I chose this laptop because Ryzen gives the best graphics and processing capability in one chip. Sure you could get better performance if you combine an i7 8550U or even a 8250U along with a graphics card, but that's just going to consume more power (and thus battery life) and is wasteful for someone that will not be using the system for gaming. Having a separate graphics card is also one more part that can generate heat and/or fail, Ryzen is a no brainer. Unlike the other mid-priced Ryzens on the market, this has the all-important SSD, and unlike the Lenovo, is the size that we were in the market for. The rest of the Ryzen notebooks you can get right now are high-end, expensive, and geared for gamers. And a notebook with just an i7 and no graphics card will not match this for overall performance. Was monitoring this one for a while and took the plunge when the price came down to $675, a fine deal for what I hope will be another 8-year laptop.
For those more budget minded, the equivalent Acer Aspire model with the same hardware is possibly a better deal but I decided the premium for the Swift 3 was worth shaving a little weight for. The keyboard backlight is also nice to have.
The only issue was a bit of a scare when the wireless chip was getting a (code 10) won't run error, but after uninstalling the driver in device manager and installing the updated one via USB, everything was in order. Some reviews complained of a sharp edge in the front so I was expecting it to be razor sharp but honestly it was fine, no sharper than a regular table edge.
There was also only minimal "bloatware" from Acer that I had to uninstall, far less than what I have seen before on HP laptops. Overall, very pleased with this package, will update this if anything comes up.
If you like a glossy display, or a glossy display is not a concern for you, then this laptop is a very fine machine and I would recommend it based on performance and price.
But for me personally, I just cannot use glossy display. This laptop was intended to be a daily-use tool for software development, but the glossy display makes that impossible in office environment. Using a glossy display for many hours a day, the reflected light and images are just too distracting and cause eye strain. I judge a laptop on its display, and I am absolutely willing to pay for a high-quality display, and this does have IPS panel, good resolution and brightness and color reproduction; but the glossy, glaring, reflective screen makes it non-useful for me.
Amazon, please fix your Questions and Answers to correctly describe the product being sold!
And Acer, please make the same computer without the glossy display.....
Screen
Vibrant, clear, bright. I bought this laptop for photography and editing videos, obviously not the most colour accurate screen but you can work with it.
Keyboard
Backlit. Now I can use my laptop anywhere I am, in any lighting. The keys are responsive and short travel, which I like.
Trackpad
Precision trackpad. I think that all I need to say. Also large trackpad area.
Ports
PORTS. There are all the necessary ports, the only one that I wish it had was Ethernet but I could live without. I am sure a dongle could fix that.
Fingerprint Scanner
Responsive but as every fingerprint scanner, make sure the scanner and the selected finger is always clean. It works 90% so far.
Build
Hmmm... Okay so this is one part you will hear a negative but hear me out. The build quality is great. Slick design but there is one problem, the edge, near your wrist, is a bit sharp. For me, it is bearable but some, I know it would irritate.
If you have any questions, you may ask and the review may be updated if anything arises.
MAY 2019 THE SCREEN WENT BLACK. I BARELY USE IT
Update 2020 eventually something went wrong with the motherboard and I had to spend like $80 to fix it. I bought this thing for $700 man they really jacked the price up

Pantalla: Nítida, limpia y siempre lista. El único detalle es que refleja la luz quizá un poco más de lo esperado, esto debido a que tiene el Corning Gorilla Glass, pero yo creo que vale la pena por la durabilidad y resistencia. Otro detalle es que no posee una pestaña en la tapa para ayudar a levantarla, pero te acostumbras.
Teclado: Las teclas poseen una textura suave, lo que se agradece. Además de que el teclado retroiluminado es de gran utilidad. Sin embargo, las teclas son un poco menos duras que el promedio.
Trackpad: Muy amplio y preciso sobre el promedio.
Bocinas y micrófono: En mi opinión suenan muy bien. Podría mejorarse pero sin duda están por encima del promedio y funcionan súper bien para videollamadas y actividades del estilo. Yo suelo escuchar música mientras trabajo, y es excelente, el sonido es adecuado.
Puertos: Tiene lo suficiente. Sorprende mucho que cuente con un USB C.
Diseño: Es tal como especifica y creo que está perfecto, no demasiado delgado pero adecuado para llevarla a todos lados y no sufrir en el intento. La apariencia es medianamente elegante. El hecho de que esté elaborada con aluminio le da más puntos.
Sacanner de huella: Creo que este es el aditamento que peor funciona. Aunque trato de tenerlo siempre limpio, suele fallar la mitad de las veces.
El procesador y la tarjeta gráfica hace una combinación excelente, más que adecuados para tareas cotidianas. Utilizo programas pesados como Matlab o Mathematica, y funciona perfectamente. Además, programas de diseño y gráficos como Premiere, Illustrator u Origin no tienen mayor problema. La conexión WiFi es excelente también. Por último, la batería cumple con lo que promete. Yo suelo utlizarla en un brillo bajo y en tareas cotidianas como procesadores de texto, navegador, y lector de pdf para lo que suele durarme más de 5 horas una carga completa. La laptop posee una RAM de 8 GB, pero el disco duro es de 256 GB de estado sólido.
En general para mi fue una excelente compra. Recomendable.
