight hinges, which allows the display to be opened up to 180-degrees. In addition, it should be noted that any pressure applied to the back of the lid does not cause any distortion on the display. The 14-inch screen of the Acer Swift 3 works natively at 1920 x 1080 pixels.

In terms of its connectivity, the Swift 3 SF314-42 has been equipped with two USB Type-A ports, with one operating at the USB-2.0 standard and the other at the USB-3.2 Gen1 standard. In addition, there is a USB Type-C port that utilizes the latest USB-3.2 Gen2 standard. This port supports both DisplayPort and USB Power Delivery (PD) which simply means that the device can output audio and video even while being charged. There is also an HDMI port and a power connector.

As far as the keyboard is concerned, the Acer Swift 3 SF314-42 has been equipped with a backlit chiclet keyboard. The flat and smooth keys offer a short drop with a rather clear pressure point. There is also an acceptable level of resistance in the keys. However, the keyboard gives way a little while typing, but not to an excessive extent. The single-stage backlight can be controlled using a function key. As for the touchpad, it is multi-touch and occupies a rather large space, thus offering plenty of room for performing gesture controls. The touchpad has a smooth finish, which makes it quite easy to glide across its surface. Overall, the Acer Swift 3 SF314-42 deserves a user’s consideration due to its excellent features. But again, the choice of owning one is rather subjective, depending on the individual’s need and choice.

The Acer Swift 3 AMD Ryzen 4500U is a solid productivity laptop. It has a good build quality, it’s really light, and the performance is good for this type of laptop. I’m personally amazed that the battery life is great on this, and I am now true believer than you can have good battery life even with AMD Ryzen laptops.

80% Acer Swift 3 SF314-57 and SF314-42 (2020) review: Strikes a fine balance between power and price
Source: Expert Reviews English

At £850 (or £800), the Acer Swift 3 is positioned quite neatly between the luxurious ultraportables of Dell and Microsoft and the tempting affordability of Honor’s MagicBook 14. It’s a strong performer in most areas, whether you choose the Intel or AMD model, and the display (only on the Intel model, mind) is impressive, too. There are a few things holding it back from an unqualified recommendation, though. The battery life isn't great; this simply isn't an all-day, take-it-anywhere work unit. There’s also that rather weak audio and generally uninspiring design. So what do you buy, if not this? The £549 Honor MagicBook 14 is the obvious choice so long as you don’t mind the display’s poor colour accuracy. And, if money is less of an issue, then you can’t go wrong with the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 the Dell XPS 13 (2020) or perhaps the Honor MagicBook Pro at £850, which has a much nicer 16in display and superior all-round build quality.

86.5% Acer Swift 3 SF314-42 Laptop Review: Fast, slim and with good battery life - The Ryzen subnotebook is almost completely convincing | Notebookcheck
Acer's new 14-inch laptop has AMD's brand-new Ryzen 7 4700U APU on board, which lacks neither CPU nor GPU performance. Good battery life has not been compromised on despite the machine's large computing power, though. The new Swift 3 is well-equipped in other areas too, with Acer including an NVMe SSD, a matte IPS screen, a backlit keyboard and dual-channel RAM.

If you’re looking for something with a brighter, more colorful display and some powerful speakers, you might want to check out the HP Envy 13, which runs for $799. Otherwise, this Acer Swift 3 review shows that it can provide you with a great laptop experience, and it would be especially good for those who are looking to use this more for work and school.

The Acer Swift 3 offers amazing performance (for its price of $649), with its AMD Ryzen 7 4700U CPU, long battery life and a lightweight chassis. However, the display isn't as bright as it should be and its speakers could use more pep as well.

60% Acer Swift 3 (2020) review: Stunning speed, mediocre elsewhere
Source: It Pro English

Archive.org version
The bloatware and the missing features are symptomatic of the Swift, which is mediocre in several areas – the screen, build quality and design are all underwhelming, and the keyboard and battery are middling. All of these issues could be rectified if you’re willing to spend a little more or sacrifice some CPU power. In a handful of areas, the Lenovo and Honor machines are better than the Acer without costing much more.

To sum up, with the Acer Swift 3’s slim and lightweight build, good performance for its class, a nice set of I/Os, and decent battery life, this can be considered a great device for school or professional use and entertainment as well. You might not be able to play a lot of AAA games on it in high frame rates, but it has enough power to take on your daily tasks. Acer is yet to announce the local SRP of this model, but we’ll let you know once we have the information.

