Acer Swift 5 (2021) Review and Unboxing

[@SoulOfTech]

Would you consider buying the new Swift 5?

[@wajahatsayeed9593]

I'm a student is it good to buy this laptop ?? For online classes and casual video editing and binge

[@SoulOfTech]

@@wajahatsayeed9593 for sure!

[@thamzhiyong3161]

Yes but i got the matebook 14 due to budget constraints

[@annawright4545]

Absolutely, YES. I have the older brother Sf 3; I would never change it for anything elese. It's fast, endurant, sturdy, reliable, - I have 50-60 windows open at all times - carried between continets, and still is like bought last week. It is 8 years of age as by this month. Acer have never let me down - todate.

[@annawright4545]

@Daniel Vaughn Yes, to Acer.

[@RaviKiran-on5gf]

You're doing really good "comprehensive" reviews, unlike most other tech youtubers. Keep up the good job!

[@SoulOfTech]

Thanks for watching!

[@Birdylockso]

8 months in, user report: i7-1165G7 "Tiger Lake" @ 2.80GHz, 16GB, 1TB It's very nice, fast, light, and dependable. So far no issue with fan noise (very quiet) or over heat. The only problem I have is the speakers are not loud enough. Overall, I am very happy with it.

[@ThisuraYapa]

You can enhance the quality and increase volume by messing around with DTS settings

[@Birdylockso]

@@ThisuraYapa Thanks, I just tried to restore to default setting on DTS. The result is the same, laptop speaker sound is still a joke.

[@ravipeiris4388]

Great overview, thank you. However, it's not a flaw when one cannot open the deck lid of a notebook with one hand when the hinge is reinforced and the parts inside the notebook are structurally distributed in a way to make the notebook workable and lightweight.

[@dickywijayarahman7353]

I bought this laptop, it's little bit difficult to put the charger on.

I’m very much happy with my Swift 3 model

[@patrokles9]

Awesome review, happy with mine so far. Do you know if there's a stylus that works with the touchscreen?

[@arthurarthur221]

Great review! Do you know if the "antimicrobial corning gorilla glass" text on the screen is a permanent mark or a sticker?

[@mkawa1566]

Love your reviews

[@SoulOfTech]

So glad!

[@tyhcjw]

I bought the S514-55GT-725L model in May and have been using it to WFH. I connected to two displays, overall the speed was good, but the fans were unbearably loud and annoying, even louder than my brother’s 4~5 year old MacBook Air. I think it’s just give and take if you want to get a laptop this thin and light.

[@isuruakalanka2124]

What is the main difference Acer Swift 3 Vs Swift 5

[@ellie-tk4jy]

1srgb% more

[@techyunited9086]

Thank you so much for considering this laptop for review. Do you think there will be much of a performance dip with the i5 variant of this machine with 8 GB of RAM at a lower price point?

[@ackyash]

Depends on what you plan to use the laptop for. But longevity of 16 GB / I7 variant will be longer compared to 8gb / I5 variant. If you can afford it, get the i7 variant with 16GB.

[@lapdmetropolitandivisionfa7870]

This is the laptop that Phil Swift will totally buy

[@Aashiq002]

Which one better in between Acer swift 3 ; Acer swift 3x ; Asus vivobook s14 (with optain) Lenovo think pad e15 2021 In i5 configuration Reply me...

[@SoulOfTech]

Acer Swift 5 hands down.

[@Abhi-qg5rh]

@@SoulOfTech thanks mate

[@almosteasy9590]

Excellent video!

[@humairahkamarulzaman467]

I agree with the part where the folding screen is just too thin, got mine recently cracked (due to too much unfolding, I guess...or my siblings were just a little aggressive), and I was pretty disappointed with the crack exactly on the folding area, is there anyway that I could fix the folding crack, because I'm not sure if I would have to get it fixed it as a whole. Above all, I still love all the characters of this laptop since I've been using it since last year and everything was convenient for me as a student as I can carry it around without worrying about how heavy it would be.

[@Harj_E_0]

Would you recommend the Acer Swift 5 or the Dell XPS 13 9305?

[@ellie-tk4jy]

I need the answer to this too. For video editing and 8gb ram.

[@aeymara]

Do you recommend this for college student who is having online classes?

[@SoulOfTech]

For sure.

[@jayantvarma7052]

Is it good for heavy programming?

[@SoulOfTech]

It should suffice.

