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

What an amazing little machine!... What makes this laptop the most special is the RTX 3050ti graphics card in this small package. Im an engineer and my work life tends to carry over into my home life. I needed something which could easily fit into my backpack so that I could ride motorcycles to work but would also be able to render 3D models in fusion360 without stumbling from a lack of graphics processing power with very large model files when changes are made. The Swift X handled this issue of mine like cake. I was previously using a Macbook Pro which was about seven years old and it just did not have what it takes to render effortlessly. The screen is plenty bright and has beautiful coloration plus a USB-C docking station gives you the ability to run potentially three additional monitors without a concern. Fine details on the screen are easy to see because of the high pixel count even when theyre very small. The AMD processor in this machine was the fastest offered for the model and has proven to be way more than enough for 3D modeling and even gaming or running other CPU intensive programs like video editing software. Battery life is terrific. I can take this computer home and use it all night long without killing the battery before work again the next morning... As an avid overlander, this laptop has also adopted a new place in my heart as my primary screen for streaming services. Picture quality from Disney+ and such is intensely high even though Im using 4G service for my wifi from a router in my truck out in the desert. I was able to get a 12v PD USB-C charger on Amazon and am able to use this to charge the laptop out on the road for extended weekends. To top it all off, there is a slot for an additional SSD. For <$200, this laptop can have 2.5TB of total storage... WOW!.. Now, the only downside is that the memory is soldered. This could be an issue for some. For me, I have not found myself coming up short with 16GB of memory yet and dont see it being an issue in the future. Overall, I highly recommend this laptop.

I have had this laptop for the 1.5 years, and it has been amazing. I havent had any major issues with it, only minor issues that got fixed by a software or driver update. The gaming performance is quite decent for competitive games. It isnt the strongest in world built based games but if you lower the graphics it will give you consistent fps. The trackpad, speakers and keyboard are useable but could be better. But the true downside to this laptop is battery life. After 1.5 years, I can only get 5 hours of battery life while browsing the web. Overall, this laptop is really amazing, and I am pretty sure that the newer ones fix all the minor issues that I listed.

Been using this for a week now and its been doing me wonders. Great for low-end gaming and great for school and normal life activities. The only problem is that the charger is a bit finicky and the fan is a bit loud when gaming but other than that its a 10 outta 10 from me!

The laptop worked fine for a year, then started getting hot when I was using it or charging. It died last week, and the local computer shop said the motherboard is fried, and the replacement cost is the same as a new laptop, so it looks I’m now in the market for a new laptop. I’ve had good luck with Acer laptops in the past, which is why I bought this one. Don’t know if this is just bad luck or a problem with their thin/light lines, but I think my days with Acer are over.

The laptop has a ryzen 7 processor and a 3050 Ti for the price you honestly couldnt get a product that offers more than the acer swift x. I cannot recommend this product because the moment I turned it on the fan just started kicking in and would never stop. I tried pressing Fn+F to put the laptop on quiet mode and the fan will slow down for 2 seconds before sounding loud again. I honestly cant use the laptop to study because the fan noise is too distracting especially when you connected it to an external monitor.

Enough for me

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

I had been eyeing to upgrade my wifes older Samsung ultrabook that is about 5 years old now. She wanted to get into gaming yet her Samsung only had integrated graphics. She was also looking for something that didnt scream gaming laptop (big, bulky, gamer colors and aesthetics) because she does go into the office a few times a week. All while keeping the price under $1400. I just could not find anything these past 9 months at all. The only things that came close were Razer or MSI or Asus products but at a much higher price point, speaking about their sleek looking creator laptops specifically.

Good stuff. Wont find any laptops with these specs at this price, what more weighing only 1.4kg.

Crossing point of CPU & GPU power, battery time, weight & dimension.