Source: CNet English

Archive.org version
The 14-inch Acer Swift 3 is powered by AMD's Ryzen 4000 series mobile processors. This might not mean much to you unless you follow the world of mobile processors, but basically these AMD chips are faster than the competing Intel CPUs that rule the market -- and they cost less. That means models like the Swift 3 stay affordable but get you the processor performance of a pricier laptop.

Of course, at such a budget-friendly price, you’ll have to sacrifice something. And with the Swift 3, display brightness and color reproduction isn’t its strong suit. But if you’re a homebody who spends most of your time indoors, brightness it’s not going to be much of an issue. However, if you’re finicky about having a brilliant display with high color reproduction capabilities, you’ll want to skip the Swift 3 and opt for the HP Envy 13, which is within the same price range.

Acer has been a great partner for AMD, and the new Swift 3 punches well above its weight. It is easy to be distracted by some of the top-end notebooks on the market, but if your budget is not quite there, you get a lot of the same qualities, but at a price that is very reasonable.

Acer Swift 3 (SF314-42) review – AMD is definitely a viable choice
Source: Laptop Media English

Archive.org version
Yep, this is one of the sacrifices, with the other being the speakers, which are not too bad, to be honest, but they are nothing spectacular either. And if you care for Thunderbolt connectivity, you’d better go for the Intel models. You also, won’t be getting an SD card reader, but the I/O is wide enough to incorporate a dongle. Also, the USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port supports speeds of up to 10Gbps, which is more than enough for data transfers and a DisplayPort output.

Not a new name but certainly the contents are a lot more powerful than the unit I reviewed three years ago. This is a light Notebook that is powerful at the same time; it can happily show a presentation onto an external HDMI panel so ideal for those that travel around.

Review – Acer Swift 3 SF314-59
Source: NLT English

The closest competition I can come up with is probably the ASUS VivoBook K413 for the i5 model and the MSI Modern 14 for the i7 model. They are slightly more expensive presumably because of the included dedicated GPU. Worth mentioning is that the Swift 3 and the VivoBook K413 will come included with Microsoft Office Home and Student license so that should bring up the value of them.

Acer managed to squeeze a powerful Tiger Lake implementation into an affordable product here, and as a result, this Swift 3 SF314-59 performs very well in all kinds of tasks, including demanding loads and games. The affordable pricing, sturdy build quality, good IO, and fine display are also on its side, but the high thermals, poor audio, and shabby typing experience might steer some of you away, if the final product ends-up the same as this review unit test here.

80% Acer Swift 3 review
Source: Laptop Mag English

The Acer Swift 3 isn’t a game-changer. Its design is nice with some cool chrome accents that give a touch of flair. You will get decent performance out of the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU and solid rendering from the Intel Iris Xe GPU, but it won’t blow you away. Starting at just $729.99, you can get a solid, budget-friendly ultra-thin laptop and travel partner that won’t slow you down. However, if you max it out, you will push close to $1,000, which is fair pricing for the specs and performance you get.

Acer Swift 3 (SF314-59) review – ordinary doesn’t mean boring
Source: Laptop Media English

Without being too harsh on this laptop, we feel that its biggest perk is that it’s … ordinary. There are no bold design choices, nor extremities. This means you get plenty for a reasonable price. Take its performance for example. No matter if you are mainly using the CPU, or its integrated graphics, you will be satisfied. Sure, your expectations should be on merit with what this notebook has to offer.

This Acer Laptop Is A Nice Work Companion But The Bloatware Needs To Go
Source: Reviewed.com English

It's hard to overstate just how meaningful the Swift 3's size and weight are, and because of that, it makes up for some of its other shortcomings. It’s designed to roll seamlessly into your life and be as unobtrusive as possible and succeeds, making it pleasant to use as a daily carry—and that design is exactly what makes Swift 3 compelling, even when some of its other qualities are less inspiring. It’s not the most powerful notebook on the market, and the configuration options all fall into the middle tier of performance. But for productivity, that’s fine. Core apps, like Word and Google Docs, run seamlessly. Browsing social media, scouring YouTube, and binging Netflix is fast and lag-free. Even light photo editing with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom is within scope. But beyond that, the Swift 3 hits its glass ceiling. The limited I/O also means you may need to invest in a small USB hub to carry with you.

