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.

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.

The RAM is soldered in with now expansion sockets! Really Acer? So buy as much RAM as you can get because youre not adding any! It does have two M.2 SSD slots, so thats nice.

The Acer Swift X is well priced laptop with plenty of power that could be dialed down to last a whole day. The laptop might looks simple and bland, with the silver aluminum chassis, but the Ryzen 7 5800U APU and NVIDIA RTX 3050Ti packs a punch.

I bought this computer by the advices of some friends and I dont regret it, is really fast, the battery might be kind of weird sometimes, but overall it does the job, would recommend.

I tend to be very demanding on my laptops - multiple tabs open, games, videos, music, writing apps - so I need a powerful laptop that can stand up to my needs without overheating or bogging down. This Acer Swift meets my needs and then some. It has an AMD Ryzen 7 5000 Series Mobile Processor and the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU, so it can stream and create effortlessly - perfect for college students or anyone in need of a powerful but lightweight laptop. It even offers an embedded fingerprint reader for added security. The only drawback is that you cant upgrade the RAM, but in all honesty, the 16GB it comes with is plenty.

This is a great little laptop, super lightweight and yet works great! Loving how quiet and fast it is and at a super affordable price.

The WiFi module died within the day of delivery. When it was still detected, it wouldnt reliably connect to the internet in both Windows and from a Linux live USB. The overall build quality is quite poor for a $1000+ laptop. The charging plug is laughably fragile and will only connect at certain angles and with a constant push inwards.

Definitely worth its price. Good for daily work

Decent for home studio work
