Broken screen
Almost exactly when the 1 year warranty expired, the screen stopped working properly. No knocks or bumps, just shows black on the left side.

disappointing experience
I recently bought the acer swift laptop and after just 7 months of owning the laptop and taking very good care of the product the screen developed a thick black line across the display. I am extremely disappointed in my experience trying this new product. The key pad has also become unresponsive.

Great basic laptop!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter who is 7 is using this. Great resolution. User friendly. And super easy to set up. The OS takes you through a very simple setup process. If you need something affordable and reliable for basic browsing and pictures, this is a great computer!

Great Laptop!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great laptop! It is very thin and super light (at least compared to my previous Acer laptop that I loved and used for many years). The graphics and colors are great, and it is fast enough to watch movies and even play some basic games. The built in microphone carries a good sound which is important especially those days when a big part of life, communication, and work is happening online. The battery life is good and, what's a big deal for me, the recharge is fairly fast. The backlight on the keyboard is cool and the fingerprint reader is a nice feature in my book. If you need a lean mean working machine for programming then this is not it, but for an admin job, everyday use, video watching, internet browsing this is a good investment that you will not regret!

Nice screen and light to carry!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This computer has a nice screen and is light to carry around great for everyday use at the house or on the go! One down side is I wish the fingerprint reader was a bit larger so it could read better as I feel like it stumbles sometimes and could be more efficient. Other than that the speed is great the screen quality is amazing and I’ve loved using it for documenting and surfing the web!

Awesome little laptop!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolute love this laptop! It's smaller than the ones I have owned in the past but the size doesn't take away from the functionality. It is super sleek and light to carry around. I love the lighted keyboard making it easy while using in the dark/darker rooms. It charges very quickly and also keeps a charge for a long time, more than what I have been used to. Being a Intel Core i5 it allows you to allow more processes without causing any performance issues. The laptop is very fast and works great! My kids love the laptop as well and have taken off with it quite a few times to game on it and they say it is great for gaming too! The graphics and color are awesome along with having a fingerprint reader! This laptop has been great for both doing my work on and for the kiddos to play their games on.

Perfect!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this computer in hopes that my parents could use it without issue. They're both terrible with technology. But this laptop was super easy to set up and start for them. It works smoothly, is super lightweight and overall just perfect! Couldn't be happier!

Fast and Lightweight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new computer for work but I am not someone that knows a ton about them. I knew that I wanted something that would be lightweight and easy to take on the go and I definitely found that with this model. I am not use to the power button being in the upper right corner as a button itself on the keypad, but I sort of like it. This computer is very fast and I do have a lot of programs and such on this. I just click and I am there in a matter of a second or two. The screen matches up to the measurements that is in the product description. The keyboard offers a backlit display which is really nice when I am working and I don't want to wake up my kiddo is he zonks out by me. The keyboard is a good size and keys are the normal size which is another plus. Typically with laptops there s a compromise in that area. Keys offer a nice spring bounce to them and do not stick. Colors are rich and vibrant. Battery life for this model is absolutely amazing. The charger when in use does stay cool and has a typical length. When this is running it is very quiet. This is definitely the lightest laptop that I have ever seen as well, As for the fingerprint reader, it is an amazing feature that I needed for security as I have many confidential things that I work on. I could go on and on about this laptop, but I will sum it up as this...If you are in the market for a laptop that offers you good graphics, security options, light, and with good battery life, search no more. Thank you Acer for making something affordable with all the bells and whistles. I have already purchased two more of this model for my college student and my son who games and they love theirs as much as I do.

great laptop
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this Acer Swift 3 Intel Evo Laptop and it works great. It has a 13.5" 2256 x 1504 IPS which has better colors and better viewing angles. You can see by the picture it gives you gorgeous and deep rich colors. It has a Intel Core i5-1135G7 which is a 4 core 8 threaded CPU and with the Intel Iris Xe Graphics. It is very fast and can handle light gaming. It also has 8GB LPDDR4X ram and that works great. It then has 512GB NVMe SSD which is insanely fast and one of the best SSD you can get. I can not believe how fast it really is. The Wi-Fi 6 is the latest and fastest WIFI out there so. It also come with a fingerprint reader which secures your laptop and works really well. I love the back-lit keyboard so you can use it in with out lights on in the room. It has a nice feel to the keyboard when you are using it. It is really light and easy to carry. The hinged on it is nice and heavy duty which i love because that is one thing that you dont have to worry about breaking over time. The pad on it is nice and large and works well when you use the 2 finger scrolling, when you are left or right clicking or when you use it to enlarge or minimize the screen. The battery on it lasts a long time and everyone wants that when you have a laptop because that makes it portable not having to be hooked up to an outlet all the time. I love this laptop. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a fast quality laptop and works well.