80% Acer Swift 3X Review: How Good Is Intel’s Dedicated GPU?
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English

So, should you buy the Acer Swift 3X when you can get budget gaming laptops with more beefed-up GPU for its asking price? Not quite. The thing this laptop excels at is its portable form factor and display quality, while also being rich in terms of ports. Thus, it is a decent choice for students, or someone learning photo and video creation. But for everyone else, the Iris Xe Max doesn’t add much value. It’s not a gaming beast either and not many apps support its signature feature so far either.

The Acer Swift 3X offers great performance for a £900 slim and light laptop, and appears to come with a cooling system designed with this performance in mind. But a mediocre build quality and underwhelming gaming credentials set it back at this price.

Source: Digit week English

The Acer Swift 3 (SF314-43-R2YY, AMD) is an affordable mainstream laptop that offers amazing performance for its mid-range price. Its main highlights include an AMD Ryzen 5700U CPU, long battery life and a lightweight chassis. However, its display isn’t as bright as it should, and its speakers could definitely use more pep as well. If you’re looking for something with a brighter, a more vibrant and colorful display and some spirited speakers, you might want to check out the HP Envy 13, which runs for around the same price. Otherwise, this Acer Swift 3 SF314-43-R2YY shows that it can provide you with a great laptop experience, and is especially good for those looking to use it more for work and school.

Acer Swift 3 (SF314-511) review – lightweight and pretty powerful
Source: Laptop Media English

If you are in search of a daily driver that has the power to go through your workday without hesitation, then you might have stumbled across an Acer Swift 3. This particular notebook comes in a set of different colors, which is pretty normal, given the age of the target user base. In addition to that, we found it to be incredibly light, both in feel, and actual numbers. Thankfully, there are some features to compliment the looks and feels. First, there is the port selection. In addition to a couple of USB Type-A ports, you get a Thunderbolt 4 connector and an HDMI 2.0 port. So, connecting to two more displays won’t be an issue. Also, this might mean, that you can plug an external graphics card into your device. Speaking of graphics cards, we found it weird that this laptop comes with a Core i5-1135G7, but GPU-Z registers it to have a 96EU version of the Iris Xe Graphics G7, instead of the more crippled 80EU version. Additionally, the memory works in quad-channel mode, delivering a higher bandwidth.

The Acer Swift 3 is a laptop for the masses: It's affordable, solidly built, it handles its performance well, it's highly portable, it has good input devices, and a great display. Instead of a card reader, there's Thunderbolt 4 - what else could you ask for?

100% Acer Swift 3 (2022) review: The best affordable compact laptop
Source: Expert Reviews English

The new Acer Swift 3 is a highly impressive combination of high quality and low price. For under £600, you’re getting a well-made, compact all-metal laptop with a very good display and plenty of fringe benefits like a fingerprint reader, a backlit keyboard and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. Add to that class-leading battery life and you have a proposition that’s very hard to argue with. Even with the competition now available with considerable discounts the Acer Swift 3 is still the cheapest option for anyone wanting a good quality compact laptop and, in these straightened times, that is becoming increasingly important to an increasing number of buyers.

86% Acer Swift 3 SF314 in review: No flight of fancy for the AMD laptop | Notebookcheck
AMD-equipped subnotebooks are often more powerful than corresponding Intel variants today. We take a look at the Acer Swift 3, the current entry-level model with a Ryzen 5 5500U and an integrated graphics card. The processor seems like a good choice but is it also convincing in practice?

90% Acer Swift 3 (2021) Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English

The Acer Swift 3 is a brilliant mid-range laptop that performs well for the price. It has a well-built design, features a beefy Ryzen 5500U processor and a rather quick 1TB SSD underneath that should make day-to-day working a breeze. Just watch out for the patchy keyboard backlight and uninspiring looks in comparison to the competition.

