Amd ryzen 7 4700u12/5/2023 ![]() I’m almost certain the Swift 3 smirked at me and said, “That’s all you’ve got?” I challenged the Swift 3’s Ryzen 7 4700Uu processor and 8GB of RAM with 41 Google Chrome tabs, plus two YouTube pages playing 1080p videos. It’s a little too grippy on my fingertips for my tastes (I prefer a smoother surface), but I had no problems using Windows 10 gestures, such as pinch-to-zoom or two-finger swiping to revisit previous pages. The Acer Swift 3 has a wide, silver touchpad that measures 4.2 x 2.6 inches. On the typing test, I reached 90 words per minute, which is slightly higher than my 87-wpm average. There’s also a satisfying, audible click with each keystroke. Overall, I absolutely adored typing on the Acer Swift 3’s island-style keyboard - it’s got springy feedback and I tapped away on the keys as if I’ve used the Swift 3 for years. Touch typists won’t care too much about this, but hunt-and-peck types with poor eyesight may want to steer clear of this keyboard. However, the gray characters may be a little bit difficult to see because the gray lettering against the silver keys doesn’t provide enough contrast. The Acer Swift 3 features two speakers on the bottom of the laptop the audio quality that emanates from the duo is so-so. This beats the category average (0.3), the Swift 3’s Intel model (0.29) and the HP Envy 13 (0.29). The display has a Delta-E color accuracy score of 0.2 (0 is ideal). The HP Envy 13 is the most colorful competitor with a decent 99% sRGB gamut coverage.Ĭolor accuracy on the Swift 3, though, isn’t half bad. The category average crushed the Swift 3’s color coverage (91%). According to our colorimeter, the ultrabook’s screen reproduces just 62% of the sRGB color gamut, which is four percentage points less than the Intel variant (66%). Let’s take a moment of silence for the tragic color coverage of the Swift 3’s display. The Swift 3’s rival, the HP Envy 13, offers a brighter screen with 387 nits of brightness. Both fall short of the category average (285 nits of brightness). With just 251 nits of brightness, the Swift 3’s display lacks brilliance, but its Intel twin is even dimmer with 224 nits of brightness. However, if you’re an outdoorsy person who loves sitting outside on bright and sunny days, you may want to reconsider the Swift 3. But for serious photography, video editing and graphic design? Nah. Overall, it’s a passable, moderately good display for casual video playback and streaming. At such a reasonable price point, it’s expected that the Swift 3 might not have the brightest, crispest and most colorful display.
