Acer Swift 3 16 Laptop Review: Affordable And Capable
Source: Hot Hardware
While you can enjoy casual gaming on the Swift 3 16, do not expect to be playing many GPU-intensive games on this particular machine without the aid of a cloud gaming service like GeForce NOW, for example. If you are the type of gamer that enjoys games like Minecraft, then you should be fine. Just keep in mind that this is not a gaming laptop as it utilizes Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics versus a discrete GPU. The Acer Swift 3 that we tested is a nice, affordable option for anyone who needs a dependable laptop for working from home, taking online classes, or simply a well-built laptop for travel. It is more than capable of multitasking, such as streaming some YouTube or Netflix while either editing Word documents or smashing out that 5 page essay. This is a light, sturdy laptop with a quality keyboard that is well-suited for mainstream mobile computing needs. Its all metal frame gives it a premium feel despite its approachable price point. Starting at $999, Acer offers a solid, well-built machine in the new Swift 3, with good horsepower for a myriad of mainstream use cases.

Overall, the Acer Swift 3 isn’t an impressive laptop, but it’s good for people who need something that runs well and has a large display. If you’re not a fan of the shorter battery life and the meh keyboard, you may want to look at competitors of its ilk. The Aero 13 offers an excellent keyboard, a bright display and amazing battery life. However, the 13-inch screen isn’t very big compared with the Swift 3. If you’re dying for a large display, the Acer Swift 3 is probably one of the better laptops to get on a budget, but it’s not the best.

The Acer Swift 3 may not have been our favorite ultraportable machine when we looked at the smaller version a few months ago, but as a 16-inch machine in the latest refresh, it works really well. The H-series 11th Generation Intel processor gives the Swift 3 a much-needed performance boost. Couple that with excellent battery life, and you have a very capable productivity machine. However, if you're looking to squeeze some more performance from your 16-inch machine for about the same price, we'd recommend grabbing our Editor's Choice pick, the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus, which will net you a GeForce RTX 30-series GPU, as well as a peppy H-series processor and even better battery life.
