The compromises exist, but the gist is that, for Google Docs work, Zoom calls, streaming, emailing, and other tasks that many students spend the day doing, the Swift 3 does the trick. At a $649 list price (it’s about $673 on Amazon at time of press), the question isn’t “Does the Acer Swift 3 laptop knock your socks off?”
The compromises exist — I’ll get into them later — but the gist is that, for Google Docs work, Zoom calls, streaming, emailing, and other tasks that many students spend the day doing, the Swift 3 does the trick. The other hindrance is the 16:9 aspect ratio, which makes multitasking a pain. percent screen-to-body ratio.
Samsung’s Galaxy Chromebook, Asus’ Chromebook Flip C436, and many of last year’s top contenders like the Pixelbook Go all used a 16:9 aspect ratio — a more square 3:2 screen is taller and gives you significantly more vertical space. Two big factors set Acer’s Chromebook Spin 713 apart from the rest. The first is its 3:2 display.
The display does have a 16:10 aspect ratio, which I appreciate — and if you’re used to using 16:9 panels, you’ll notice the extra vertical space. If you’re browsing in a couple tabs, streaming Netflix, or running an app or two, you shouldn’t have a problem. Docs and Spotify each crashed once or twice, but it wasn’t a rampant problem.
Qui - for clients that are larger, we set up media citation reports (like a word doc with titles and links and relevant info about the mentions and how they should respond). assessed the conversation and they had a 58% negative blog/conversation ratio (used manual researching, icerocket, forumtracker, search.twitter, etc.),
The panel has a 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio — so not only is it wide, but you get an extra bit of vertical space compared to many popular laptops. When I worked in a full-screen Google Doc, there was so much emptiness on each side that I felt like I was wasting space.
It has a whopping 25:9 aspect ratio, meaning it is very, very narrow. Lots of the games I would stream from Microsoft’s Game Pass Ultimate or Google Stadia were designed to be played on laptop or TV screens, so having the Z Fold 2’s tablet-sized screen made them a lot more usable than a smaller phone. inch display.
It also has access to other popular streaming services, like Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max. The bigger software problem remains: Amazon does not have access to the Google Play Store and is therefore lacking many of the apps you are familiar with on a phone (think Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Docs, etc).
You can adjust the monitor’s settings using a tiny five-way control nub underneath the power LED, and it’s remarkable how much you can tweak — including the ability to crop the entire panel to 4:3, 16:9, or 21:9 aspect ratios instead of stretching out the image. The ultrawide aspect ratio didn’t work as well for video as I hoped, though.
Among other things, it has pushed Spotify to buy up the crown jewels of American podcasting , to reduce its head-to-head competition with Apple over music streaming.). Since the pandemic, a five-time US chess champion has channeled his success into a full-time gig streaming and commentating on chess on Twitch.
But there are also plenty of people who do the majority of their work in a web browser, using tools like Google Docs and spreadsheets for productivity without needing a full Windows setup. Online shopping, streaming music and video and using various social media sites are among the most common daily tasks people do on Chromebooks.
