|
Tiger Lake moves ahead. The Acer Swift 5 SF514 comes with Intel's EVO label and combines a Tiger Lake CPU with a slim design and good mobility. Our detailed review clarifies what buyers can expect from the 14-inch laptop. Show With the introduction of Intel's EVO platform, there is now a quite useful label marking laptops that possess some key specifics. Currently these always include Tiger Lake CPUs, a slim build, a specific battery life, and a required brightness of the display. How well these features are implemented is shown for example by our tests of the MSI Prestige 14 EVO, the Schenker Vision 15, and the Dell XPS 13 9310. The Acer Swift 5 SF514-55T also belongs to the laptops with an EVO label. In our test unit configuration, it competes with an Intel Core i5-1135G7, the internal Intel Iris Xe graphics, 8 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD against the competitors listed below. Below each section, you can also add more laptops from our database to the comparison.

Acer has manufactured the case of the Swift 5 SF514 from a magnesium-aluminum alloy, making it very light but also extremely robust. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla glass, and the whole laptop is covered by a coating layer that was created based on silver ions and is supposed to have an antimicrobial effect, according to Acer. This goes for the whole laptop, including the rubber feet, keyboard, and hinges. The latter allow a display opening angle of about 140 degrees and always keep the display tightly in its position. In the comparison with other laptops of its class, the Acer Swift 5 SF514 offers similarly small dimensions. These are about the same as the Asus ZenBook 14, with that being even slightly slimmer. However, at a weight of only 1 kg (~2,2 lb), the Acer laptop is the lightest in our test field.

