Some people are complaining of a black screen after a week or two of use which is really unfortunate and should be fixed on Acer's part, but the machine itself is wonderful in my opinion.
Pros:
+ Light (1.2kgs), portable, fits easily in any bag.
+ Crazy fast boot times and storage speeds. Shut down to log in in less than 7 seconds. Having only an SSD helps!
+ The display is actually quite nice, I think. Good colors, small bezels.
+ Build quality is good, minimal keyboard flex.
+ Battery life is pretty damn good. I'm averaging about 7-9 hours with web browsing, and some video.
+ Trackpad is fairly large, responsive, Windows precision drivers, so gestures work smoothly.
+ Backlit keyboard is comfortable to type on.
+ Fingerprint scanner takes a little while to get used to, but now it works for me quickly about 95% of the time.
Mehs:
- Hinge is pretty stiff tbh, takes 2 hands to open the laptop.
- To my knowledge the ram is limited to 8gb, (though somewhere I read you can max out to 12 gigs).
In general, the experience so far has just been really convenient and quick. From the bag to logged in, ready to work takes only a few seconds and 2 months in, I couldn't be happier!
This is my 3rd Acer Swift 3. It is even better than the previous! Beautiful design with much thinner bezel. It's super fast, with lots of features, such as back lit keyboard and fingerprint scanner. It's all metal and yet very light (around 3 lbs). It also charges fast and the battery lasts for hours. Has HDMI, USB-C, 1 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0, memory card reader, Bluetooth, 802.11ac wireless, full HD, stereo speakers, webcam, and headphone jack. The speakers are at the bottom, so if using it over a pillow or lap it could muffle the sound. It has one headset jack, like those on most smartphones. You can use it with regular headphones or with headphones with in-line microphone. Laptop also has microphone. It doesn't get hot, not even after hours of use. Has more than enough storage for me. Other than the speakers being at the bottom, I love everything about this computer.
Dislike: Fingerprint scanner is encouraged during user orientation, but only works 30-40% of the time; speakers are pretty weak, topped-out audio is drowned out by just a little background noise; charger is short
Preinstalled software: This machine came with a bunch of pre-installed software, which I immediately wiped after setting up windows using the windows refresh tool. I'd highly recommend this as you don't need *any* of the apps Acer has pre-installed on this laptop.
Speed: No problem here. This thing is more than fast enough for its intended use: youtube, facebook, netflix, gmail, etc etc. I've never had issues with RAM, even with quite a few chrome tabs open, and I've never had to wait very long for the machine to boot or resume from sleep.
Build quality: This thing is feels rock solid. I feel confident picking it up by the corner of the base, and frequently carry it around with 1 hand when I need to walk around with it.
Fingerprint sensor: The fingerprint sensor is god awful. It reads my finger about 1 in every 10 tries, which is rare enough that windows always makes me enter my PIN when I try to use it to login. Sometimes, I can get my finger in just the right position and it unlocks instantly, but it's super rare. I don't understand how my phone from 5 years ago could be so much better.
Everything Else: I really have no other complaints about this laptop. Everything works just fine and stays out of your way so you can just use the laptop.
I find a laptop without an optical drive so much better than those larger, heavier, and (yes) more fragile bigger laptops. This Acer 3 is big enough to totally meet my needs, but no hassle at all to carry along on any of my journeys. I can't imagine wanting any other machine, desktop included.
It would be nice to have more than 8GB Ram, but I really work my machine and get along fine with 8GB.
Bottom line: a real winner. I'm REALLY pleased with this purchase.
