Acer Swift 3 SF315-51-518S Review

The Acer Swift 3 SF315-51-518S is designed to keep you on the go while still delivering a full sized 15.6 inch display. It doesn’t come with a 360 degree hinge like many newer models we are seeing but instead provides a standard setup which still many consumers prefer. Below we are going to go over some of the benefits and downsides of this model and see just how well it stacks up to the competition.

Memory: 8 GB of RAM

Storage: 256 GB SSD

Screen: 15.6 Inches

Benefits

– The Acer Swift 3 SF315-51-518S is quite light for a full sized laptop with a total weight of 4.6 pounds compared to many full sized laptops that are 5 or above
– It has the Intel Core i5 processor powering it which is a slight step down from the i7 but still delivers very good performance
– With up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge it is very easy to get a full day of use in without needing to track down a power source
– The SSD drive gives you both fast boot times and fast performance due to its quicker read and write times
– Includes a fingerprint reader for added security
– Keyboard is back-lit making it much easier to work in poorly lit locations

Downsides

– The SSD drive was the right option due to its performance benefits but with only 256 GB of storage space those that save plenty might find it doesn’t have quite enough capicity
– Graphics card is just a basic integrated option so playing high end games with intense video will be difficult if not impossible

Verdict

The long lasting battery and slightly lighter design compared to other full sized models really sets the Acer Swift 3 SF315-51-518S apart and makes it a great choice for those who plan on being on the go often and taking their device with them.
