Biometric recognition authentication is also possible via Windows Hello technology and the integrated fingerprint reader.
A backlighting system also equips the chiclet keyboard which is very practical for distinguishing its keys in case of reduced ambient light.
The chiclet keyboard can be backlit which is very practical to distinguish its keys if the ambient light is limited.

Performances, battery life of Acer Swift 3 SF314-42-R7AG
The Acer Swift 3 SF314-42-R7AG is a compact High Definition compact laptop designed for everyday versatile use on the go.
Its transport is greatly facilitated by its contained weight, its compactness and its lightness. Nomads who want to use their laptop for several hours away from a power outlet because in terms of battery life, we can expect about 12 hours on battery in light use.
However, this thin and light laptop as easily transportable as an Ultrabook delivers good general performance that is suitable for many users.
Because it\’s equipped with an AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ryzen 7 4700U Renoir low-power Octo Core processor and a good amount of above-average 16GB RAM to see it coming.
Certainly to often perform work that consumes processor resources, it is better to turn to a PC with a non-low-power processor, but battery life necessarily suffers.
In any case, despite the absence of a dedicated on-board graphics card, the Radeon Vega 7 graphics solution integrated into the Octo Core Ryzen 7 Renoir is capable of running undemanding games in addition to of course allowing you to watch photos and videos. . The Radeon Vega 7 is indeed positioned at the level of an entry-level dedicated graphics card and is therefore significantly more efficient than the UHD 620 of Intel processors.
In terms of storage, Acer here chooses an SSD which clearly reinforces the responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to a simple hard drive.Concretely, thanks to the SSD, we benefit for example from much faster software launches, processing and starts / stops, or even faster arrival on the cards of online games.

An SSD is indeed much faster than a hard drive but also more energy efficient, more resistant to shocks and silent. Here the SSD offers a capacity of 512 GB, which corresponds to the standard of hard disks.
But if you need more, you can obviously rely on an external storage unit. Favoring a USB 3.0 / USB-C device then represents an interesting option to benefit from fast transfers.
