RTINGS

If our cheap recommendations don't interest you or you can afford to spend a little more, the budget range has some great options. The Acer Swift 3 14 (2020) is the best budget laptop under $650 for productivity that we've tested. It's a 14 inch Windows laptop with a very capable Intel 11th Gen processor and 8GB of memory, powerful enough to handle tasks like web browsing, text formatting, and spreadsheets with ease. You can upgrade to a model with more memory if you multitask heavily; however, expect to pay more.

Admittedly, this is a pretty bland-looking laptop, but it feels well-built for its price and is very portable. It has a near 14-hour battery life, so you don't need to lug the charger around with you. The display looks sharp and colorful; however, it doesn't get bright enough for use in well-lit settings or outdoors in broad daylight. The keyboard is decent; the keys have a lot of travel and are easy to actuate, but their tight spacing causes fatigue over time. The touchpad tracks well but is small and doesn't always respond to actions like dragging and dropping.

Most budget laptops compromise on some features, and in this case, it's the webcam. The image looks soft, underexposed, and noisy, and the microphones are far too loud, causing distortion. On the upside, it has a great port selection that includes a full-size HDMI, two USB-As, and a USB-C port with Thunderbolt 4 support. Last but not least, it has a fingerprint sensor so that you can log in quickly. Overall, whether you're looking for a laptop for school or work, this is a good option worth checking out.

Consumer Reports

This midrange laptop comes equipped with an Intel Core i7 processor, 8 gigabytes of memory, and 256GB of solid state storage. We reviewed a model with an i5 processor and came away largely impressed. One interesting note: The laptop supports WiFi 6, which may come in handy if you upgrade your router.

We chose the Acer Swift 3 14 (2020) as a more modest mid-range option. This model is easy to carry around, feels well-built, and has a battery that lasts nearly 14 hours of light use. Its 14-inch display produces sharp images and text and gives you just enough room for some light multitasking. The keyboard feels cramped but decent to type on, and the touchpad is small but reasonably responsive. It has a great port selection, including two USB-As, one USB-C/Thunderbolt 4, a full-size HDMI, and a headphone jack.

Configuration-wise, you can get it with an Intel 11th Gen Core i5 or i7 and up to 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage. Two things to keep in mind: the first is that the display doesn't get very bright, meaning you may have some trouble with glare in well-lit rooms, and second, the webcam is bad as the captured image looks soft and underexposed, and the microphone sounds staticky.

Our mid-range pick is the Acer Swift 3 14 (2020). This thin and light model is very portable, feels well-built, and has a near 14-hour battery life. Its 14-inch display gives you just enough room for light multitasking, and it's flicker-free, which helps reduce eye strain. The keyboard feels decent to type on though it's a little cramped, and the touchpad is reasonably responsive, albeit on the smaller side. You can configure it with an Intel 11th Gen Core i5 or i7 CPU and up to 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage.

Naturally, there are some drawbacks. The first is that the display doesn't get very bright. At 279 cd/m&sup2;, it's only bright enough for use indoors, meaning you may have some trouble with glare in well-lit rooms. Second, the webcam is bad as the captured image looks soft and underexposed, and the microphone sounds staticky, so it's not the best for video calls. Other than that, it's a good option if you don't want to spend too much on a premium model but don't want to go too cheap.

If you're looking for a more modest mid-range model, the Acer Swift 3 14 (2020) is a great option. It's a sturdily built 14-inch Windows laptop with a battery that lasts nearly 14 hours of light use, which is more than enough to get through a typical workday. You can configure it with an Intel 11th Gen Core i5 or i7 CPU and up to 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage. The keyboard feels decent to type on, even though it's a little cramped, and the touchpad is on the smaller side but reasonably responsive. The display looks sharp and gives you just enough room for split-screen multitasking; however, it doesn't get very bright, which means glare might be an issue in well-lit environments or outdoors in broad daylight.

The Acer's port selection is great; you get two USB-As, one USB-C/Thunderbolt 4, a full-size HDMI, and a headphone jack. Unfortunately, the webcam's video quality is bad, as the image looks soft and underexposed, and the microphone sounds staticky.

The Acer Swift 3 14 (2020) is our pick in the more affordable mid-range category. This 14-inch Windows ultraportable feels well-built, is easy to carry around, and has amazing battery life. Its 1080p display looks sharp and provides just enough room for light multitasking, and if you need more space, you can easily connect external monitors, as it has a Thunderbolt 4 and an HDMI port. The keyboard feels slightly cramped but decent to type on, and the touchpad is small but reasonably responsive. You can configure it with an Intel 11th Gen. Core i5 or i7 and up to 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage. Our main gripe with this laptop is the screen brightness. It's fine for most indoor settings but isn't bright enough for very well-lit or sunny environments. It has a fingerprint sensor, so you can log in quickly and get to work.

