Embark on a visual journey with Acer’s Swift 3, now featuring an OLED display, all at an astonishingly affordable price of $499.99, thanks to a $400 discount. OLED laptop screens, known for their vibrant colors and perfect contrast, are typically associated with high-end models or costly screen upgrades. Acer is changing the game by bringing this premium feature to the budget category.
Under the hood, the Swift 3 boasts a capable Core i5-12500H processor, complemented by robust integrated Xe graphics, 8GB of DDR5 RAM (ideal for Windows 11), and a generous 512GB of storage. Notable extras include a backlit keyboard, a 1080p webcam, a fingerprint reader for convenient Windows Hello logins, and a well-rounded selection of ports, including full-sized HDMI and two USB ports. Weighing just 3.1 pounds (1.4 kilograms) and offering an 8-hour battery life, the Swift 3 is both lightweight and enduring.
The highlight, undoubtedly, is the OLED screen. With a resolution of 2880×1800 and a taller-than-normal 16:10 aspect ratio, it delivers a visual experience akin to the latest high-end smartphones.
While the Swift 3 may not compete with the fastest or sleekest laptops on the market, at $500, it presents an unbeatable value. For those seeking additional multitasking power, an alternative variant with a Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM is available for $599.99 – albeit sans the OLED screen.
