Your guides

To help you use your Acer notebook, we have designed a set of guides:
First off, the 

Setup Guide

 helps you get started with setting up your computer.

The 

Quick  Guide

  introduces  you  to  the  basic  features  and  functions  of  your  new 

computer. 
For more on how your computer can help you to be more productive, please refer to 
the 

Swift 3 User’s Manual. 

The
