EVERYDAY LUXURY UNDER ₹60K

There are laptops that look great on paper, and then there are ones that actually surprise you in daily life.

The Acer Swift Lite 14 belongs in the second category. Priced at ₹59,999, it promises a premium mix. This includes an OLED display, Intel's Core Ultra 5 115U CPU, a thin-and-light design and 16GB RAM. I used it for a week in my daily routine; from writing and editing articles to watching movies in bed, hopping between cafes, and even trying out light creative workloads. And honestly, it felt like I was carrying a premium ultrabook that should've cost a good ₹20K more. Here's my review.

DESIGN

The Sunset Copper finish is a conversation starter. I pulled it out at a café in Bandra, and someone actually asked if it was a custom-coloured MacBook. At just 1.1 kg, it's ridiculously portable. I carried it around in a sling bag all day without shoulder fatigue. The keyboard is surprisingly sturdy for such a slim body. During a 2-hour writing sprint at home, I noticed the keys had good travel and spacing, though the smaller arrow keys did take some getting used to. The backlit keys saved me during a late-night editing session when I didn't want to wake anyone up.
