Review on Acer Swift 5 Ultra-Thin Laptop with 15.6” FHD IPS Touch Display, 8th Gen Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Windows 10 by Carnell Bollwitt

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Light and smooth and much better than fast 3

Have been using it for 2 weeks and have no complaints. Very light and powerful. I uninstalled the antivirus and some other programs that come with it. I think modern computers need 16GB or RAM and this one has that which was a bonus and I think that's one of the reasons it runs smooth and fast. USB-C works really well with my dock, so it's a good desktop too (and yes, USB-C will charge a laptop if your dock supports it). The fingerprint reader was a pleasant surprise, I have a Swift 3 that had a very accurate fingerprint reader that I used to log in to with a password more often than a fingerprint, but it works fine on this laptop too. Similarly, the Swift 3 has had issues with some USBC chargers, but this laptop charges well with most high-power USBC chargers. In general, while the purchase is very satisfied, I recommend.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • So-so
