This video would have saved me so much time if it had come out earlier! Instead I did all the research myself and came to the same conclusion as you.

For use as a secondary PC to my desktop, my main priority was portability, and battery life is a large part of that. I also think I'll run Linux on it so the 4GB RAM (maximum available on this laptop in Australia) is not necessarily a problem.

Light weight was also a priority for me as well as robustness - which is the only area I'm in doubt about with this laptop. I feel like I may need to be somewhat gentle with it.
Just bought the SF114-33 Acer Swift 1 and loving it (sale price $349 CAN), and does come with backlit keyboard and fingerprint ID. Thin, light, and fast enough to run MS Office. Keeping up on my email accounts are the only other necessary tasks for my needs. The 1080 screen and 3 cell battery (14+ hrs charge) are all bonus.
Just bought one for my daughter and was not sure I bought the right laptop. After your good review I feel I made the right buy. Well she is getting it tomorrow. Now I know she will be happy! Thanks!!
I bought my Acer Aspire during my first year of uni 6 years ago. It's still working fine. Not that slow and still doing good but I am watching these videos because sometimes the screen just goes black so just in case I'll need to buy a new one in a hurry, but now the new Aspire ones are almost 250 euros more expensive than 6 years ago while my budget didn't change 😂😂 so I'll probably go for a Swift... I am scared to be disappointed because my Acer Aspire really worked so well for so long 😬
I have to agree with everyone saying this review really is good, and better than most reviews. Well done to the reviewer. And it's sensible too. Other reviewers be like "My god it's 2020 and you're still not supporting USB-C charging! This deserves to be burned". This review: "it would be nice if it charged via USB-C too but it's no big deal". Exactly. Spot on.
Great review! I am using my Acer Swift 1 for over a year now and I am really happy with it! Even tho I have the very basic model (64GB storage, Intel N3450) it is perfect for me. I use it for MS Office work such as PowerPoint, Word etc.most of the time and in my free time for browsing the web and Netflix/TH-cam. To be honest, if you have multiple tabs open and some of them are loading, watching a video can get quite laggy but I knew that before buying the Notebook (I mean... it's basic model). Everyone who needs a Laptop for browsing the web and working with MS Office it's the perfect option. It feels very premium (especially for its price) and the battery life is great!
Thanks! The N3450 is a bit slower than the newer N5000 in this model of the Swift. In addition to that, the N3450 can only support DDR3 RAM, whereas the N5000 supports DDR4. So there are a few improvements over the N3450 model that should make it a little better with multitasking, but yes, it can slow down if you ask too much of the little guy.
@@MarkSpurrell The Swift 1 I have is the previous model, as far as I know, to the one you presented. I think the extra money for the N5000 is definitely worth it.
I've had a Swift 1 with N4200 CPU, 4GB RAM, 128 gig storage, used as my main device for nearly three years. Hated the keyboard at first, got used to it. It's really sloooooooow at times, changing from youtube fullscreen to exiting fullscreen. Terrible fingerprint scanner. Used to get 9 hours batt life when I got it, down to about 4 hours now. Probably going to replace the battery as I want to stick with fanless. It's really nice to have the metal case, which can get hot if left in the sun/ charging and cold in the winter. I was left thinking I would have been better off getting a laptop not made of metal for the same price, so a bit more performance, but..... well, the metal is really nice. I got a gold one and there's not a single bit or wear on the finish. Decent sound out of the headphone socket, ok speakers for a laptop I guess. But the volume and brightness cannot be adjusted one handed, which is not easy, hugely inconvenient.
I subscribed because of this video! It's not that I can't afford mid-range ultrabook, I just need a second cheap laptop that has impressive battery life and sleek looking design, most other brand/model has dull design in this price range. I will be using this the most since I worried about breaking my main laptop if I bring it everytime and everywhere.
I just need a laptop to access Microsoft office, surf the net and TH-cam, a too powerful laptop always tempt me to game at class so I guess this is a great laptop for studying.
Yeah there are a few different configurations. Some also have 8GB RAM but in some regions there is no 8GB version available. Some have 128GB m.2 SSD, some have 64GB eMMC and an empty m.2 slot.
@@tianyangli2478 as far as I know all default to S mode. If you don't like it, take it out of S mode before you install too many things. While it's easy to take it out of S mode, it does require wiping all your data.
Hey I’m trying to buy a laptop for classes online and want to know how good the camera is no other TH-cam video I’ve found of this laptop goes into big detail of it
I have this and a 2019 Macbook pro to get me through (online) college. I'm definitely more magnetized to the Macbook even though I have used windows all my life 😂I do prefer the macbook's keyboard because of the feel of the butterfly keys and the backlight. (i'm awake more at night) Also, mine has a Pentium, not a celeron.
I’m about to buy the Acer Aspire 3 pentinum and 8gb ram with 256gb storage. It’s only £349 in the uk which seems really affordable. I’m going to compare these two and see what’s better.
