PCMark 10 Battery Life: 7 hours and 25 minutesīattery Life (Techradar movie test): 7 hours and 06 minutesĪfter running the Acer Swift 3 through a suite of benchmark tests for its CPU, GPU, and battery, we're pleased to say that there's a measurable improvement over last years model. GeekBench 5 Multi-core: 3164 Single Core 1113 Here’s how the Acer Swift 3 (2020) performed in our suite of benchmark tests:ģDMark: Sky Diver: 6054 Fire Strike: 1614 Time Spy: 530Ĭinebench R20 Multi-core: 1140 Single Core: 395 Neither are good enough for Twitch streaming, professional YouTube broadcasting, or anything along those lines but they are more than adequate for teleconferencing through Zoom or similar for work purposes. In fact, having two application windows open side-by-side on screen was absolutely doable with minimal horizontal-scroll on Chrome or Microsoft Word.Īs for the webcam and built-in mic, both are functional, if modest. The total screen real estate feels appropriate for the overall size of the laptop so it never gets to feeling like things are more cramped than they should be for a 14-inch display. The bottom bezel is the largest but it isn't awful. The bezels along the sides and top aren't the thinnest available right now, but they aren't the thickest either.

The display's color profile doesn't stand out necessarily, but it feels like it at least meets the standard of a modern 1080p display. Several hours of HD streaming movies looked excellent bright enough in all but the most direct sunlight.

The Swift 3 features a 14-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display that isn't the crispest on the market, but which is more than enough for most purposes. There's no SD card reader or optical drive, but that's pretty typical of an Ultrabook nowadays.

It also handled itself pretty well in a few PC gaming sessions of Stellaris and Civilization VI, but anything more than that will need a separate mouse or gamepad.Īs for ports, Acer loaded up 2020's Swift 3 with a USB 2.0, a USB 3.0, and a USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port to go along with an HDMI port and headphone/mic jack. The trackpad is a good size and responds well during everyday, general use. While some might find the keyboard to be a bit cramped, the keys are spaced well for a laptop of its size and the black keys are backlit with soft white LEDs for better visibility. Speaking of opening it up, the island-style keyboard features responsive, chicklet keys and a Windows Hello-enabled fingerprint scanner. While not in any way recommended as a test to run on your own machine, its good to know that there's a chance that the Acer Swift 3 will survive in the real world. In fact, once our cat got bored with the box and decided to investigate the power cable, she brought the open, running laptop down off a three and a half foot tall desk onto a hardwood floor and bolted, leaving no visible or noticeable damage to the exterior or the internals of the laptop.

The Swift 3 measures in at 12.6 x 8.5 x 0.6 inches and weighs 2.7 pounds, making the device incredibly portable without feeling flimsy. Needless to say, you will have to supply the personality yourself. The matte-silver finish with polished Acer logo on the back is about as flashy as the laptop gets, and – for some – that's exactly what they're looking for. Definitely taking a cue from the Apple MacBook Air, the thin, lightweight aluminum chassis should feel familiar to anyone acquainted with earlier Acer Swift 3 models.

Acer continued its minimalist design aesthetic with this year's Acer Swift 3.
