Acer Swift 3 (2020)

A cheap ultrabook that punches above it's weight

Screen: 13.5 or 14-inch | CPU: 10th gen Intel Core i3 - i7, AMD Ryzen 5 - 7 | Graphics: Intel UHD - Intel Iris Plus, AMD onboard | RAM: 8GB - 16GB | Storage: 256GB - 1TB

Weights just 2.7 pounds
Higher resolution display
Dropping in price
10th generation processing

For entry-level models, baseline specs and prices differ depending on your location. If you're in the US you've got the advantage of being able to get your hands on a new Ryzen equipped Swift 3 which retails for $629.99. This AMD variant contains a 4th gen Ryzen 5 4500U - which comes complete with its own integrated graphics and clocks in at an impressive 2.30 GHz on each of its 6 cores. If you're in the UK, then the baseline models have a 10th gen Intel Core i3 and retail for £599, which is just about the cheapest all-aluminum chassis ultrabook you'll find anywhere.

The mid-range flagship 10th gen Intel Core i5 models retail for $699 / £699 currently, and features integrated Intel UHD graphics, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD - which is a nice bonus that sets you back a serious premium on the Swift 3's competitors. For comparison's sake, a new MacBook Pro 13 with similar specs will currently set you back around $1,499, while a new Dell XPS will cost around $1,099, so you're definitely getting some value right here.

Build-wise, the Acer Swift 3 features an all-metal chassis that tapers to a slightly wider point at the rear. You'd think this means extra weight, but the new Swift weighs in at just 2.7 pounds, which is MacBook Air territory. It's also fairly discreet looks-wise, which is a welcome addition for a consumer laptop that's got such a wide range of applications.

Our recent Acer Swift 3 review gave this little ultrabook a glowing appraisal. We especially liked how lightweight it was, as well as the value on offer considering its performance and premium build quality. 

Acer Swift 3 alternatives

The ultrabook toting audience that the Acer Swift 3 is firmly gunning for actually has quite a few alternatives, although most of them don't offer quite as good value for money as the Swift 3. 

At the higher end of the price spectrum are the amazing Dell XPS 13 and latest HP Spectre x360, which feature similar specs to the Acer Swift 3 on their baseline models, but have much better screens. This comes at a much higher premium though, as the price comparison just below will attest to.

Closer to the price range of the Acer Swift 3 is the Lenovo IdeaPad range and the latest Asus Zenbook's, which generally retail for around the same price points as the Swift 3. Depending on what's on sale over at Amazon and other big retailers, both these laptops can offer an attractive alternative to the Swift 3, but keep an eye out and pay close attention to specs like their processors and SSDs. 

If they are 8th gen Intel processors or earlier, then it's a dead giveaway that these aren't the latest ultrabooks on the market. Similarly, manufacturers tend to try and save a little bit of cash by putting in a 256GB SSD instead of a 512GB, which you can pick up for fairly cheap on an Acer Swift 3.

If you want to go even cheaper, then we recommend heading over to our best cheap laptop deals page, where you'll find a well researched list of excellent options for under $600 / £600.

  • Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti GPU could be coming to supercharge gaming laptops

    Nvidia could be readying an RTX 3080 Ti laptop graphics card if the rumor mill is to be believed.

    Speculation about higher-end notebook GPUs from Nvidia has been flying around for quite some time now, although previous leaks from a few months or so back pointed to the possibility of an RTX 3080 Super model (plus 3070 Super for that matter).

    This fresh spillage has pinned the Ti label, rather than Super branding, on the purportedly incoming RTX 3080 variant, with the theory being that this product will be based on Nvidia’s GA103 GPU (GN20-E8), as noted in a tweet from Matthew Smith which VideoCardz spotted (Smith is the keeper of TechPowerUp’s GPU database).

    See more

    The leak, as VideoCardz explains, actually originates from somebody posting on a PCI Device ID database with the handle ‘Faintsnow’ who is presumed to work for a graphics card maker. Faintsnow added the details of the GPU and confirmed that it’ll be the ‘GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU’ when questioned on what Nvidia’s name for this graphics solution would be.

    No other details are provided here, so the info imparted is admittedly thin on the ground.


    Analysis: Some kind of high-end laptop GPU inbound for early 2022?

    Obviously, we need to keep a healthy sense of skepticism about the veracity of this, as that original source is a murky one, really.

    That said, this is a rumor which has been kicking around for a while, and it does seem a likely move for Nvidia to release a laptop GPU with more oomph in the near-ish future – previously the grapevine has held that this mobile graphics card (or cards) could be unveiled early in 2022. Meaning we might be looking at a CES launch in January 2022, and if that is the case, we’d expect to be hearing a lot more from the rumor mill on this GPU in short order.

    There has been some controversy in the past about whether the supposed RTX 3080 Ti or Super might step up from the GA104 employed in the notebook RTX 3080 card to use the GA103 as indicated here, because as you may recall regular rumor peddler Kopite7kimi – who first spilled the goods on the GA103 laptop chip – said at one point that it was quite likely canceled.

    Kopite7kimi chimed in with this latest leak, as well, speculating that maybe this new discovery could even be an RTX 3090 mobile, not a 3080 Ti. On the naming front, it should be noted that Nvidia has never used the Ti suffix for a mobile GPU, so there’s that to bear in mind too when it comes to the name guessing game.

    Whatever it ends up being called, the possibility that Nvidia still has a more powerful high-end laptop GPU in the wings, waiting to step up and become the new flagship for Ampere in gaming notebooks, is definitely still alive.