90% Acer Swift 3 SF314-512 Review: a decent and inexpensive office solution
Source: Root Nation English

The Acer Swift 3 SF314-512 is a great portable work tool for studying, working, and just living. It’s a great model for students, freelancers, those who work remotely, on the go, or periodically change locations: from office to home, from home to coworking, etc. With a nice design and metal body, the laptop weighs only 1.25 kg and doesn’t take up much space in a bag or backpack, so it’s perfect for being always at hand. Thanks to the fact that Acer Swift 3 is powered by 12th-generation Intel processors, its performance is on top and with a considerable margin. In addition, the laptop should be praised for a good set of connectors, including Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6E support, a nice display, good battery life, fast charging, and, of course, an affordable price. Yes, this is not an option for toys, but it is a very decent solution for work issues. The Acer Swift 3 SF314-512 is a great portable work tool for studying, working, and just living.

[REVIEW] Acer Swift 3 (SF314-512) - A big win for Acer
Source: Laptop Media English

The Swift 3 is undoubtedly one of the best Alder Lake laptops that we’ve seen. It has a good design and a fully aluminum build. Acer has also included a great display and a lot of performance while maximizing battery life. The only caveat about it is the input devices, but it feels like a decent sacrifice, considering the rest of the package that you’re getting.

Much like in the past years and from what I can tell based on my time with this sample, the 2022 Swift 3 14-inch looks like a solid compact and lightweight laptop for school and work and general everyday activities, an option for those of your looking for value for your money in a simple and well-balanced product. It’s still priced competitively, yet that’s no longer an advantage over the competition, with many other similar options now available in the sub $1000 space. Instead, the carefree design with good inputs and IO and without any significant deal-breakers, alongside the balanced performance/thermals/noise proposition, are the major selling points of this generation. At the same time, the overall looks, the battery life with the 56 Wh battery, the audio quality, and the screen quality with the 300-nits IPS matte panel as the single available option, might not be up to your demands, as some of those competing devices offer more now in these areas. All in all, even when accounting for all these aspects, I still feel this is surely worth considering in your decision...

Hands-on with the new Acer Swift 3 laptop for 2022
Source: XDA Developers English

All in all, the Acer Swift 3 (2022) definitely looks like a promising laptop, though it remains to be seen if it’s one of the best laptops this year. There aren’t any major changes in terms of design compared to last year’s model, but the ones we get are definitely good. I appreciate the cleaner look of having the fingerprint reader built into the power button and the upgraded webcam, and the new processors promise a lot more performance. Of course, we’ll have to reserve our judgement on that until we have the final product, but we’re optimistic.

70% Acer Swift 3 (2022) review: a solid system for the price
Source: Digital Trends English

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.

Lads and lasses, we got ourselves a pretty solid little Acer here. The Swift 3 OLED (SF314-71) is a tiny powerhouse, which does a very good job for tasks such as photo-editing, and why not video editing too, with Intel’s latest efforts with Adobe. So, what is the main use scenario for this laptop? Well, creators like photo editors will be pretty happy, as we said. Plus, the 14-hour Web-browsing battery life is pretty impressive if you ask us. Considering the powerful processor inside. For the next model, we would love to see better cooling, and if it’s not too much to ask – a dedicated GPU.

The Acer Swift 3 is an OLED ultraportable that’s best for media creators who will make use of its high-powered Core i7 H-series processor. For general use, you will get better battery life and a thinner design from an OLED ultraportable with a U-series chip, such as the HP Elite Dragonfly G3. The AMD-based Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon is also another option for a sleek, long-running OLED ultraportable. If you are willing to trade longevity for greater multimedia capabilities, then there’s lots to like about the Swift 3, from its roomy, gorgeous 14-inch OLED display to its sturdy, all-aluminum frame.

100% Acer Swift 3 OLED (2022, SF314-71) review: A portable laptop powerhouse
Source: Expert Reviews English

The latest Swift 3 has all the strengths that have made it a perennial favourite here at Expert Reviews, but now it has the added appeal of Alder Lake power and a cracking 2.8K OLED display. Battery life has taken a hit, but the new chip and display were always going to have that effect. The new model is naturally more expensive than the old one but that too was to be expected. Is it still our favourite machine in this class? That’s a tough question to answer because the new Pavilion Plus 14 is very strong competition. It all comes down to the question “Do you want a discrete GPU”? If you do, buy the HP, if you don’t, I would lean towards the Acer. Both are very fine laptops.

