Two weeks in on my new 2024 Swift 3 14" OLED i5-12500H 8/512GB Win11 Home. So excited to finally have a new LT after using my wife's second hand bricks. Retired and now only need to surf the web, do home Office productivity stuff and watch vids/movies; although it has the specs to do much more. No gaming or creator vid/music editing needed. After lots of research, just kept coming back to the Acer brand, and this Swift 3 OLED model. As the Swift 3 is getting phased out for the Swift Go series, I was able to snag this beauty on Acer's site on sale for only $500 (vs. $950+). Battery life only rated at 8 hrs, but that's better than any LT I've even had. Great review even though it's dated.

Lol I am coming from your ssd comparison video from a year ago. You kept your word and have been uploading daily :D I think you need to make videos about more popular topics. Save yourself the trouble and upload like twice weekly and more condensed videos. Maybe similar to Dave2d

Great video! Thanks for the content Which one should I get, Swift 3 SF314-511-55J1 i5-1135G7 11th Gen 8GB RAM 512GB SSD or Aspire 5 A515-45-R8W2 Ryzen 7 5700U 8GB RAM (upgradable) 512GB SSD? Since the Swift is on sale at the store, it is about 50usd cheaper than the Aspire. I’ll be using the laptop mostly for computer science, engineering software and project management. Thanks for the help.

if this comment is older than 2 weeks don't bother replying i'm torn between the aspire 5 ryzen 5 5500u and this Swift 3...both are 700$CAD as of now on amazon...which one would you reccomend? it's main use will be for light gaming ( we have 400w+ desktops at home but would like a portable efficient pc for lighter tasks ) edit : actually nevermind...i just checked and the Swift 3 cannot be upgraded ( ram and storage )

@@RunningToast529 idk if i was shipped the wrong laptop but the one i got ( exact same specs ) has backlit keyboard, an ethernet port and the ram in it was 1 soldered stick of 8gb instead of 1 soldered of 4gb and an added stick of 4gb for a total of 8gb.....i'm much happier with those added bonuses than what was expected since i bought a 2nd 8gb stick of ram ( same specs ) and can run video games in 16gb dual channel ( helps a ton on amd igpu's to render games ) also i bought a 512gb SATA SSD because 250gb isn't enough for games and let me tell you...the cable to connect the storage to the motherboard is very flimsy other than that, the laptop has been enough for any task i threw at it ( as it should since it got 6 cores 12 threads, 16gb dual channel ram and running on SSD's
