Until recently, there was a discrepancy in the Acer Swift family: ordinary models with a 15-inch display, medium-format laptops with 14-inch displays and compact ultrabooks came out under these flags. In order not to compete with Aspire and Extenza laptops, Acer decided to focus exclusively on affordable ultrabooks, the potential audience of which is willing to pay a reasonable price for the appropriate set of characteristics.

The Swift family includes several dozen completely different ultrabooks. Low-cost ultrabooks with an average price tag of $500 are located in one part of the spectrum. Naturally, the filling in them is quite modest (Pentium CPU + 4 GB of RAM), and the displays, to put it mildly, do not shine, but the equipment does not give any reason to regret the purchase. Usually, even low-cost Swift models are moderately stylish ultrabooks in a durable and lightweight metal and plastic case, with fast charging, fingerprint scanner, USB-C, Wi―Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 modules, as well as a silent passive cooling system.

At the same time, there are enough thoroughbred ultrabooks with touch screens in the ranks of Swift, which are not much inferior to the popular Asus ZenBook or HP EliteBook laptops. For a thousand and a half dollars, Acer offers a combo of a Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, a terabyte SSD, an excellent IPS display with natural colour reproduction, Thunderbolt support and many other features that we are used to seeing in premium ultrabooks.
