Acer Swift 3 – SF314-57G-50ZR

14", Intel Core i5-1035G1, 8 GB, 512 GB, DE

Product details

With the latest Nvidia GPU, Intel CPU and long battery life, you have a choice of displays: for example, choose a sleek silver case with a 13.5-inch (34.3 cm) IPS VertiView display with a 3:2 aspect ratio
and a resolution of 2,256 x 1,504. Or do you prefer the vivid colors of a 14-inch (35.6 cm) FHD IPS display with a 16:9 aspect ratio?

Weight really isn't an issue with this thin and light notebook. Thanks to its metal chassis made of aluminum and magnesium-aluminum, it weighs just 1.19 kg5 and measures a slim 15.95 mm. Again, less is more. With its slim bezel and impressive screen-to-body ratio, there's plenty to look at on the 13.5-inch (34.3 cm) IPS VertiView display with 3:2 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2,256 x 1,504 pixels, or on the 14-inch (35.6 cm) FHD IPS display with 16:9 aspect ratio.1 Additional features like Acer Color Intelligence and ExaColor ensure sharper color contrast.

When you're on the go, you don't want to worry about your laptop failing. The Swift 3 has enough power to get you through the day - whether it's for work or entertainment. Accessing the Swift 3 is now even faster - no password required. And thanks to Cortana, you can also use it as an intelligent assistant to answer a wide variety of questions. Modern notebook users need plenty of storage space for audio and video files, and plenty of memory to play them efficiently. The Swift 3 is equipped with a PCIe Gen 3x4 SSD with a maximum of 1 TB as well as up to 16 GB LPDDR4X RAM.

With plenty of connectivity options, including fully functional USB-C and Thunderbolt 35, you can connect as many modern devices to the Swift 3 as you like. And to keep the Swift 3 compatible with older devices, there's also a 2nd generation USB 3.1 port and a DisplayPort port.
