In addition to launching its ultra-portable 13.3-inch Swift 3 laptops, Acer also introduced revamped versions of its more traditional 14-inch Swift 3 notebooks on Wednesday. The new mobile PCs sport Intel’s latest Whiskey Lake-U processors along with a slimmer design and a longer battery life.
The Acer Swift 3 SF314-55-series notebooks outfitted with a 14-inch Full-HD display are based around Intel’s latest quad-core Core i7-8565U/Core i5-8265U CPUs, or dual-core Core i3-8145U processors that belong to the Whiskey Lake-U family. The new CPUs are accompanied by 4 or 8 GB of DDR4 memory, a PCIe/NVMe SSD featuring up to 512 GB capacity, and an optional NVIDIA GeForce MX150 discrete GPU.
On the connectivity side of things, the Acer Swift 3 (SF314-55/SF314-55G) comes equipped with an 802.11ac + Bluetooth module, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, an USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port, a HDMI output, a TRRS audio connector, a SD card reader, an optional fingerprint scanner, and a Windows Hello-compliant webcam. The manufacturer does not disclose capacity of the battery for the Swift 3 SF314-55-series laptops, but says that it lasts 12 hours on one charge, which is about two hours longer than on previous-gen models.