If you want to save some money with a more modest mid-range option, go with the Acer Swift 3 14 (2020). It's a sturdily built ultraportable with a battery that lasts nearly 14 hours of light use. You can configure it with an Intel 11th Gen Core i5 or i7 and up to 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage. Its 14-inch display looks sharp and provides enough room for split-screen multitasking, but it doesn't get very bright, so it isn't ideal for well-lit settings or outdoors in broad daylight. The keyboard feels decent to type on; it just feels a little cramped. As for the touchpad, it's on the smaller side but reasonably responsive to all movements and gestures. The only major complaint is the webcam, as the image looks soft and underexposed, and the microphone sounds staticky. On the upside, you get a great port selection that includes two USB-As, one USB-C/Thunderbolt 4, a full-size HDMI, and a headphone jack.

If you don't need a premium model and prefer to save some money with a more modest mid-range option, get the Acer Swift 3 14 (2020), a thin and light 14-inch Windows laptop. It feels sturdily built, it's easy to carry around, and its battery lasts nearly 14 hours of light use. The display looks sharp and provides enough room for split-screen multitasking, although it doesn't get very bright, meaning you might have some visibility issues in well-lit settings or outdoors in broad daylight.

The keyboard feels a little cramped but still decent to type on, and while the touchpad is on the smaller side, it's reasonably responsive to all movements and gestures. Its port selection is great; you get two USB-As, one USB-C/Thunderbolt 4, a full-size HDMI, and a headphone jack. Our only major complaint is that the webcam's video quality isn't very good, and the microphone sounds staticky.

 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

I'll keep looking in the meantime. Rooting for AMD to keep pushing out awesome processors at an amazing value, just hope we can get to a higher level of refinement :)

Conflicted

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

 Boot time is practically negligible (actually, it's like 10 seconds or less, but this is good time in my opinion). More than likely the result of the combination of a Ryzen 5 processor and an SSD. I picked an AMD processor this time around because for this generation, AMD > Intel.  3

 The performance, build quality and style factor for the price are really good. Recommended.

 Really and truly, this is a very small issue, as they cut back on something that the user could improve on themselves if they really need to - a smart decision, compared to say, only having a Ryzen 3 processor, or only 4 GB of soldered memory without any RAM slots.  Overall, I'm really pleased with the purchase. The performance, build quality and style factor for the price are really good. Recommended

  2. It's fast. Boot time is practically negligible (actually, it's like 10 seconds or less, but this is good time in my opinion). More than likely the result of the combination of a Ryzen 5 processor and an SSD

Great little beast

 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

Great, easy to use laptop

 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 1080p screen as uh the base swift 3, which costs about half the price from this 1100 or pound. Asking price it's a little hard to swallow and you could get a slightly better spec swift, 5 for similar money, or, if you don't mind going to a mac, i think for most people, the m1 powered macbook air would just be a better buy. Although of course, you are losing out on the xe max graphics, and if you do want to do a bit of light to moderate gaming on an ultra portable laptop, then this is still a good option because of course mac doesn't have the same game library. But i can't help thinking that the swift 3 has maybe just lost its edge a little bit when it comes to value for money

Acer Swift 3 2021 Review - WAIT!

 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

This laptop is great! It came in the mail about 10 days ago, but I’ve only started using it in the past three days for school. I’m an English major so I don’t know how it would do for more intense coding, gaming, etc. I’ve mostly been using Zoom, BBCollaborate, and D2L Brightspace for classes (with multiple tabs open, as well as one or two Word docs all at once) and I’ve had zero problems with speed. There was one time when I left it open for a while and it acted like it wasn’t going to wake up, but after a moment it did with no more problems

Great laptop for students on a budget!

  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

Great computer!

The 14-inch HP Stream, for example, is only $220 in the US and £200 in the UK. As long as your needs don't leap too far beyond watching YouTube clips, sending email and using web apps, you're golden. (HP doesn't offer the Stream in a 14-inch size in Australia, but there is the HP 14-am034tu for AU$500, which is similarly configured, but with a 500GB hard drive instead of a 32GB eMMC.)HP Stream 14 (14-ax010nr)  Price as reviewed $220, £200 Display size/resolution 14-inch 1,366x768 displayPC CPU  1

 It simply doesn't have the processor power or memory to drive anything too demanding. It even struggled with Chrome once it had a half a dozen tabs open (Edge performance was better, though). While the performance might not blow you away, the battery life is impressive: The Stream 14 ran for 8 hours on our online streaming test. For more simple tasks like word processing, you should be able to hit more than 9 hours

 With the Stream 14, HP once again shows that a Windows laptop for email and online apps can be attractive and inexpensive. It has its issues, but it's $220 and that's hard to argue with.

HP Stream 14 review:
        This laptop's best feature is its rock-bottom price

If you have less than $500 to spend on a new Windows notebook, you could do worse than the HP Laptop 14-dq2020nr, but be prepared to live with its limitations.

24 pounds, making it just a bit heftier than the rival Asus VivoBook S14 (0.63 by 12.8 by 8.4 inches and 3

The HP fell short of the 4,000 points that indicates excellent productivity in PCMark 10, but it came close enough to satisfy everyday Microsoft Office or Google Docs users. Most of today's solid-state drives breeze through PCMark 8's storage measurement, though the HP's SATA M.2 drive is a tick slower than the PCI Express SSDs found in most modern notebooks.&nbsp;
