Acer Swift 3 Revizuire – Ryzen 8 Laptop core pentru $650!
Build quality is fine, its plastic with a silver finish: nothing amazing, but no sharp corners or edges.. It cant be opened up with one finger, as I guess its, not heavy enough, but the screen goes the full 180 degrees back for sharing., The lid didnt flex too much. But doing this revealed that its fairly easy for the laptop to slide around on a flat surface.. This is partly due to it being on the lighter side, but the feet underneath also didnt feel that grippy. Theres some flex to the keyboard and lid. If you push hard, but it felt sturdy enough during regular use. Acer lists the weight as 1.2kg or 2.6lb, which is close to what I got. With the small 65w power, brick and cables. The total rises to under 1.5kg or 3.3lb. Its less than 1.6cm thick, and the smaller 14 footprint results in just 7mm thin screen bezels. The 14 1080p IPS screen wasnt amazing. I measured colour gamut at 61 de sRGB 44 din NTSC, 46 adobeRGB și 45 de DCI P3. It wasnt as bright as Id like either maxing out at around 266 nits at full. Brightness though the 10801 contrast ratio was decent., I cant recommend it for content creation or colour accurate work, but for office tasks or browsing the web, its fine. No problems with backlight bleed in my unit, but this will vary between panels.. The 720p camera is above the display in the center no IR for face unlock though.
. This is what the camera and microphone look and sound like on the Acer, Swift, 3 and heres. What it sounds like to type on the keyboard.. The keyboard has white backlighting, which illuminates all keys and secondary key functions, though in a lit room. It looks a bit patchy, but it was less of an issue in a darker environment. Acolo, no brightness control. You can only turn it on or off with the F8 shortcut key.. The power button is part of the keyboard and an accidental press puts it straight to sleep, so you might want to change this through the Windows. Power options. Typing was an average experience, nici o problema. There heres how it sounds to give you an idea of what to expect. The precision touchpad clicks down anywhere and works without issue.. I found the fingerprint scanner just below the keyboard on the right to work fast and accurately.. The silver finish prevents fingerprints and dirt, showing up but its easy to clean. In orice caz, due to the smooth surface. Pe stânga, din spate, acolo., the small power input USB 3.2 Gen1 Type C port, which can also be used to charge the laptop instead. Hdmi 2.0 output and USB 3.2 Gen1 Type A port. On the right from the front theres a 3.5mm, Audio, combo jack, USB 2.0 Tip, A port status LEDs and Kensington lock. Acolo, nothing on the back air is instead exhausted below the screen.. The front has an indentation in the center, so you can open the lid.
Underneath just has some air intake vents towards the back. The bottom panel wasnt too hard to remove after taking out 10 Șuruburi cu cap phillips. Inside weve, got the battery taking up the front. Half of the machine single fan and single heatpipe for the Ryzen 7 4700U processor WiFi 6 card in the middle of those and the single M.2 storage slot on the far right memory is soldered to the motherboard, but thats pretty standard for a machine of this size.. There are two speakers on the left and right towards the front. They sounded pretty decent with a little bass, but there was some distortion at higher volume levels and the latencymon results looked good.. The Swift 3 is powered by a 3 Cell 48Wh battery and in my YouTube playback test. It lasted for just under 10 ore, so quite good for the size of the battery.. It was cool to the touch at idle below the usual 30 grade, Celsuis that I typically see. With a CPU, only stress test, running its still quite cool, considering Ive tested other laptops that idle around these temps. Lets have a listen to fan noise.. It sounded silent to me at idle, then its still not loud, even with the fans going at what I assume is full speed during the stress test.. The CPU was averaging around 73 grade Celsius, With Aida64, going with the four default options checked and running at around 2.85GHz on all 8 CPU cores.
