Acer Swift 1 review: A cheap, lightweight ultra-portable that skimps on performance

 

While the Acer Swift 1 delivers a lot for less than $350—a slim and light chassis, plenty of battery life, an SSD and even a fingerprint reader—it makes painful speed and storage compromises to get there.

Bargain price tag ; Slim, sturdy design ; Built-in fingerprint reader ; Solid battery life

Sluggish performance ; Puny solid-state drive ; Non-backlit keyboard

The Acer Swift 1 is an ultra-portable that hits the sub-$350 price point by making a few hard choices. If you don't mind a puny solid-state drive and average performance, the Acer Swift 1 might be the laptop for you. For anyone else, though, I'd...

Acer made a cheap laptop that looks good and lasts all day long

 

What the Swift 1 lacks in performance it makes up for in battery life, good looks and a low price.

The Acer Swift 1 is a thin, lightweight budget-friendly laptop that has a few higher-end features that make it a more attractive deal than competing systems at its $329 price. Battery life is good at more than 9 hours.

Its low-end components mean it can't do much beyond basics and its limited storage will likely require some external option.

The Swift 1 is cheap, looks nice and has a good battery -- just don't give it anything more difficult to do than web browsing.

Acer Swift 1

 

How much laptop can you get for $329? Acer's Switch 1 is a surprisingly strong answer, a little short on storage but with a slim build and a 1080p IPS screen.

Bargain price. Svelte design. Handsome IPS 1080p screen. Great battery life. USB-C port. Full-sized HDMI port and SD card slot. Windows Hello-compatible fingerprint reader.

64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM. Small, cramped cursor control and arrow keys. Keyboard isn't backlit.

If you haven't noticed, the Acer Swift 1 is something of a landmark—an ultrathin and light mix of productivity and style that costs less than one-third what Apple's still charging for the MacBook Air. (OK, the Air has twice the memory and storage, but...

Acer Swift 1 review

 

A sleek design masks the lack of power

Healthy battery life ; Attractive svelte design ; Good value for money

Unimpressive screen ; Lacks real power ; Weak flash storage

The Acer Swift 1 challenges Chromebook’s dominance of the budget market, but it’s not quite the knockout punch that’s needed.

Acer Swift 1 review

 

Acer's Swift 1 shows not all low-cost laptops need to be thick, clunky or bad on battery life.

The Acer Swift 1 is a thin, lightweight budget-friendly laptop that has a few higher-end features that make it a more attractive deal than competing systems at its $329 price. Battery life is good at more than 9 hours.

Its low-end components mean it can't do much beyond basics and its limited storage will likely require some external option.
