Acer Swift 3 in-depth review

In this year's CES, Acer unveiled some very interesting Swift 3 notebooks. One of them is the 13.5" Swift 3 (SF313-52).

Remove the bottom plate Nothing too exciting here - 11 Torx-head screws holding the bottom plate and some clips, which should be pried up with a plastic tool. A cool tip would be to start from the backside, around the hinges, as it is the easiest way we found.2. Battery On the battery side, there is a quite big 55.9Wh unit.3.

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.
