Choosing the right laptop is difficult enough at the best of times but when you're working with a lower budget it gets a lot harder. We've tested loads of cheaper models to find the best laptops and best student laptops and the Acer Swift 3 is a fantastic pick.

Despite being the low-end model in Acer's Swift lineup, the Swift 3 is really powerful, featuring a big 14-inch Full HD display, up to Intel i7, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD. While this does make it slightly more than many other student laptops, the extra power is worth paying for if you need to do more intense schoolwork.

As we found in our review, the display is bright and sharp, the design is very appealing, and the typing experience – important for anyone who needs to write essays – is excellent. When it comes to covering the bases that students care about, the Acer Swift 3 delivers.

Going for a laptop with a bigger screen – most are 13.3-inches or smaller – is worth the slight price increase that the Swift 3 demands, especially now that many of us are stuck staring at laptops from the sofa.
