Acer Swift 3 vs Asus VivoBook 15

But there are plenty of drawbacks that give me pause. Update: I ended up returning this laptop as the freezeups were happening more, even after I finished doing all of the windows/driver updates. Perhaps those will be fixed in future firmware patches, but I'd rather get a computer that functions "correctly" from day one. It's weird because as I mentioned, overall performance of this laptop is very impressive and far outshines my old 2 core macbook pro, but I don't have the same freezeups on the mac (running windows) - I imagine that this has something to do with lack of AMD drivers or something

If you are even thinking about gaming, the answer is no. Seeing as this laptop has such limited uses with the horrible screen and speakers, I cannot give this laptop a better review that 3 stars. It's only purpose is to view webpages and basic coffee-shop work.

Usually, to get a laptop of this size and this 'thinness', with this performance, you'd have to be looking at at least $1000. I'm happy with this laptop because: 1. It's really light. Not the lightest laptop ever, but it is just so

4. One of the main things I like about this computer is that it is light weight especially at the price, your getting a relatively light weight computer with a fairly standard size keyboard and screen without paying Apple prices. Cons: 1

Also, I really love the size of this laptop. It is not thick and bulky at all. It is very thin and lightweight and is great for traveling and being able to work on the go. Overall, i'm a big fan of this laptop and all it's features

The overall size is great, it's very small for a 15.6 laptop. I like the way the plastics look, very high quality. The keyboard is back lit which is nice

They do start to look and feel a little bit cheap, considering how much they cost and when you consider the top end 3x has the same pretty average 108...

bang for Buck and don't need the 450M because of the dual channel 16 gigs of 3200 memory.

The charger plug doesn’t fit nicely into the computer. I have to push it in harder than I would like to get it to charge, and I always worry that it’s going to break. However, the battery life is so great that I’ve only had to charge it once in the past three days. I’ll update later when I’ve spent more time with it

* Asus Vivobook 15 (R5 5500U) - the battery is smaller than the Aspire at 42Wh, but maybe that would be offset by better power efficiency of the 5500U, however its port selection is not that great and I've heard that the quality of vivobooks is not that great. * Lenovo Thinkbook 15 Gen 2 (R5 4500U) - it has the weakest CPU in this list, but paired with a 45Wh battery I feel like the battery life should be decent.

The screen resolution is phenomenal. The setup could not have been easier. As with all Windows products, you have to disable Edge and Cortana but that is easy to do. I would highly recommend this computer
