At one point, I had five YouTube videos going simultaneously while juggling well over 50 Google Chrome tabs, without showing signs of slow down. This Acer Swift 3, running on the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U processor with 8GB of RAM, provided serious speed for multitasking. However, I preferred the sound with the app turned off, as there was a better balance to the vocals and instruments over the other modes. Its main sound modes are music, gaming, movies and custom audio (where you manually balance treble, vocals and bass). Even with the volume at 100%, the speakers didn’t play any music very loud, which can be chalked up to the Swift 3 being designed with bottom-firing speakers.Īcer includes the DTS Audio Processing app, which provides some sound settings for customization. ![]() However, the vocals sounded so low, almost like someone was covering their mouth while trying to sing to me. While listening to “Hate Me” by Blue October, I noticed that guitars sounded clear and bold, including the bass that came through accurately. The Acer Swift 3 speakers, which are located on the bottom sides of the laptop, provides sound that is simply mediocre. Visually, you might not even notice it's there, were it not for the indentation around it. The lack of contrast would be easier if the keys had more than one backlight brightness option.Īs I navigated Windows 10, I found that the Swift 3's silver 4.2 x 2.6-inch touchpad offers extremely precise scrolling and cursor control. Visually, the keys all blend in with the metallic deck, and it didn’t help that the font of the keys is in a dark gray, which made it blend a bit into all of the grey/silver.

However, it did surpass the Intel version of the Swift 3, which peaked at 224 nits.Īs what may have been expected, the color production wasn’t great for the Acer Swift 3. Considering that the whole movie is supposed to be about art, it’s hard to enjoy when the color is so bland.Īt just 251 nits of brightness, the Acer Swift 3 fell short compared to the 285-nit mainstream laptop average and the 387-nit HP Envy 13. In a scene showing off an urban landscape, the faded appearance of the light and color distracted me from what I was seeing. While watching a trailer for The Broken Heart Gallery, I noted that the picture was very crisp and clear, and it would have been enjoyable to watch, but the dullness of the color really took away from the whole experience.
