I did a lot of research and comparing of laptops before purchasing the Swift 3. I needed it for fairly simple tasks and it definitely does them well. While I'm not blown away by the screen, I find that I'm more than happy with how video looks on playback. My Swift 3 has been a definite upget from my last computer and I would recommend it to others, particularly if you're looking for a light, portable laptop that also has a solid, metal casing.
