Hummingbird is the lightest bird in the world. Acer’s Hummingbird series notebooks are named after the Hummingbird series and are naturally known for their lightness. Today I’d like to share my experience with you on a thin and light laptop from Acer. Everyone, please note that for Acer acer, the word "碁" has "qi" on the top and "Shi" on the bottom. It is pronounced qi and has the same pronunciation as Hongqi sedan. Don't mispronounce it for many years like me.
Appearance part
Since it is famous for being a thin and light notebook, let’s first take a look at the weight of the notebook.
Directly on the scale, the net weight of the notebook is 1.09kg (official data is 1.19kg), which is lighter than the MacBook Air and Microsoft Surface laptop, which are famous for being thin and light, and is basically the same weight as two bottles of Fat House Happy Water. This is the first time I have seen such a thin and light notebook.
The actual thickness of the notebook is 16mm, which is slightly thicker than two "Men's Wear" magazines (13.7mm). Is Men's Wear getting thinner? If you still have no idea how light it is, then take a look at a simple comparison.
has chosen a popular thin and light notebook that is also equipped with Intel tenth generation Core processor and Nvidia MX250 graphics card .
The lightest popular notebook from a friend is only 1.5kg, which is nearly 400g heavier than the Hummingbird Swift 3, which is equivalent to the weight of an iPad Air. Acer’s optimization is evident.
Of course, I am not a loyal follower of thin and light notebooks. I usually use this MPB15. I am used to using fitness equipment, and when I hold the Hummingbird Swift 3 in my hand, I feel like I am holding an iPad. I can even pick up this computer with two fingers. If it were any other laptop, it would have been shattered on the ground.
Although it is thin and light, the key parts of the notebook have not shrunk. Its shell is made of metal, which is strong and wear-resistant. It is thin and light as standard. The colors of
are currently available in gray and pink, which seems a bit sparse, but should gradually increase in the future.
In terms of interfaces, on the left side of the fuselage are 19V interface power supply, HDMI, USB3.0 and ultra-high-bandwidth Thunderbolt 3 interface
. I need to complain, it is 2020, and it is a bit rare to still use 19V interface power supply. And on the right side of this power supply are the headphone jack, USB port and computer lock.
When I saw the computer lock, I couldn’t help but think of my time in the dormitory. This is an anti-theft tool in the dormitory. It seems that I haven’t seen this design in many years.
Turning over the screen, you’ll find a standard 14-inch narrow bezel design, with an official screen-to-body ratio of 84%, an NTSC color gamut of 72%, and an anti-glare design, so it performs pretty well.
The keyboard cannot escape the fate of soft keys. The upper right corner is for power and the lower part is for fingerprints. It is safe and convenient to use.
In terms of appearance design, Hummingbird swift 3 is extremely thin and light and is also equipped with rich interfaces. It provides considerable convenience for daily use, especially in outdoor office environments.
However, when it comes to thin and light notebooks, many people will have doubts about their performance. Let’s take a look at the performance of this Hummingbird swift 3 notebook.
The core hardware is as follows. The processor is Intel's tenth generation Core i5-1035G1, 8GB memory, 512GB PCIe SSD, and Nvidia MX250 independent graphics . It is considered a mainstream consumer level. Of course, the most eye-catching part is the processor part.
Let’s take a look at this processor. The i5-1035G1 toothpaste factory is currently one of the main models of low-voltage processors. The official website parameters show that it is built using a 10nm process, with a four-core and eight-thread design. The main frequency is 1.00GHz and the dynamic acceleration frequency is 3.6GHz. . Integrated wifi6 and thunderbolt 3 support, comprehensive functions and improved performance.
I won’t go into details about the G1 suffix core display equipped with the graphics card. The focus is on the MX250. Its performance is equivalent to that of an entry-level desktop graphics card. It can be said to be the standard configuration of this year’s thin and light notebook. The measured performance of the two is as follows.
3DMark11 scored P3900+, Master Lu’s scored 16w+. The performance is similar to the notebook with Ryzen 500U processor next door.
Daily tasks such as cutting a video and editing photos using PS can be easily handled.
In terms of games, the frame rate of League of Legends is stable at more than 120 frames, and the highest is around 160 frames.
CSGO can reach about 70 frames, but if you want to run CSGO smoothly, you must do a good job in heat dissipation. Otherwise, as a thin and light notebook, it will inevitably become a three-minute real man.
Due to time constraints, the performance test is relatively simple. Overall, the performance of this product is similar to that of current thin and light notebooks at the same price, and is on the same level as Ryzen 5 and the eighth-generation i5. There is no problem at all for daily gaming, but the body is too thin and light, and the heat dissipation is slightly weak. It does not matter for daily coding. If you are gaming, it is recommended to use it with a special radiator.
Generally speaking, Hummingbird swift 3 has achieved a very good level in terms of thinness and lightness. With basically the same configuration, it is nearly 400g lighter than the products of its competitors, which greatly improves the portability and is suitable for people who often carry computers when going out. People provide convenience.
In terms of hardware configuration, compared with products in the same price range, it is quite satisfactory. If you have the need to go out frequently to work and code, and at the same time have low demand for gaming and entertainment, then this thin and light notebook is worth considering.
