It is possible to authenticate through biometric recognition using the integrated fingerprint reader and Windows Hello technology.

The chiclet keyboard can of course be illuminated, which is practical for better distinguishing the keys when the ambient light is limited.

As the screen accepts sRGB and IPS specifications, it will be of interest to those looking for more faithful than average colors with significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles. The screen is also very well suited to displaying videos and, more broadly, High Definition content, thanks to its 16:9 format and Full HD resolution. Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the display is also more readable in brighter environments (such as outdoors) than a glossy panel.
Performance, Acer Swift 3 SF314-511-51VQ autonomy

Although the app doesn’t have a dedicated graphics card, you can actually view photos and videos, as well as play simple games.
This is thanks to the Iris Xe graphics module (tested by us) directly integrated into the processor.
This is a low power Intel Tiger Lake Quad Core i7-1165G7. It is paired with 16 GB of RAM to provide good overall performance that can satisfy a number of users.
And on the capacity side? SSD offers 512 GB as standard for hard drives.
But if you need more space, you can use an external storage device. Opting for a USB 3.0 / USB-C / Thunderbolt device is an interesting option to take advantage of fast transfers.