[@salmansakib_real]

Hp envy 13 intel or this one? I can't decide between these 2.

[@MusicianGreg]

Thanks for the speaker test. Acer always gets that wrong. Defend audio would make that laptop sell much better. I've been waiting 5 years now for the next iteration to improve audio and still after 5 years the audio is shit.

[@muhdzahiruddin6708]

would you recommend this laptop for engineering students?

[@SoulOfTech]

It depends on the type of programs, but this is generally a pretty powerful machine.

[@kinethrabot3832]

Can you review msi Modern14 b4mw with the ryzen 5 4500u variant? I'm planning to buy on this one. And your reviews are all top notch.

[@SoulOfTech]

Thanks Kineth, I'll put it on the future videos list :)

[@bronaghhealy4381]

Which is better - Acer Swift 5 vs Dell inspiron 15 (AMD ryzen 5 5500U, 8gb)? Thanks

[@erichaynes7502]

I've read a lot of complaints that the Inspiron with ryzen 5500 runs too hot and loud. However, the Swift 5 low quality speakers are kind of a disappointing. I've looked hard for a decent 15.6 inch screen laptop but they can't hold a candle to the 14 inch laptops. I might end up buying the Acer Swift 3 these smaller screen laptops have a lot longer battery life and are very light weight.

Bought mine weeks ago. It started having ghost touches...needed to disable touch screen. Not sure if it's Acer or a Windows 10 bug.

[@SoulOfTech]

Thats not a good experience, have you reached out to Acer warranty?

[@wllaustlol1894]

Hi, is there anything different in the October 2021 model with windows 11?

[@SoulOfTech]

I dont think so but I cannot say for sure as I have not reviewed it.

[@likklebattyman5677]

The ram is actually not ddr4, but the faster and more power efficient lpddr4x.

[@SoulOfTech]

Hi great point, the one on this laptop here is in-fact LPDDR4x I labeled as DDR4 as it belongs to the same generation. It’s worth nothing that DDR4 actually has higher bandwidth at lower speeds compared to LPDD4x. So while it is more power efficient it’s not faster per say.

[@Andrew_EvsW]

Can you add extra storage on this laptop ?

Can you please give me a link to where I can buy this

Hi link varies by region, so unfortunately I can’t always provide a purchase link. I would check the video description to see if the link works for you otherwise check your local HP site.

Open it up and inspect your fan.

I wish i had it 😥

[@SoulOfTech]

Hope you do someday soon!

[@brahmleenpapneja]

This is similar to the acer aspire 7

[@SoulOfTech]

Yes in many ways.

[@saugat5844]

Why acer doesn't care about speakers? It's a turn down for me and I guess it is a turn down for most of the people. Good screen Good Keyboard Good trackpad Good speakers Are one of the basic thing Most poeple want in a laptop. I mean good, not the best. At least usable. I think acer's speakers are below the quality threshold for laptops. I hate it for this

[@ackyash]

Just got the Swift 5 here in India last week at INR 90K. Model I7 with 16 GB/1 Tb ssd. Gr8 machine overall. It is so light, that it almost feels like a toy, but build quality is fine considering that it weighs only 1 kg. Pros- excellent performance, lovely bright screen with touch, battery life seems to decent and of course the ultra- portability, 3 year warranty upgrade free of cost after registering on acer India website Cons - keyboard could be better as gold on dark green is sometimes hard to make out clearly under some light conditions , only 1 level of keyboard backlighting, arrows keys placement poor, no physical button to turn off webcam for security , 2nd big con is that speakers not loud enough. I think my Iphone 12 speakerphone is much louder. priced slightly high and should be 10-15 percent cheaper (but still cheaper here in India than the UK or USA) Overall I would highly recommend this notebook, if you can adjust to the slightly subpar keyboard and speakers.

[@SoulOfTech]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@dinaturlao6771]

Does the webcam is good quality?

How much this cost in india?

[@satishd2749]

Bro is it still good planning to buy in Melbourne they have on sale Swift 5 i7 16gb ram and 1tb sad Touchscreen 2021 model. Is it good to buy please message me as it's been a year, you can tell me better user review.

[@ackyash]

@@satishd2749 Yes 2021 model is good depending on the discount you are getting. If you getting for about 1000 dollar range Aussie than 11th gen is good deal. But still personally, if I were you I would spend a lil bit more to get the 12th gen model for the 16:10 screen with higher resolution, better RAM and SSD. 2022 model will last you longer too.
