The new limited-edition Acer Swift 3 brings Iron Man’s power to your fingers

Taiwanese computer maker Acer celebrates everyone’s favourite superheroes with the release of its Swift 3 – Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” Iron Man Edition limited-edition notebook computer.
Even though the Swift 3 can’t fly like its namesake, it’s every bit as powerful as the Avengers hero with all the muscle and power you need to perform computing tasks and let you have fun playing games and watching HD movies.
It looks sleek too in its dark red shell just like Iron Man’s suit and a sturdy aluminium top cover emblazoned with Iron Man’s glowing Arc Reactor.

The Iron Man Swift 3 is one of three special edition notebook computers Acer has launched in collaboration with Mavel Studios. The two others are the Aspire 6 – Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” Captain America Edition and the Nitro 5  Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” Thanos Edition.
The Iron Man Swift 3 is 17.95 mm in height and weighs about 1.6 kg. It also has a good battery life of 10 hours.
And it doesn’t just look good, it works well too, with the power coming from an 8th Generation Intel Core i58250U processor, which runs at 1.6 GHz. Its graphic horsepower comes from NVIDIA GeForce MX150 with 2 gigabytes of dedicated GDDR5 VRAM memory to better handle graphics tasks. It’s equipped with 8GB of DDR3 working memory or RAM and 256GB of storage using fast SSD or Solid State Drive.

The notebook runs on Windows 10 Home (64bit) edition. During the test, I found the notebook ran business applications like Microsoft Office fast and smoothly. It also played games smoothly.
Its 14-inch Full HD Acer ComfyView LED-backlit TFT LCD with 1920x1080 pixels is bright and great for viewing photos and watching video clips.

The Iron Man Swift 3 comes with a high-definition webcam with Super High Dynamic Range, with which you can enjoy high-quality video chats with friends or family. 
The notebook’s keyboard is backlit, making it easy to type in a dimly lit environment. The spacious Precision Touchpad provides ample room for navigating, scrolling and zooming.
