The practical use of the Acer Swift 7 SF714-52T turns out to be limited
Acer Swift 7 SF714-52T Review: Slim and light subnotebook for a thick wallet
The slim and light Acer Swift 7 SF714-52T scores with an IPS touchscreen display, 16 GB of working memory (dual-channel mode) and silent operation. This is accompanied by a good battery life and two Thunderbolt-3 ports. For the whole package, you have to put almost 2000 Euros (~$2226) on the table.
The Acer Swift 7 SF714-52T brings less than one kilogram to the scale and is thus one of the lightest 14-inch notebooks available. In order to manufacture a device that is as slim as possible, Acer foregoes the fan, using a passively cooled CPU instead. The case of the Swift 7 does not show any faulty workmanship at all. However, there is a lack in terms of the stability, which is the price of the light build.
The passively cooled CPU is the Core-i7-8500Y dual-core processor, whose computing performance is sufficient for applications from the office and Internet areas. Thus the notebook can mainly be used for writing and surfing, and users who need a lot of computing performance would be looking at the wrong place with the Swift 7.

What started as a side job during my computer science studies later became my main job: For more than 20 years now I have been working as an editor and author in the IT sector. While working in the print sector I also contributed to the creation of various loose-leaf publications and published original written pieces. I have been working for Notebookcheck since 2012.

Having worked as a programmer for 20 years (medical devices, AI, data management systems), I've been following the computer scene for many years and especially enjoy finding out about new technology advances. Originally from Germany but living in the US, I've been working as a translator more recently, with Notebookcheck allowing me to combine my interest in new devices and translation. Other interests include Buddhism, spending time in Tibetan monasteries, and translating ancient Tibetan texts.
