Acer Swift 3 SF314-511-51A3, 14" Full HD, 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7, 8GB LPDDR4X, 512GB NVMe SSD, Silver

For context, I'm coming to this computer from a 2015 MacBook Air. Needless to say, computers have gotten faster over the past 7 years, so the performance is much better. Where I'm the most impressed is with the build quality, keyboard, screen and trackpad. I'd say all of these things are about 90% as good as a MacBook at like 30-50% of the price. That is NOT the case for all mid-range laptops. For the average user, this has everything you could possibly need. I'm very happy with the purchase and feel like I got a great deal.

I have only been using this computer for a couple of days, but it has exceeded my expectations! I just replaced my Dell XPS13 which I've had for 5 years, and so far, I like this one better! I read numerous reviews on other websites, agreed with all the positives and the few negatives (such as appearance or keyboard configurations) were either irrelevant to me or didn't prove to be true for me. The keyboard is great (and I'm a typer), it's lightning fast, and the screen is bright and easily visible outdoors in daylight. I must admit the speaker isn't great sound quality (being on the bottom), but audio is very clear. If you want hi-fi music, you probably want speakers on any computer. Battery life isn't quite the huge numbers advertised, but it will get me through a full day for my level of use. We will see how it holds up, but it seems quite sturdy with the metal alloy construction. The fingerprint reader works every time. It starts up quickly. I would definitely buy it again!
