The scores are slightly better than the AMD Ryzen 4000 series ( Lenovo Flex 5) which we reviewed recently and is almost 2x better than the Core i5 10th gen laptops. In the Cinebench benchmark test the Acer Swift 3 scored 4164 points in multi-core and 1312 points in the single-core test. If your usage is primarily for content watching and gaming, things will differ. This will come in handy in the longer run.Īs for my experience, I really enjoyed the screen estate on the Swift 3 given that my work involves writing docs, visiting websites, navigating through multiple chrome tabs, and communicating on Slack. Once you get the machine, we’d recommend you to spend some time initially to set this up first for the apps and websites which you use frequently if not for all. Some apps and websites need to be zoomed in/out to adapt to the 3:2 screen. This also makes the viewing area much smaller.

If you are watching a movie or video, you will have black bars on the top and bottom, which is hard to not notice often. Some of the content can look less than ideal. That said, the display is not perfect - it also has its own cons. The blacks are deep black for an LCD panel. The panel is so good that I didn’t have to connect an external monitor to edit photos. Visuals look very vibrant, crisp and accurate. It also covers 99% of the Adobe sRGB colour space, indicating higher colour accuracy. It is not only light but also very slim which makes it one of the best thin and light laptops around. The laptop is extremely lightweight weighing in at just 1.19 Kilograms. The Acer Swift 3 did not pass our one-handed opening test, you will have to keep one hand on the laptop and open the lid with the other hand. The hinge can go flat up to 180-degrees which makes it easy and comfortable to use on multiple surfaces like table, bed, couch, and more. The hinge comes with Swift branding, and apart from that, you get a couple of stickers on the palm resting area. The bezels are Black in colour while the rest of the laptop including the hinge, keyboard and trackpad come in silver colour. The hinge mechanism is sturdy and it should be good for even long term usage. Even with the thin bezel on top, Acer has managed to pack in an HD webcam. The Acer Swift 3 comes with slim bezels on the sides and top while a fairly bigger bezel at the bottom. The Acer Swift 3 SF313-53 is similar to the SF313-52 model in terms of design and display. The series has always been about the form factor and portability. It is built for the people who are on the go. The Acer Swift series has always been one of the best thin and light offerings from the brand.
