# original innovator # pure light - acer Acer Swift 5 (SF514-51-558U) thin and light notebook

The plan to start a light-weight book is long and it is short and short. Due to work reasons, there are many business trips. To go to the construction site, it is necessary to process files, see drawings, and even change CAD drawings or something. Bringing my own 12.9-inch iPad Pro, in addition to being asked various questions "can not draw?", "how much money?", "What is this?", I feel really like no eggs look like ... So change the band The unit assigned to the department's notebook, but if you catch up with other colleagues to borrow, you can only use the acer V3-571 bought in college time ... a few times down, the only feeling - Shen!

Ever since, the plan for buying a notebook for business trips has surfaced. Let's make a few points:

1, must be light and thin.

2. 72% NTSC IPS screen must be used.

3, U7 must be 7th generation i5.

The first point is undoubtedly that there have been several trips back to the old computer experience, thin and light is just needed for me. The second point is sensitive to the loss of the old laptop screen. The third point is that this light and thin book almost does not bring independence, and my travel may be due to a little bit of game demand, 7-generation U's nuclear performance is more powerful than the 6th generation U slightly.

Ever since, the goal has been reduced to the following four models, acer Swift5; Lenovo's new Air13 Pro One Piece Edition; XPS13 9360; Surface pro4. correct! To tell a joke, the 7000 is also called light and thin.

The rest is to do the elimination.

The first to exclude is the Surface pro4. There is only one reason - the screen is too small. In the above CAD job I guess it will collapse.

Then the XPS13 was excluded. To be honest, when Jingdong engaged in activities 7198, I even had already placed orders. In the end, my reasons for persuasion were two. First, although 7198 is a good price, it is still expensive for my needs. Now. The second is that I feel that entering XPS is like entering a macbook, which requires faith, and I don't believe in a foolish family.

The last to rule out is the small new Air13 pro, one is because of the problem of the previous generation of TDP, although 7-generation U power consumption is reduced, but still do not worry; Second, personal reasons, do not like conscience like this brand; third is to the physical store After watching the real machine, although it is an all-metal body, the details of the work are touching. give up.

Then finally ---

Shocked! What about my computer? !

It turns out this...

I have always felt that Acer's brand is really a low-key presence in the computer market.

In this Lenovo Xiaoxin to Luhan, One Piece Crazy promotion of various endorsements; Sophie XPS own belief in Halo; Hewlett-Packard has invited Yang Yang, Asus all invited Zhao Liying's age, you even such a notebook in the Jingdong even models are not search To? ? ? What ghost? ? ?

After I got the hand, I discovered that this model was finally on the shelf and was divided into a specification under the frame of the aircraft carrier's swift3 "micro frame [XXX]". Acer you really do not see the family Swift5 this series?

However, this is exactly the case. There are few people to buy, at least avoiding the risk of collision, coupled with his sharp design, I call it a high-profile low-key.

Speaking of design, from the time of buying the first Acer notebook, I was inexplicably fond of Acer's sense of design, the 5745 series of angular appearance, and the 3830TG of the TimelineX series that came out later really surprised me, and then decentralized the design language. With my second notebook V3-571. To today's swift5.

Of course, the design of this thing, radish vegetables have their own love, in short, it is my appetite. A side of the metal has been made of vertical stripes so that you can not see the metal, B side of the 13-inch body hard into a 14-inch screen achievements narrow border, C surface is still fine brushed metal panel, D Face-type skin layer, with the shaft cutting shape of the blessing, low-key introverted and unassuming, aggressive and sharp without compromise, contradictory and unified.

Speaking of so many subjective points, here's to talk about its shortcomings, the machine is not finished ~

First of all, Cheng also screen, defeat also screen.

Swift5 uses 14 inch 1920X1080 72% ntsc color gamut IPS screen, this specification has been in the notebook in the high-end screen, and also meet my requirements. However, in actual use, the following problems have been discovered:

1. The screen is yellowish. This seems to be a common problem, is trying to use the method to adjust the color of the load icc file to solve, temporarily did not find the appropriate configuration file, found the right value of the configuration file, please contact me!

2. Assembling error, slightly wrong. Quality control tricks, no solutions ~~~

3. The low-end IPS is faulty and leaks light. In addition to changing the screen, there is still no solution ~~~

Second, the material.

The so-called all-metal fuselage, in fact, played the crowning touch to the whole body most like the hinge part of the metal material is actually a plastic ... Acer you want me to say what we do! ! !

Finally, take the SATAIII SSD and LPDDR3 memory.

How I want PCIe! How I wish DDR4.....................

My computer started with ideas and purchases. It took a total of one week. Screening models took one day. In the end, Tmall started with a price of 5299. In fact, this price, starting with a metal body, 14-inch, 1080 72% ntsc color IPS, i5 7200U + 8G + 256G SSD configuration of the machine, be worth the price. As for slag, SATAIII does not give DDR4 and so on. It is also a trade-off under this price, and it is reluctant to accept it.

You may find that I have not written a description of any performance throughout the article, because I think that the current light and thin market, the model determines the configuration, configuration is basically set performance. The configuration of the A factory i5 7200U+8G+256G SSD is not much different from that of the B plant i5 7200U+8G+256G SSD, and at most the impact of the power wall is considered. In addition, the light and thin itself is also used for some light applications, not so much emphasis on performance.

The rest is to see that in the coming time, this book can not satisfy my needs at work and contribute to the realization of socialism.
