Product Information

The logo-bearing chin bezel is the chunky part here, though it partially disappears behind the back of the base as part of that footing system. The 14" Full HD screen is framed by a super-slim bezel, giving you the maximum image space from a compact laptop. The Swift 1 feels reassuringly solid in the hand, and it remains firmly planted when you open it up.

Lower models utilize a small spread of alternatives, including the Pentium N5030, the Pentium N5000, and the Celeron N4500. This means that, unlike with certain other cheap laptops, it won’t necessarily spend its whole working life with the brightness cranked up to 100%.If you’re not fussed by the Swift 1’s fingerprint sensor, have no need for a USB-C port, and don’t mind a more prosaic design, then you might want to consider the Acer Aspire 1 A114-33. The majority of the variants feature an Intel Pentium N6000 processor with no higher-end performance options available.

In our standard looping video test at 120 nits brightness, the laptop lasted 15 hours 12 minutes before it gave up the ghost. PayPal Credit and PayPal Pay in 3 are trading names of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH.

The hinges are strong and quite stiff, which makes the laptop nearly impossible to open with a single hand, but also keeps the screen stably in place regardless of the angle. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. That will get you a more modest Celeron N4500 CPU, half the RAM (4 GB), and a mere fraction of the storage (64GB), though with the same external offering. For regular daytime indoors usage, I found that between half and two-thirds brightness level would suffice.
