The Acer Swift 5 SF514-55T-58DN (Swift 5 SF514 Series) 1TB / 32GB is Acer's 2018 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 14.95 x 318.9 x 207 ( = 0.59 x 12.56 x 8.15 in) display, the Intel Core i5-1135G7 4c/8t 4 x 2.4 - 4.2 GHz, 64 W PL2 / Short Burst, 28 W PL1 / Sustained, Tiger Lake-UP3 chipset. At AED 1,249 in the UAE and ₹29,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Acer Swift 5 SF514-55T-58DN excels with its Intel Core i5-1135G7 and Intel Iris Xe G7 80EUs, delivering strong multi-threaded performance and capable integrated graphics for light creative work. The 8GB quad-channel RAM boosts bandwidth, and the 56Wh battery sustains 8–9 hours under moderate use. At just 1.005kg, it’s among the lightest 14-inch laptops available. Its weakness is thermal throttling: sustained 28W PL1 limits CPU performance under prolonged load, and the single HDMI port restricts multi-monitor setups. Storage is PCIe NVMe but untested for sustained write speeds. In UAE at AED 1249, it’s good value because the titanium build, Thunderbolt 4, and Wi-Fi 6 justify the price for mobile professionals needing portability and connectivity. In India at ₹29990, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Lenovo Yoga 7i offer similar specs with better cooling and dual USB-C ports for the same cost.
