Boxx Direct Ltd is an independent company in the Business Supplies sector specialising in the procurement of your Office Supplies, PPE, IT Consumables, Facilities Supplies, Printed Stationery, Branded Merchandising, Furniture and Workwear. It didn’t suffer for the switch, but I did find the Swift 1 to be annoyingly sluggish to wake from sleep.
Equipped with 4GB of RAM, this laptop strikes an excellent balance between multitasking capabilities and affordability. A 128GB Solid State Drive provides plenty of storage space and an extra-fast boot-up every time you lift the lid.A large variety of tests make up this score, including how easy the laptop is to use while on your lap, how easy the lid is to open, and how well the keyboard and touchpad are to handle.
As with the recent Acer Aspire 1, flitting between this and my MacBook Pro 2019 caused no mental short circuits whatsoever, outside of the usual Windows/MacOS shortcut divide. The Swift 1 features a full complement of connectivity options, including the latest dual-band Wi-Fi 6. A combination of USB speed tests, industry-standard benchmark software and wi-fi speed tests create this overall speed score.This applies to manufacturing defects or hardware faults that develop in the first months of ownership (between 6 and 12 months depending on the item). In the event of a fault developing in the first 14 days of receiving your purchase, please get in touch with us as soon as possible, we will help you with troubleshooting and resolving the issue. Whether you're juggling multiple applications or running resource-intensive software, the Swift 1 SF114-34 is up to the task. Suffice to say, while I put most of this review together on the Swift 1, the images were reviewed on a more premium machine. There’s no ethernet connection, which is a bit of a shame (perhaps a casualty of that Ultra-Thin chassis), but the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard (11ax) is supported.
The plastic screen bezels are reasonably slim, particularly to the side, with a claimed 84% screen-to-body ratio. The latest Intel Pentium Silver Processor1 keeps everything running at optimum speeds while the fan-less design keeps noises to a minimum for the perfect working environment. As the outstanding balance, plus the interest now form part of your payable balance they will attract interest at your account rate, meaning you will pay interest on interest.You also get a 1-year subscription to Microsoft 365, giving you access to the latest versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and a number of other Microsoft Office apps. You also get 3x USB ports, including a USB-C port as well as an HDMI port, to ensure you can connect a wide range of accessories and external displays. The 14" Full HD screen is framed by a super-slim bezel, giving you the maximum image space from a compact laptop.
The other advantage to Acer not cheaping out on the Swift 1’s display is a decent maximum brightness of 301 nits, which was recorded using an iDisplay Studio. Item has some minor marks and dents on the chassis, however these do not effect the operation of the item. The embedded fingerprint reader is a quick and secure way for Windows Hello to verify a user’s identity without a password. With enough power to keep you going for 2 and a half work days from a single full charge, you won't be panicking if you can't get a seat next to a wall socket. Another notable design inclusion – for an ostensibly affordable laptop line, at least – is a fingerprint reader.
In general terms, the Acer Swift 1 performs perfectly adequately for the light tasks it’s built for.
Great Deal
