Review on Acer Swift 3 SF314-42-R6T7 14-inch Laptop with Ryzen 5 4500U by Ron Thomas

RAM cannot be updated. Do not confuse with similar models. SF314 is a wide range. You'll need the exact model number to google it. The CPU showed up as 6 cores. Maybe there are 3 with 2 threads each. I've seen on Revain that it's sometimes listed with 2 cores. Definitely has more than that! The NVMe that came with mine was pretty sad for NVMe. I didn't even compare it. You can watch it. This is hynix hfm512gdjtni-82a0a. There is no free slot for a 2.5 inch drive. Only 1 m.2/NVMe slot. games. I tested for flutter development. On Linux you need a swap disk. I left it off on my last laptop because I could add more RAM. or not easily accessible). So at least Dual Channel LPDDR. Can work for games. Which you can run on a new processor without a graphics card. I recommend this to anyone who wants a reliable Windows 10 laptop that can use apps but mostly runs in a web browser. Ideally, a person who has data in the cloud or on a flash drive and game files on the hard drive. Processor but not amazing Update (Day 3) It doesn't work well with Ubuntu 20. It doesn't go to sleep when I close the lid. I checked it three times. The microphone will be muted. I amplified the signal. Still calm. Touchpad gets stuck in scroll mode. I switched apps and then switched back. It set him back, but it's only a matter of time before it happens again. My external display is not recognized. The screen brightness doesn't change no matter what I try. Years. So strange. Rating to 3 stars. Update (Day 5-6) Apparently if I close the lid now my OS will eventually go to sleep. But it won't turn back on. So I might as well turn it off before leaving it for a long time. It works until suddenly everything freezes. The keyboard backlight doesn't even respond at the moment. I have to press the power button for a few seconds to force restart. This usually works without problems. The third or fourth time I've had to do this, one of my git repositories got corrupted. Luckily I religiously support (and promote my code) but still. If it is corrupted, what other files are corrupted? Rating to 2 stars. After buying another laptop (THINKPAD this time), upgrade with this latest processor. It also has issues with dedicated function keys and screen brightness. So strange. I think it's 3 stars for its class?