60% Acer Swift 3 OLED review: a great package with one thing missing
Source: The Verge English

The case for the Acer Swift 3 is: It is one of the most powerful laptops, with one of the best screens you can get, available in the $1,200 range. With a portable build, it can be a great choice for both multimedia viewing and demanding work on the go. This has the potential to be a very unique and effective device. It’s just a shame how much the short battery life weakens that case, because there’s absolutely an audience for a powerful 14-inch laptop with a great screen. I understand that some shoppers — even those shopping in the 14-inch category — don’t care about battery life. That, to me, doesn’t mean it’s acceptable for companies to ask such large compromises of their buyers. I don’t completely blame Acer for this, as it’s been a consistent issue with Intel devices over the past year. But this is a poor result even among those products, and the corresponding extra power the H-series chip brings over the P-series (which is identical in architecture) is not as valuable for an ultraportable as it would be for a bigger workstation. And media creators who are wed to Windows can expect a much longer lifespan out of all kinds of portable OLED devices — the Dell XPS 13 Plus, for example, and various members of Asus’ Zenbook line — without a massive compromise on performance.

As you might guess from the name, the Acer Swift 3 OLED 14” laptop has an OLED display. That’s a welcome feature in a mid-priced laptop, as is the 45 watt Intel 12th gen processor that’s more commonly found on mobile workstations and gaming laptops. The Acer is an aluminum clad Ultrabook-sized laptop that’s an easy carry. The 90Hz OLED display is 2.8K resolution, and you can get the PC with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. It starts at $900 list.

90% Acer Swift 3 OLED (2022)
Source: Techradar English

The Acer Swift 3 OLED is a follow-up to one of the finest laptops ever made, the Acer Swift 3, as well as the Acer Swift 5 touchscreen. However, not a touchscreen like the others, this laptop's main draw is its bright and absolutely stunning OLED screen which also supports HDR. Unlike many of the best Ultrabooks, this one is priced exceptionally reasonably, with its most expensive model only $1,300 (around £1,065 / AU$1,815). Currently, though, its availability is very rough, with it being sold out at the limited retailers that had it in the US and nonexistent in other regions like the UK and Australia. Hopefully, it comes back in stock soon as it’s a gorgeous laptop with a sleek and sexy silver chassis, beautiful backlighting on the keyboard that makes it looks almost crystal-like, and a smooth and responsive touchpad. It’s also incredibly thin and lightweight at only three pounds, ideal for portability. It’s genuinely shocking how easy it is to carry this laptop around.

Acer Swift 3 OLED (2022) Review
Source: Reviewed.com English

Acer’s Swift 3 OLED is not the flashiest productivity laptop around, but it has a ton of performance thanks to Acer’s smart decision to outfit one of its most popular laptops with an H-series Intel processor instead of a P-series. The OLED display’s excellent color accuracy and wide color gamut make the Swift 3 a surprisingly good machine for light photo and video work, even some 3D image rendering. However, its Achilles heel is not its design or even its audio, but its battery life. Crashing just before the six-hour mark means you will need to carry the adapter with you if you leave your house with anything less than a full charge. You can avoid this by looking for another laptop with an Intel P-series processor or an AMD Ryzen U-series processor, but you’ll have to be fine with a slower laptop. If speed is not something you can compromise on, but you’re working with less than $1,000, consider grabbing the base model of the Swift 3 OLED with the Intel Core i5-12500H. It’s slower but less-power-hungry, so you’ll get a little more battery life out of the laptop

70% Acer Swift 3 OLED review: an OLED laptop under $1,000
Source: Digital Trends English

In the end, there’s much to like about the Swift 3 OLED. It leverages its faster CPU, unlike some other 14-inch machines, and its OLED display is as good as it gets. Its build quality is solid for a midrange machine, although not the best in its class, and its connectivity and keyboard are excellent. The touchpad’s too small and the battery life is too short, which are the laptop’s two most significant weaknesses. But even so, it competes well against the two most pertinent alternatives in the HP Pavilion Plus 14, which is available in one configuration for around $400 less, and the Asus Vivobook S 14X, which is closer in price. And you’re only paying $100 more compared to the non-OLED Swift 3, which makes the OLED version a relative bargain. The Swift 3 OLED’s price might be a smidge too high, but it’s mostly justified. So, should you buy it? Yes, if faster performance to go with the spectacular display is your objective. You’ll suffer in battery life, but outside of the one incredibly low-cost HP Pavilion Plus 14 configuration, the Swift 3 OLED provides a compelling enough value to belong on anyone’s shortlist.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

4.6 kg:

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.

79.88%: 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.
