Are there any alternatives?

The HP Pavilion Plus 14 is a strong competitor, coming in at $850 (on sale) for a machine with solid performance and a gorgeous 2.8K OLED display running at 90Hz. It can’t match the Swift 3’s battery life, however.

　　Lenovo’s Yoga 9i Gen 7 is a solid alternative if your wallet is a bit thicker. Its spectacular design, fantastic OLED display, and solid battery life are worth the extra money.

　　Finally, you opt for the new Apple MacBook Air M2. It’s more expensive at $1,200, with less RAM at 8GB and storage at 256GB, but it will offer faster performance and much longer battery life. And its build quality is second to none.

　　

How long will it last?

The Swift 3 is built well enough to last for years of productive service, with components to match. The industry-standard one-year warranty is just OK at this price point.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. The Acer Swift 3 is fast and offers strong battery life, making it a good choice among a competitive field of 14-inch laptops.
