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 is billed as a powerful, lightweight laptop for creatives. It is all that except the fan gets so loud and runs so long just for minor tasks at 15% CPU load before the GPU EVEN KICKS IN I cant imagine working with it for video and audio editing. Seriously, its as loud as a heatgun, and it has a shrill whine along with the woosh. I suppose if you use closed headphones it would be usable. Im very disappointed, I waited a long time for this to come out, and it sure is pretty and light with a beautiful screen.

After about 2 months of use, here is my feedback: Good overall except the following :

Its great for everyday tasks and great price for what you get.

This laptop is perfect at nothing, but great at everything. It can run intensive games well, it can be used for typing well, and pretty much anything else a laptop should do, this is good at doing. Overall, its one of the best laptops for students, especially if you want a super subtly secret gaming laptop that looks like a typical laptop.

Best laptop I had

I like that it lasts all do with moderate load but can handle somewhat heavier loads when needed. I do a lot of photo editing which it handles well. It can do simple editing of 4k video when I need it to.

Got this at the October prime day and its been great.

I liked the size and weight of the laptop plus the specs are very capable. Most games will play just fine and the battery life is pretty good if you plan to use it away from home. My main con is the screen, I thought it could have been better. It seemed like the contrast was low and the black levels were higher than Id like. The brightness and colors were decent enough. I wouldve also liked to see an SD card slot.

Did not have windows 10 home as advertised, came with windows 11 and lots of bloatware.

Its a nightmare trying to find a laptop that has a discrete GPU and 2 SSD slots but isnt full on gamer. Im not looking to play all the latest AAA games on a laptop, just run some old games from time to time, but theres no market for people like me apparently. This one however hits just the right spot: perfectly portable and with as much power as you could possibly need on a laptop. Build quality is excellent and I will probably try to slot in an additional 2TB drive, will update if anything goes wrong but so far Im loving it.
