Acer Swift 3 SF313 (13.5-inch, 2019)

Excellent keyboard ; Lovely, crisp display ; Top-notch battery life

Performance that's frankly disappointing ; Software utilities need to be reorganized

The Swift 3’s audio capabilities are nothing to write home about, with a pair of downwards-facing TrueHarmony speakers providing low to moderate volume and adequate sound at the midrange and high end. Some Acer Swift laptops that I’ve reviewed are...

Herculean performance ; A beastly multitasker ; Clicky keyboard ; Fingerprint scanner ; Amazing internals for price

Dim display

The Acer Swift 3, armed with a Ryzen 7 4700U CPU, offers mind-blowing performance, but it has a dim display.

modern, slim design ; matte IPS display ; fingerprint scanner ; USB Type-C with DisplayPort support ; LTE module ; good Wi-Fi performance ; backlit keyboard ; fast NVMe SSD ; decent system performance ; runs quietly ; solid battery life

Soldered 8GB RAM, no upgrades ; Tiny, inconvenient keys ; Available in only silver colour

The Acer Swift 3 is a special laptop because it's one of the few thin and light models in the market to feature 4G LTE connectivity along with good performance. That said, I wish it had a better keyboard, clearer sound, and upgradeable RAM.

Goed scherm ; Uitstekende accuduur ; Veel hardware voor je geld

Goedkoop aanvoelende behuizing ; Usb 2.0-aansluiting en ontbrekende kaartlezer ; Niet de snelste

De SF313 valt op door zijn scherm met 3:2-beeldverhouding, dat ook nog eens een prima helderheid blijkt te hebben. Het scherm heeft wel een glanzende afwerking en daar moet je van houden. De laptop biedt bovendien veel waar voor zijn geld met een...
