Acer Swift X SFX14-41G-R1S6 Creator Laptop | 14 Full HD 100% sRGB | AMD Ryzen 7 5800U | NVIDIA RTX 3050Ti GPU | 16GB LPDDR4X | 512GB SSD | Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit KB | Amazon Alexa | Windows 10 Home

This laptop is very light and portable to take where you need to. The gpu and cpu are both very good and the screen looks great. Comes with windows 10 which allowed me to upgrade to 11 upon setup. You would have a hard time finding a similar laptop with these specs at this price point and to also have it be so light. I havent had any issues with it so far, does get a little warm but nothing like some other laptops Ive used. Should be able to get done any editing or designing you have to do on it no problem.

Bottom line:

I bought a pc because I needed to run windows for my engineering classes. Im not knowledgeable about windows at all, but this computer has amazing performance all packed in for a great price. I wish that the display was 4k, and that the body was a little more premium, but for the price you cannot beat the top-of the line specs!

I received this laptop just a few days ago and Im loving it so far. Ill be updating my review later on...

Processor performance in the Top 10% of +3,000 available chips in the market.. Affordable price, light and long last battery

The laptop works great with an awesome battery life. My budget was around $1,300 and this laptop with an RTX 3050ti and a 8 core processor. I’m a student and I needed a lightweight laptop and I knew that this was my choice. The laptop have a responsive keyboard and a sturdy chasis. The camera is not that great but it works so I dont mind.

I wanted a windows machine with discrete graphics and a quality display for photo and video work but I didnt want some 15.6-17 behemoth, nor could I really afford a Razer or some other $2000 ultra portable. After exhaustive research and comparisons over a couple of months I decided the swift x was exactly at the price/performance intersection for me. Its a little thicker and heavier than I prefer for travel but given the massive performance it has over my old Yoga laptop I consider it a reasonable trade. The 16:10 display is not my preferred aspect ratio for lightroom and photoshop but I use a calibrated 4k external monitor for serious work sessions. The built in display has great gamut and color space specs and sharp details for a 1080 panel. Battery life is excellent if youre not flogging it. The fan ran an obnoxious amount out of the box, even at idle but a quick Google showed it was a known issue and a quick settings change quieted things right down. I havent done much video work on it yet but I have some upcoming projects that will put the GPU to the test. It rips through lightroom and photoshop tasks with ease. It nips at the heels of my friends top of the line Razer at a fraction of the price, and thats an Intel machine. If we got into multicore video work I would probably edge him out.

Performance is good, battery can last ~4hr only on gentle internet visiting.

After several months as a daily driver I am separating my way with Swift X. List of malfortunate issues follows:

I received the Acer Swift X from the Amazon Vine review program. The Vine targets offerings based upon my purchases and searches, and I had been looking at Macbook Air laptops when this was offered.
