 Acer has been making a resurgence in 2022. All of their recent laptops look good and perform well, including the Acer Swift 3, which we have here today. It's powered by the Older Lake P-Series, which allows for both efficiency and performance, as there is a good amount of P-Cores as well as E-Cores. Starting on the outside, the Swift 3 has an all-metal construction, which weighs only 1.25 kg and has a profile of just 16 mm. Although there is some flex from the lead and base, it comes with a territory of a compact machine. Still, the lead opens easily with one hand while remaining wobble free. It also lifts up the rear end by a reasonable amount, which is good for both ergonomics and cooling. Moving to the base, we see a decently sized vent in the upper right corner. The keyboard and touchpad aren't that great, as the keys feel mushy, while the pad is a bit smaller than we would prefer. The I.O. is split between the left and right. The left gets two Thunderbolt 4 ports that can be used for charging, an HDMI 2.1 port and a full-size 10 gigabit USB port. On the other side sits one more USB port of the same speed, as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack. On the front, we get a full HD IPS display, which is excellent for both general users as well as color-sensitive work. It reaches 360 nits of brightness, while sporting an amazing contrast ratio of 1920 to 1. It covers 90% of the sRGB gamut, while providing excellent accuracy both with and without our design and gaming profile. Still, the profile does improve on it by a little bit. We have a link for you to purchase it in the video description. With the Core i5-1240p and a 54.6 mAh battery pack, we squeeze out 12 hours and 26 minutes of web browsing, for 9 hours and 10 minutes of video playback. Very good result. This is one of the better performing i5-1240p CPUs that we've seen. It gets outperformed by the Ryzen 7 5800U and the Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U in 3D rendering. However, its 2D rendering capabilities are unmatched, surpassing both chips with leads of more than a second. The Core i5 is cooled by two heat pipes and two fans, which turns out to be enough for a 28-watt CPU. In this first test, the CPU maintains a higher TDP, recording 34W at the 15-minute mark, while temperatures are low and the clock speeds are alright. Comfort is decent as well as the base reaches only 40 degrees Celsius. Noise isn't an issue as well as the two fans remain relatively quiet. Smaller laptops rarely get expandable RAM, and such is the case with the Swift 3. As all 16GB of high-speed LPDDR4X memory are soldered onto the motherboard. In terms of storage, there is a single M.2 slot for the Superfast Gen 4 SSDs. If you want to see how to take apart the Swift 3, go over to our teardown video which shows a step-by-step approach. The Swift 3 is undoubtedly one of the best older-like laptops that we've seen. It has a good design and a fully aluminum build. Acer has also included a great display and a lot of performance while maximizing battery life. The only caveat about it is the input devices, but it feels like a decent sacrifice considering the rest of the package that you're getting.
