If the design of this new Swift 3 does not fundamentally change from the previous, the chassis welcomes a new red color that should emulate.

The keyboard is backlit in white and makes typing easier in the dark.
Renewal question, it is especially the format of the ultrabook which was revised and corrected. If the size remains the same (323 x 228 mm), the Swift 3 SF314-55-703E loses about 4 mm in thickness ( 14.9 mm ) and about 15 grams on the scale ( 1.35 kg ).
Autonomy is still part of the arguments of Swift 3 and total here over 9 hours in Web browsing with active WiFi. It\’s satisfying and perfect for nomads.
The projectors are focused on the latest generation processor Whiskey Lake Quad Core i7-8565U low consumption that is responsible for propelling the ultrabook. This CPU supplants its predecessor (i7-8550U Kaby Lake Refresh) thanks to a higher Turbo Boost frequency (4.6 Ghz) and a finer engraving with a real gain of around 10%. This translates into use by full support for common usage (Web browsing, Office processing, video) and a sharp mastery in more demanding applications, requiring multicore architecture (video editing, Photoshop pushed, Lightroom …). The 8 GB RAM is enough to enjoy a smooth multitasking .
In the center of this Acer Swift 3 SF314-55-703E also shines a beautiful Full HD IPS matte screen with 6 mm side edges . It takes advantage of a dense Full HD definition (1920 x 1080 px) that allows you to make the most of High Definition content while the IPS panel favors immersion with a perfectly readable display from any angle of approach and a balanced colorimetry. Acer preserves its matt ComfyView slab , more visibility if you are working outdoors or traveling by train for example.
Storage is another significant element since it is entrusted to a 512 GB SSD that will significantly strengthen the overall responsiveness of the system on a daily basis. Overall quieter, more robust, and more energy efficient than a mechanical drive, it allows Windows to achieve a remarkable level of fluidity with short load times and latency-free operation. What\’s more, its capacity is not ridiculous and can host a good part of your toy library.
Finally, the connector loses a USB port but otherwise accommodates everything needed in standard formats. There are three USB ports including two USB 3.1 and a versatile USB Type-C , an SD card reader, an HDMI output and a biometric reader (under the keyboard, right) to secure your data and authenticate to your session with a simple touch of the finger. The Wifi modules AC and Bluetooth 5.0 of last generation are also on the menu.
