This laptop is an excellent update of the previous 14-inch Swift 3s. It's a slightly more expensive product, but at the same time it fixes many of their issues and compromises on very few aspects. The compact form-factor, the excellent build quality, the...

Acer's budget detachable offers an entry-level route into the 2-in-1 market, with a capable performance and fairly decent battery life. Unfortunately, with no one stand-out feature and a barebones feature set, its lower price is the only thing going fo...
