The updated Acer Swift 3 15.6-inch notebook gets a 4K/UHD option to go along with the MX150 GPU

The Swift 3 comes equipped with an Intel i5-8250U or i7-8550U and up to 16 GB of RAM, although the 14-inch model will have 4 GB soldered onboard and a single empty DIMM slot with an 8 GB stick, so if you care about this then the larger option will be better for you.  The Nvidia MX150 graphics card can handle some light gaming and does a good job in GPU accelerated workloads.

Bezels are only 6.3mm thick, an impressive number but not as slim as the Dell XPS 13 and XPS 15. The 14-inch Swift 3 goes up to FullHD 1920 x 1080, while the 15.6-inch has an optional UHD/4K 3840 x 2160 resolution panel.

Both models have space for a single M.2 solid state drive and a 2.5-inch hard drive bay. Configuration options from the factory go up to 512 GB for the M.2 slot and 1 TB for the 2.5-inch bay. A lower-end Intel Wireless-AC 7265 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.0 module is used for wireless communication. Ports are covered by 1 x USB-C, 2 x USB3, 1 x USB2, 1 x HDMI, and an SD card slot.

The refreshed 14-inch model of the Acer Swift 3 is available now starting at 599 Euros (US$700), while the 15.6-inch version will follow in late May, priced from 799 Euros (US$935) and up.