. It seemed to be capped to an 18 limita de putere watt. I tried boosting this with Ryzen controller software and, while temperatures rose to 90 grade, the clock speeds were behaving strangely constantly dipping down to 400MHz, but I didnt spend much time trying to tune it. When looking at the Cinebench R20 results, I wasnt seeing a difference with, Or without Ryzen controller anyway., It looks good when compared against other laptops, though keep in mind. Aceasta este o 14 thin and light laptop, its beating, larger, more expensive machines with ease.. Although not a gaming laptop by any means, you can get away with some light. 720P gaming, with the Radeon graphics at lower settings, but dont expect miracles due to lack of discrete graphics., For the same reason, its difficult to recommend for photo or video editing workloads. If the screen wasnt, already enough of a reason. Ive (În), used Crystal Disk Mark to test the storage and the 512gb NVMe M.2 SSD was alright, though the write speed was less than half the read speed. For updated pricing check the links in the description as prices will Change over time. At the time of recording its around 650 USD for the configuration Ive tested here, but theres also, a 4500U model for 50 less.. Între timp,, here in Australia were looking at around 1900 AUD through Acers store, though this one has twice the storage space. Cu toate astea în minte. Lets conclude by considering the good and the bad to help you decide if the Acer Swift 3 is worth buying.
. The price point is nice in terms of the CPU performance on offer, thanks to AMDs Zen2 processors., The performance from a 14 inch machine is far ahead of what was available just one generation ago.. This also allows for great battery life, and the machine is fairly lightweight and portable.. The keyboard and touchpad were fine, though the white lighting wasnt, even in a lit room., The fingerprint scanner was fast and the screen was nothing special, but fine for office work or browsing. The internet indoors. Theres not really any killer features, but for 650 I think youre getting a capable laptop.. Sigur că da., if you need more power with discrete graphics, Acer also have the Nitro 5 jocuri de noroc, laptop though that is bigger, so just depends on what youre after..

Nemaipomenit ?
hey jarrod, for my triton 500 rtx 2060, i7 8th gen model, during warzone temps were hitting 89-90 C for cpu, with clock speeds at 3.3-3.4ghz, i undervolted cpu by -0.140V and reduced the frequency on all cores to 3.6ghz, now im running at a constant 3.6 ghz on cpu and temps are ranging from 77-80C .
Am i doing something wrong in terms of losing performance or is there something i could do better? pls let me know im kinda new to all this tweaking stuff
Naah, it’s just i7. Mine i5-9300H (msi gf65 thin) getting around 69-75*C with 3.5ghz limit + -0.160V. Maybe try to enable cooler boost if you have headphones with ANC (cuz it’ll be like a jet turbine lol)
Watch out for drop bears.
I was waiting for this laptop review ?
Soldered memory damn :/ These should be atleast 16GB in 2020 🙁
There is a 16GB variant.
btw, whats the cost of 15.6 100% sRGB laptop display? Wanted to change one but I’m not sure if it’s worth it~ :S (smth like retina would be amazin, but in 1080p)~
Woah u can change laptop displays?
@Masaya Shida yup, just remove frame and unplug display basically thats it. It’s under 2mins for most of the laptops
Please make a video comparing ALL the laptops with the BEST DISPLAY.. and i DONT mean just the resolution or the refresh rate, but also the COLOURS AND THE BRIGHTNESS AND THE BLACK LEVELS. PLEASSSEEEE. I CANT FIND ANY VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC. PLEASE HELP ?
The upcoming Lenovo Legion Slim 7 (AMD) would be a great product to review.
While the laptop itself is good, it’s just baffling that there still exist displays with < 100% srgb coverage and mediocre brightness. Do people really not care that much about screen quality on a device they use daily?
I assume it won’t matter for people who don’t do design work or any editing work that requires good color accuracy. People who just work with the office suite or Google suite won’t care much
@Masaya Shida Yes, probably. It’s just frustrating that this technology (LCD displays) has existed for over 20 years and has gone nowhere. It’s not like a properly calibrated panel with better colors is considerably more expensive. It’s just the laptop companies being cheap and cutting every corner they can.

The laptop has a metal chassis (aluminium and aluminium magnesium alloy), not a plastic chassis like you said at the beginning
