Product Information

It’s not a massive drawback relative to other affordable laptops, but once again, the general level of fit and finish elsewhere led me to hope for (if not quite expect) a little better. The keyboard is the usual MacBook-inspired chiclet affair and a pretty solid example of the form at that. I’m testing the top specification here, but the performance level doesn’t vary all that wildly across the range.

In our standard looping video test at 120 nits brightness, the laptop lasted 15 hours 12 minutes before it gave up the ghost. Credit subject to status, UK residents only, FIVE TECH LIMITED acts as a broker and offers finance from PayPal Credit.

Sat in between those two spec bookends are a handful of variations on the theme, with an assortment of humble processors, RAM allotments, and storage capacities. Another notable design inclusion – for an ostensibly affordable laptop line, at least – is a fingerprint reader. You'll enjoy a familiar interface with enhanced features and robust security, ensuring your digital world remains protected. Whichever variation of the Acer Swift 1 SF114-34 you choose, you’re getting the same basic formula – a laptop that’s built to perform basic tasks in style.
