Expert tester comments
Acer's Swift 5 is a very lightweight laptop that looks smaller than other 14-inch sized laptops in a line up. It's a slim laptop, yet it still packs in a full-sized HDMI port, but lacks an SD card slot. Performance was solid in our tests, including battery life, and recharging time (to 80 per cent capacity).
