Acer Swift 3 in-depth review

After we've reviewed the 16-inch version of the Acer Swift 3, today, we are going back to the roots, as we're testing the 14-inch SF314-59. It has a familiar design that is now dressed in more vibrant colors.As with the larger model, the 13-inch device stays true to Intel, but instead of the 35W CPUs, they get the 15W Tiger Lake processors. You can max out the laptop with a Core i7-1165G7, and even though there is no dedicated graphics option, we all know how good of a job does the Iris Xe Graphics do.Additionally, this year, the only display option is a 1080p IPS panel, which has been the standard for mobile computing for the past couple of years.You can check the prices and configurations in our Specs System: https://laptopmedia.com/series/acer-swift-3-sf314-59/Spe[...]

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
