AcerSwift 3 Thin & Light Laptop, 14" Full HD IPS, AMD Ryzen 7 4700U Octa-Core with Radeon Graphics, 8GB LPDDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Backlit KB, Fingerprint Reader, Alexa Built-in, SF314-42-R9YN

Great laptop, especially for the price. The performance is amazing and it does everything most people would need. Even playing older games is very smooth and playable. The screen isn’t dim in my opinion but it’s also not so bright. My only wish would be for it to be a little brighter. But it’s not a deal breaker at all. If you’ve been considering this laptop, I highly recommend it. It’s very hard to find a better deal for the money, especially if you get it on sale.

Perfect for surfing, editing google docs, streaming content.

Absolutely in love with this. Also super impressed at what budget laptops can deliver now. The screen isn't as bad as they say it is and the bezels are small and pretty. I switched from a MacBook pro and I feel like this is better and I paid half of what I did for the pro. This is an early review. Hope it stays as good. And man the processor is snappy!, WIFI6 is also life saving. Bang for the buck indeed.*Note: This is a budget laptop, you aren't gonna get a 4k panel and a fantastic mechanical keyboard. But this is almost perfect in every way possible. Cheers to acer! Not a huge windows fan though, I hope windows 11 gets better.*A day later. literally one day later.My bezels have lost its glue, started coming off and all that. feels like trash. i heard a pop when i opened it today to study and lo and behold glue is unstuck for some reason.The laptop works smoooooth and runs games too for this low price. but man the quality is so bad.Coming from a macbook pro and lenovo i7 gaming laptop, the laptop is blazing fast. But it'll barely last me a year. I'll be returning this product.5 stars for the AMD ryzen 4700u, 0 stars for ACER.if you want your laptop to last. dont go for this.

It’s a wonderful device

Cumple con sus especificaciones, es rápida y elegante, claro al día de hoy ya tienen más capacidades las Laptop pero esta por las especificaciones qué ofrece, para tareas basicas escuela y demás, cumple muy bien. Saludos

Choosing a laptop is very dependent on what you want to use it for. This Acer Swift 3 w/ Ryzen 4700U is near perfect for what I use it for and I think > 90% of people will think the same thing about it. I've had it for about 4 months now.My use: Chrome(Online elearning assignments, youtube, google calendar, gmail) Microsoft Word, Microsoft teams, reading textbooks with pdf viewer, spotify on in the background.Some things I love:- Boot time: NVMe storage is no joke, power button to lock screen in less than 8 seconds. Most of this time is firmware, Windows 10 seriously loads up within 2 seconds. This alone adds a ton of convenience.- Weight/portablility: I'm a college student, I skateboard around campus with this in my bag. It's light and thin but not flimsy. I wouldn't want it any bigger or any smaller.- Specs: This machine is great for light gaming. I hardly use it for gaming because I'd rather play on my desktop with 144hz, but I tested out Call of duty WAW zombies and had a comfortable 60-90 fps with most settings on. That alone is pretty unhead of for most APU's. If you want to play Minecraft or some older steam games on this machine go for it, it can definitely handle it. For my actual use though, things load up incredibly quickly and feel responsive which is important if you are using this everyday.- Battery life: Is not astonishing, but pretty good. charger is easy enough to carry around if you are going to use it for more than 5hrs.I wish were better:- charging connector is tiny/ thin and it feels really flimsy connecting and disconnecting. I've had no issues yet, but I feel a little uncomfortable with it.- speakers are quiet. I like to watch some youtube or netflix in bed at the end of the day and with my fan on in the room the speakers are not audible at max volume. I recommend using some headphones or a bluetooth speaker in the room.I watched a video urging me not to buy this laptop before I did. The user begged me to buy these other models that were $200 more expensive with weaker specs because I was going to hate the screen of this one. He was wrong.I included an image of me using this while studying in a bright room with lots of natural light. It was just fine. As long as you are not going to be using this in direct sunlight you will be fine too. If you are using this for professional art purposes and need super accurate colors then maybe this isn't a great option, but if you are most people you will very rarely have an issue with the screen being too dim.After tax this was $710 for me, its a significant purchase and I'm extremely happy with it. I was worried about making the wrong choice, but this was definitely the right one.

شريته بألفين وسبعمائة الجهاز كويس وسريع وسلس اجب الجهاز والله خفيف ومريح ابرمج فيه كثير وذاكر (انصح للناس اللي تبغاه للدراسة بشاشه اكبر شوي اذا تفرق معك) زي ما قلت العيب انك ما تقدر تعرف الرامات لأنها ما تتفك اشوف الجهاز كويس لأي شخص يعرف ان 8 قيقا رام مناسبه او شخص عنده كمبيوتر مكتبي وهذا جهازه الثاني

Very impressed by this laptop. I was wondering if I was going to return it, because of the screen complaints, and even though it's a 6-bit panel, and not 8-bit, I think it's just fine. I watch a lot of YouTube videos, and they look great on it. Brightness I lowered down to around 70 to 80%, so the brightness is fine.Build quality is excellent. This is very light, and yet it feels very premium. Keyboard is fine, except maybe a bit soft. It takes a little getting used to, and I appreciate the backlight.Fingerprint reader is a hit or miss. Most times it works, but sometimes I can't get it to recognize my finger, so I have to type in my password. This is my main complaint, and it's just a minor inconvenience.This thing is quiet. What a powerhouse! I do development work, and I have a lot of browsers windows open, with many tabs that have a lot of content. My concern was the 8GB of RAM not being enough as my desktop has 16GB, but surprised that I loaded up so many browsers (one MS EDGE with two tabs, four Chrome Windows with 20 tabs total) and it handled it just fine. I then ran a YouTube video in another tab, then loaded up Google Maps, then loaded up Google Earth and went into street view, then loaded up another Google Earth, and did a flyby, then played a local video that was encoded in 4K. Then loaded up my programming editor. Even after all that, no matter what program or tab that I went to, there was no lag and everything was smooth and I could not even hear the fans. Sometimes the fans can be heard, but that does not last long. How quiet this machine is under so much load is surprising. I have to place my ear 2 inches above the keyboard to hear the fan most of the time. And the machine never feels hot, just a little warm. Oh yeah, and here's the thing, I did all that workload while I was on battery power, which tends to run in a more power saving mode. Noticed though, I would have gotten about 2 to 3 hours with such a heavy load. With light loads, the battery would last about 8 hours in my estimate with light browsing, or watching YouTube.Tested all the ports, and even got a USB C to DisplayPort cable to run my main monitor at 1440p at 144Hz, and then hooked my 1080p TV to the HDMI, and left the laptop screen on. Three screens at the same time. I ran a video on the TV, and did work on my main monitor with no problems.The USB A port on the left side can charge devices even when the notebook is off.Put it into sleep mode, and checked 15 hours later, and the battery was only down 2%. Far better than my previous Surface Pro 3.AMD "Renoir" APU and Acer have done an incredible job. Awesome value.

Nice and light, fast