However, you have to make do without a storage card reader. The Acer Swift 5 SF514 is able to create wireless connections via WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. While the WLAN speeds when transferring data using our Netgear Nighthawk AX12 reference router turn out very good at 1329 Mbit/s on average, when receiving data it is only sufficient for the last place in our test field with an average of 744 Mbit/s. 050100150200250300350400450500550600650700750800850900950100010501100115012001250130013501400Tooltip Like many manufacturers, Acer also uses only a low-resolution webcam with 0.9 MP in the Swift 5 SF514. The image quality turns out correspondingly meager, blurring the contents even in good light conditions. 17.6 ∆E 25.1 ∆E 20.3 ∆E 15.8 ∆E 17.1 ∆E 17.5 ∆E 24.8 ∆E 20.8 ∆E 21.4 ∆E 15.5 ∆E 14.8 ∆E 16 ∆E 13.7 ∆E 20.3 ∆E 24.5 ∆E 13.2 ∆E 18.1 ∆E 17.9 ∆E 2.9 ∆E 12 ∆E 21 ∆E 18.7 ∆E 12.1 ∆E 6.8 ∆E ColorChecker Acer Swift 5 SF514-55T-58DN: 16.99 ∆E min: 2.9 - max: 25.09 ∆E The box of the Swift 5 SF514 only contains the laptop and its power supply. However, Acer offers numerous general accessories on its own website. The Acer laptop can be opened after removing all the visible screws at the bottom of the case. Once inside, you can only replace the SSD and the WLAN module, since the rest of the components are soldered in. Acer offers buyers of the Swift 5 SF514 a warranty period of 24 months. KeyboardThe keys of the Swift 5 SF514 offer a clearly noticeable pressure point that could almost be called "crisp." After a short period of getting used to the keyboard, typing tasks can be accomplished easily. There is also a single-step keyboard illumination. As mouse replacement, Acer uses a ClickPad in the Swift 5 SF514. The surface is well suited for navigation of the mouse pointer, and clicks are recognized reliably via mechanical pressure as well as touch input. In addition, there is the 14-inch touchscreen which is very responsive to touch inputs, reliably implementing the commands in the system. The display of the Acer Swift 5 SF514 consists of a 14-inch touch-capable IPS panel that offers a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The maximum brightness is 377 cd/m² on average, which makes it the highest in our test field. On the other hand, at 79%, the brightness distribution is the lowest. In addition to the screen used here, the Swift 5 SF514 is also available without a touchscreen. Since PWM is not used for brightness control, users with sensitive eyes should not have to expect any difficulties. 363 cd/m²377 cd/m²367 cd/m²343 cd/m²404 cd/m²397 cd/m²329 cd/m²418 cd/m²399 cd/m² Distribution of brightness AU Optronics AUO7490 tested with X-Rite i1Pro 2 Maximum: 418 cd/m² (Nits) Average: 377.4 cd/m² Minimum: 22 cd/m² Brightness Distribution: 79 % Center on Battery: 407 cd/m² Contrast: 1616:1 (Black: 0.25 cd/m²) ΔE Color 1.47 | 0.5-29.43 Ø5.1, calibrated: 0.84 ΔE Greyscale 1.7 | 0.57-98 Ø5.3 98% sRGB (Argyll 1.6.3 3D) 63% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 1.6.3 3D) 68.3% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) 98.3% sRGB (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) 67% Display P3 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) Gamma: 2.35 Acer Swift 5 SF514-55T-58DN AU Optronics AUO7490, IPS, 1920x1080, 14.00Lenovo ThinkPad L14-20U50003GE N140HCA-EAC, IPS, 1920x1080, 14.00MSI Prestige 14 Evo A11M-005 AUO B140HAN06.2 (AUO623D), IPS-Level, 1920x1080, 14.00Asus ZenBook 14 UX425EA AU Optronics B140HAN06.8, IPS, 1920x1080, 14.00Display -37% 3% 1% Display P3 Coverage 67 41.96 -37% 68.8 3% 68.6 2% sRGB Coverage 98.3 63 -36% 99.4 1% 98.3 0% AdobeRGB 1998 Coverage 68.3 43.37 -37% 70.9 4% 69.8 2% Response Times -76% -117% -77% Response Time Grey 50% / Grey 80% * 30 (2, 28) 42 (21.6, 20.4) -40% 59.6 (26.4, 33.2) -99% 49.6 (27.6, 22) -65% Response Time Black / White * 14 (3, 11) 29.6 (15.6, 14) -111% 32.8 (16.4, 16.4) -134% 26.4 (13.2, 13.2) -89% PWM FrequencyScreen -114% -36% -22% Brightness middle 404 259 -36% 293 -27% 375.1 -7% Brightness 377 244 -35% 277 -27% 371 -2% Brightness Distribution 79 92 16% 89 13% 91 15% Black Level * 0.25 0.21 16% 0.18 28% 0.34 -36% Contrast 1616 1233 -24% 1628 1% 1103 -32% Colorchecker dE 2000 * 1.47 4.3 -193% 2.95 -101% 1.79 -22% Colorchecker dE 2000 max. * 2.6 17.7 -581% 6.03 -132% 3.05 -17% Colorchecker dE 2000 calibrated * 0.84 3.8 -352% 0.9 -7% 1.79 -113% Greyscale dE 2000 * 1.7 1.5 12% 4.2 -147% 2.3 -35% Gamma 2.35 94% 2.04 108% 2.099 105% 2.29 96% CCT 6662 98% 6609 98% 6622 98% 6405 101% Color Space (Percent of AdobeRGB 1998) 63 40 -37% 71 13% 63.9 1% Color Space (Percent of sRGB) 98 62.9 -36% 93 -5% 98.8 1% Total Average (Program / Settings) -76% /-94% -50% /-39% -33% /-25% * ... smaller is better According to our measurements, the display of the Swift 5 SF514 offers a very good contrast ratio of 1616:1 and a good black value of 0.25 cd/m². With 98% (sRGB) and 63% (AdobeRGB), the color space coverage is also very good. In addition, the CalMAN analysis show that colors are reproduced with only few deviations already in the state of delivery. However, a calibration still brings some small improvements. You can download the corresponding ICC file in the link above, to the right of the graphic on the brightness distribution of the display. Due to the reflective display surface, the Acer Swift 5 SF514 is only suitable to a limited extent for usage outdoors. While the high brightness still allows you to work in the shade, there are too many reflections in direct sunlight. Display Response Timesℹ Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times. ↔ Response Time Black to White14 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3 ms rise ↘ 11 ms fallThe screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 28 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.8 ms). ↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey30 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 2 ms rise ↘ 28 ms fallThe screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 33 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (34.2 ms). Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)ℹ To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether. Screen flickering / PWM not detected In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18493 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. The viewing angles of the Acer laptop's IPS panel are very stable. The display contents can be read from almost any angle without too many distortions or color deviations. With the Swift 5 SF514, Acer targets users who are looking for a light laptop with a good system performance to take along with them on the road. Buyers have the choice of several processors from Intel's Tiger Lake generation that also have an influence on the price. There are also several configurations of storage and working memory, depending on your selection of equipment. For users with a slightly higher demand on the 3D performance, some models with Nvidia's GeForce MX350 are also available. The Intel Core i5-1135G7 used here is a quad-core processor from Intel's Tiger Lake generation. Its clock speeds lie between 2.4 and 4.2 GHz, with the configured TDP and cooling system being the determining factors on the performance. Acer has configured the Swift 5 with a PL2 of 64 watts and PL1 of 28 watts, allowing it to reach the maximum performance of the i5-1135G7 at least in theory. In our Cinebench R15 constant load test, the CPU starts with a good value. Even though this drops over time, it still turns out better than the Intel Core i7-1165G7 in the Asus ZenBook 14, for example. The Swift 5 SF514 also shows itself significantly more powerful than other laptops with the i5-1135G7 such as the Lenovo ThinkPad L13. In the single benchmarks, the CPU in the Acer laptop achieves an above-average result, with the multi-core value in particular turning out higher than for other laptops with the Intel Core i5-1135G7. 050100150200250300350400450500550600650700750800850900Tooltip Cinebench R20 / CPU (Single Core)MSI Prestige 14 Evo A11M-005 Intel Core i7-1185G7 579 Points +11% Average of class Office (181.3 -