Such a great Laptop!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop is amazing! It is portable, easy to use, and has a ton of amazing features. The Evo Intel i5 Processor is fantastic and runs smothly with its 8GB of DDR4X RAM! It is lightning fast with its large 512GB SSD drive and even has access to connect to the faster WiFi 6 networks! This on top of it being very light and portable with a backlit keyboard and a fingerprint scanner makes this the perfect laptop for anyone on the go who needs a solid computer! I would literally recommend the Acer Swift Evo 3 to ANYONE! I love this laptop!

What a Computer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a computer! This thing has a lil the bells and whistles you could need in a laptop. I love how lightweight and compact this laptop is. It's easy to maintain, back and hold on your lap of table. This computer has an amazing graphics card which makes watching videos or an occasional game easy and clear. There's so many good things that I can't wait to get to them all.

Good laptop for the price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good laptop for the price. It is definitely not a top-of-the-line laptop but is sufficient for the average person's daily usage. It is small, light, and compact which is very nice especially if you travel a lot. The storage capacity is nice and more than enough for a normal person. The fingerprint reader is the fastest I have used on a laptop which makes it super simple to login. There are not any major drawbacks to this laptop but there are a few things that I am not a fan of but they are to be expected from the price: the keyboard feels cheap compared to my high-end laptop, the square screen shape is annoying but will get used to it, the screen is very small compared to my bigger laptop but again will get used to that, and there is no discrete GPU so you cannot play video games or do intense CAD very easily - again those are all to be expected with the price but a buyer should be aware. Overall, this is a sold little laptop that is sufficient for the average user but if you are trying to do anything intensive or more than basic apps and functions you will want to spend more on a better laptop.

Great features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop is super light and thin. I like that I can carry it with me easily on the go when I need to. The battery life last about 6 hours when not plugged in. The graphics looks really good on it. The processor is really good. I have played video games and watch TV on it without having any lags. The sound however could be better. I have my sound usually all the way up when I watch my shows because of how quiet the sound is. Also the mic isn't the best I was on a zoom meeting and they said they couldn't hear me very well. All in all good lightweight laptop though.

Excellent quality and speed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My personal laptop died a month or so ago and I was in the market for a replacement. A friend did recommend the Acer brand and so thisbwas my choice. It was a big upgrade in RAM for me, and the difference was incredible. This very lightweight and thin laptop was easy to set up from the start, i had it up and running in leas than 30 minutes. I am able to have many tabs open at once and easily switch between them with no affect on performance. I do not play alot of games, mostly just using to read news, do my shopping etc. And this is perfect. We did sit and watch a movie on it and it played smoothly with no lags. I love how lightweight this is and thin, easy to carry with you and it looks sleek. I am pleased with the quality of materials and workmanship. I absolutely love the Backlit keyboard, a feature I never knew I needed until i had it, and the fingerprint sensor to log in easily and quickly is one of my favorite features.

Amazing Product! Fast and Easy To Use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a fantastic little laptop, with some great performance and so light weight! I was looking for a nice laptop that's small and lightweight. This thing is extremely light and you can carry it around anywhere without needing a bunch of extra cords or covers. It has a fantastic processor that's quick and speedy even with only 8gig of ram. The machine is running Windows 10 Home like a champ and apparently has a free upgrade to Windows 11 when it is official released. I'm really loving the finger printer scanner to log into the computer, so fast and easy and there are some websites allowing you to use your finger to login instead of your password. The laptop is thin, and doesn't have a CD-ROM / DVD Drive in it. It also doesn't have a SD Card reader built in, which is somewhat strange, but it does have some USB "A" ports on the side, as well as a USB-C port you can use for charging. I'm really loving the fact that I can charge my Ipad Pro, Samsung S21, and this Acer Swift 3 using the same USB-C charging block. I updated mine to Windows 10 Pro, and with the 512gb SSD this thing performs perfectly for my remote desktop PC to connect to the office while on the road or on vacation. I would highly recommend the Acer Swift 3!

Great laptop
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little laptop. The size of a Chromebook. Very light and easy to take around. High quality. I wish it was just a tad longer for typing reasons, but a great laptop to carry on the go or use at home. Very durable.

High quality laptop
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an extremely nice and sleek laptop. The overall size is perfect, compact but powerful making it perfect to travel with. Even though the screen is only 13.5", I have found it to be a much more enjoyable screen in many ways. The ratio makes it so that it longer not wider, so it makes reading, working and just scrolling much more enjoyable and easier to see more. The screen picture and graphics are easily the best I have seen. Everything is so bright, detailed and beautiful. The mouse pad is large and responds accurately to touch making it easy and comfortable to use. The fingerprint scanner has consistently worked well and makes logging in simple. Set up was quick and easy with Cortana, which is another great feature. Start up is fast and the system runs smoothly. I have not experienced any lagging. I will say the speakers aren't that great, even turned up to 100, but headphones can fix that. I have owned quite a few laptops in my days, and this one is by far one of the best all around. It is perfect for anything you want to do on a laptop. Battery life is also impressive. I also love the it connects with my phone so I can easily share things between both devices. I am extremely pleased with this laptop and would definitely recommend.
