Acer Swift 5 SF514 (i5-8250U, UHD 620) Laptop Review

[Redaktion]

Lightweight performance mimosa. At just 930 grams (2.05 lbs) the touchscreen-equipped laptop seems to be the perfect business companion. We take a closer look at much more than just the Swift's processor and RAM. What are the notebook's inherent compromises, and what else did Acer have to sacrifice along the way?

The power button is located at the very top right in the function keys row right next to the delete key, and we found ourselves putting the Swift 5 to sleep accidentally far too often.

Do laptop manufacturers read the reviews ?

I will not buy a new laptop as long as I see ON/OFF button there !

not a bad laptop, I bought it for US$690 6 months ago at HK Computer Festival.

16G DDR4 RAM, running win10 pro, two slots of M.2, installed one 512G SSD.

USB-C charging does work, takes about 2 hours to fully charge it and usage time is around 4 hours.

It would be perfect if it comes with fast-charging.
