Acer Swift 3 SF314-42-R7LH 2-in-1 laptop Ryzen 5 4500U 8GB 256GB 14" FHD IPS

14-inch convertible with Ryzen 5 hexa-core

The Acer Swift 3 SF314-42-R7LH is a new 14-inch 2-in-1 laptop built around an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U hexa-core processor that boosts to 4.0 GHz with integrated Radeon graphics. It ships with 8 GB of LPDDR4 memory and a 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD. The Full HD IPS display runs at 1920 x 1080 resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Wireless connectivity uses Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 and Bluetooth 5.0.

Best for mobile professionals needing pen and touch

This convertible suits users who want a lightweight 1.2 kg device with a backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader and HD webcam for secure login and video calls. The 11.5-hour battery rating supports all-day work away from a desk. Buyers who need more than 8 GB of RAM or a larger SSD should look elsewhere, as memory is soldered and storage is a single NVMe drive.

Single 256 GB NVMe drive limits local storage

The 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD is the only internal drive bay, so the decision hinges on whether that capacity fits the workload. Users with large media libraries or multiple virtual machines will need external storage or cloud sync.

Wi-Fi 6 and USB-C with DisplayPort

Connectivity centres on Wi-Fi 6 AX200, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort alt mode and charging, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 port with power-off charging, one USB 2.0 port and an HDMI output.
