I'm very pleased with this Acer Swift 3 14" touchscreen running Windows 11. I am replacing an old Acer Aspire R5-471T-51UN that runs Windows 10 and has a hard time staying connected to the power source (loose connector). I've only had this a couple weeks, but I like it a lot. I've been very busy figuring out Windows 11 and installing a lot of my old software. This laptop is very lightweight. It's fast enough for me. The fan is usually very quiet. The keys have a nice feel. It's a good size to actually use on one's lap. The charger can be connected to a port on either the left or right side, and it feels very secure. Things I don't care for are - having the power button to the right of the delete button, since that is where I'm used to having the delete key itself. I'm adjusting. - The silver keyboard with white lettering on the keys is harder for me to see than white lettering on a black board. When the light is funny, I have to tilt the keyboard to see the lettering. - A charge doesn't last as long as expected, but I'm used to having the computer plugged in while I'm using it, so it's not a big deal for me. - The Windows Hello touch sign on does not work well. It is unable to get a good fingerprint (also on the power key) and keeps telling me to clean the key. I also found out that having the Windows Hello fingerprint sign in turned on meant that I had to sign in every single time (after "sleep"), and since my fingerprint is not recognized, I have to enter my PIN every time. Disabling the Windows Hello fingerprint allowed me the change some sign-in setting so I wouldn't have to enter my PIN every time. I don't know if this is a Windows thing or an Acer thing. All in all, I'm quite happy with this laptop PC! And I got it for the low low price of $570 (plus tax)!

Upon start up, the track pad didn't work. All of the initializing prompts also showed OOBE error codes which can't be fixed at a consumer level. Attempting to fix the issues using windows trouble shoot also prooved useless as certain options were missing or attempting to run diagnostics showed another error code. All in all this is a device that shouldn't be tried to pass of as "Good as new". Fundamental issues in the software, probably from the refurbishing, made it unusable and unfixable as a common consumer. Terrible product, should've actually been checked before being sent out. We've since sent it back and won't get a refund for a while.

I’ve owned this laptop for 9 months now. It has been excellent in every aspect. Design wise, it is pretty basic, but it does still look stylish and classy, thanks to its squared edges and chrome accents. The battery life is great; it lasts about 7 hours of constant use. Thanks to the intel evo i7 processor, this laptop is very quick, and I’ve noticed zero lag or buffer when running big programs. This laptop also comes with 512gb which is more than enough for the average user. I also love the fact that it comes with a fingerprint reader. It makes signing into my computer so much easier and faster. Another cool feature is the backlit keyboard, which is excellent for when I need to type in places with not much lighting. It also has a usb-c thunderbolt port, which is great for transferring files quickly. The usb-c port also functions as a way to charge the laptop, which is great if you don’t happen to have the charger. Speaking of chargers, this laptop also charges very quickly, which has come in handy on nights that I forget to plug in my computer for the next day. I usually just plug it in the morning, and after 30 minutes it has 50%. The only thing I wish is that it was touchscreen. Other than that, it has been a wonderful experience using the computer so far. For the price of $500, it is an excellent value for your money. Would definitely recommend.

I love this little guy. It's exactly what I wanted. I love moving and travelling so I wanted something that wouldn't break my back when carrying it in my backpack, but don't let this fool you, its weight does not detract from how powerful and sturdy it is. The battery life is great, the 16 hours advertised only last if not being used intensely and you hibernate it from time to time (not continuous usage). The backlit keyboard is beautiful but has no use in well-lit rooms. The only thing I'm not particularly fond of is the speakers, they are quite low so it's best to use headphones, which I don't really enjoy. The camera is decent, I've only used it for GoogleMeets and it looked good. Other than that, this laptop is really fast and even cute. Update: I removed one star because the laptop gets overwhelmingly hot when plugged in to the charger, it's absurd. On top of that, the laptop freezes after 2-3 days of sleep mode, so you have to completely turn it off -- losing any document you didn't save -- and then turn it back on, to the point where I get nervous whenever I'm working on a Word doc out now. Not what you expect from an i7-11 gen...

Exactly as advertised and arrived very quickly …. perfect!

It is a great laptop. We always drown into the highest spec laptop but this thing works just perfect. I am an office person so most of my work are office apps, a few cloud apps, normal browsing etc. This is a solid device

The keyboard no longer works reliably, it stops responding suddenly and without reason, then pops back on and will repeat the last key touched until it runs out of space. My son lost a ton of work when the last button he touched was the delete button. I called support, they want $179 for the technical support to fix the problem, which they say can be fixed software upgrade. Seems like a racket. Anyone have suggestions on what to do here?

Perfect for home office. Good quality 👌

Para llevar una ingeniería o licenciatura va excelente, *niños no es para “gaming”* Excelente calidad precio, color formal, totalmente de aluminio, la luz en el teclado no es lo mejor pero es lo de menos, Intel Evo core i7. No se arrepentirán, y me llego en excelentes condiciones.

Es una laptop bastante buena para el trabajo del día a día, bastante fluida por sus características, sin embargo no es recomendable para gaming (no es para ello), pero si para estudiantes universitarios.
