How much laptop can you get for $329? Acer's Swift 1 is a surprisingly strong answer, a little short on storage but with a slim build and a 1080p IPS display.

Acer Swift 1 review: A cheap, lightweight ultra-portable that skimps on performance

2.5

While the Acer Swift 1 delivers a lot for less than $350—a slim and light chassis, plenty of battery life, an SSD and even a fingerprint reader—it makes painful speed and storage compromises to get there.