The warmest spot is in the back area of the center, with the palm rests always remaining cool. This means that you can also use the laptop also easily under load and operate it on your lap, for example. During our about hour-long constant load test, the temperatures inside the Swift 5 SF514 rose up to 97 °C (207 °F). Until the end of the test, these were lowered by the cooling system down to an average value of about 60 °C (140 °F), with the clock speeds being lower than the basic clock speed at an average of 1.5 GHz. However, the system could still be operated smoothly. Since a load as in our stress test is almost impossible in everyday operation, users don't need to expect any limitations due to temperatures being too high. 32.5 °C 91 F33.9 °C 93 F31.2 °C 88 F 32.8 °C 91 F34.5 °C 94 F27.9 °C 82 F 28.1 °C 83 F27.6 °C 82 F25.5 °C 78 F Maximum: 34.5 °C = 94 F Average: 30.4 °C = 87 F 33 °C 91 F35.4 °C 96 F33.8 °C 93 F26 °C 79 F31.4 °C 89 F30.2 °C 86 F25.5 °C 78 F27 °C 81 F27.4 °C 81 F Maximum: 35.4 °C = 96 F Average: 30 °C = 86 F Power Supply (max.) 35.8 °C = 96 F | Room Temperature 22.5 °C = 73 F | FIRT 550-Pocket (+) The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 30.4 °C / 87 F, compared to the average of 29.5 °C / 85 F for the devices in the class Office.

Cons- hardly any maintenance options - reflective touchscreen The Acer Swift 5 SF514 leaves a very good impression in our test. The workmanship is of high quality, and the performance is also very well-suited for mobile operation and office, as well as browser tasks. The built-in hardware is also sufficient for simple image processing and less demanding games. In addition, the package is rounded by the very good battery life. With the Acer Swift 5 SF514 with Tiger Lake CPU, there is nothing in the way of long lasting activities without the charger. We would have liked an alternative to the highly-reflective display, however. Unfortunately the maintenance options turn out limited, but this also benefits the slim build. At least, you can replace the SSD and WLAN module and also clean the fan. In our opinion, the reflective display also represents a disadvantage. It is not well suited for working outdoors, and artificial light sources can also lead to annoying reflections. The antimicrobial coating is a nice gimmick, but its usefulness might be limited. The Acer Swift 5 SF514-55T-58DN is available (in Germany) starting right now. In the US, several configurations are available at Acer, starting from $999.

This was followed by work on various PCs and laptops that I maintained and repaired for friends and acquaintances. After training to become a Telecommunications Systems Technician and gaining a few years of experience, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering. Currently, I pursue my fascination for IT, technology, and mobile devices by writing reviews and articles for Notebookcheck. I have also worked for Gamestar, Netzwelt, and Golem, among others. Having worked as a programmer for 20 years (medical devices, AI, data management systems), I've been following the computer scene for many years and especially enjoy finding out about new technology advances. Originally from Germany but living in the US, I've been working as a translator more recently, with Notebookcheck allowing me to combine my interest in new devices and translation. Other interests include Buddhism, spending time in Tibetan monasteries, and translating ancient Tibetan texts.