Pay attention to the CPU on the one you get as the N5000 is faster than the other CPUs available on the Swift 1. Usually the new N5000 ones are silver.
Its 2022 now and im not sure if the acer swift 1 is still good, considering theres the swift 3 and 5. But i am a student on a budget and im planning to use this just to type out my work and research on material. I also plan to use it for light gaming (valorant)! The acer swift 1 that im thinking of getting is the one with 16gb which seems reasonable. Does anyone have any advice?
I bought the Swift 1 for the ex a few years ago when it had the N5000. The N5000 was the best of the ultra-budget low-power (“bad”) intel processors commonly available at the time. I immediately installed a good SSD and set it as the boot drive. The laptop was great for documents/daily work, internet browsing, and media consumption, as long as you don’t like having dozens of tabs/programs open at once. The new Swift 1 has the N6000, which is, again, the best of the ultra-budget processors commonly available right now. So you should make sure you’re buying the current, N6000 model and not one of the many older models still on the market. The biggest issue now is the price. When I bought it, the Swift 1 cost (USD) $225 on Amazon (though I paid an extra $40 or so for the SSD). At that price, it was a great deal. Now the same model costs more than that USED/REFURBISHED, and sellers are asking $350+ for a new one with the old N5000. At these prices and unless the fanless design is super important to you, I’d be tempted to spend a few hundred more and get something with a “real” processor. But the Swift 1 is orientated towards developing countries, so if you’re in one, maybe the prices available to you are more appealing. 16gb of RAM seems like complete overkill for an N5000 or N6000. Those processors will start limiting you before you can exploit that amount of RAM. I don’t know about Valorant. These processors are good for old and indie games. You might get by on ultra-low settings at 30fps. Look for benchmarks/TH-cam clips for the N5000/N6000 running that game or similar ones. The Swift 3 and 5 are obviously going to be much more capable machines.
Rodelmar Alonso no it does not have a lot of ports and if you do any game rendering you need a powerful CPU a good alternative would be a i3 hp pavilion which is only a bit more
I know its 2020.. but ive been targeting this laptop since 2017. I bought it few days ago and mine has a backlit keyboard.. why does other acer swift 1 doesnt have backlit keyboard?
@@oblivionlord1242so far, so good.. no glitches.. but i am planning to upgrade the storage since it only has 64gb..overall, its good for office works or for students..
Like the video could you tell me the functionality of the finger scanner ie will it open account online Like my mac air instead of putting password in,thanks
Had a swift 1 a couple years ago and loved it. Now I’ve found myself recently ordering it again and selling my MacBook Air. Sounds like a bad choice, but I happen to need to use a windows only application which I can’t run on M1 macs (thanks Apple), and I don’t really use it for much else other than a bedside entertainment device and writing…which I loved the Acer for far more. Also I loooove matte displays, colors just seem so much softer to my eyes and I hate the glare I get on glass/touchscreen or glossy panels. I never touch the display so it’s a quite annoying feature
I would recommend skipping the celeron laptops. A budget i5 laptop isn't really that hard to find but will definitely save you a lot of time along the way.
@@sagewriters9726 if you're still looking, check out the Acer Aspire 5 with the Ryzen 3 3200u on amazon. You can get a used unit for the same price as the one in the video, also has good upgradability for RAM, M.2 (NVME), and a standard 2.5-inch SSD.
The swift 3 with Ryzen seems like the natural step up from this one. But if you want passively cooled and/or your budget is ~$300, this laptop is hard to beat.
Toyshell Taylor It’s not really a gaming laptop. Gaming laptops are a bit more pricey. I recommend the company Dell. They have a few good gaming laptops. My brother uses one and it works great for League of Legends and Runescape.
used this laptop for almost 2 years now...now I got a question.....did u know either this laptop support blu-ray or not? because I try to play blu-ray disc but it's not working.....the cd player I bought says it support blu-ray....so I don't know what the problems are..is the laptop or the disc...(I just know the basic use of the laptop)😔
@@MarkSpurrell how about in video editing ? I'm just curious of matte finish screen and viewing angles because I will use this in my studying in graphic designing, my option is this and asus vivobook flip 14 which has a great glossy touch screen
Weirdly, the performance is about the same really. The 4415U is a proper Kaby Lake processor, but the fact that it's a bit older and only dual core means the n5000 can still match it, and do so more power-efficiently. The newer Swift 3 with the Ryzen CPU on the other hand is much faster. But I'm guessing you found that 4415U one cheap because of its age and that it's been outclassed now.

Acer Swift 1 SF114-33-C8EP is backlit. It says in the specifications.
IDK what's up, but my swift 1 has a backlit keyboard... Bought it from Amazon last year, but has the previous gen n4200

FWIW the N4200 is much slower than the N5000 and it's even slower than the N4100 and (at least in single threaded workloads) the N4000.
