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

Im amazed how well this laptop does for its size and price. Its super responsive for everything, and plays every game I have on the highest settings. Its so small I dont have to think twice about lugging it around like I usually have to do with laptops powerful enough for what I need. Its also nice to be able to use a USB C dock with power and only have one cable to connect and disconnect to hook up to everything. Its also nice that the screen isnt glossy so doesnt reflect everything, yet it looks amazing. The only trade off seems to be its quite plasticky and not the most rugged feeling laptop.

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.

Only owned for a short while but the laptop runs very well. The build quality is nice and screen looks great as well. Definitely a good bang for your buck with the specs

I will put this first. I am unsure if the ram or solid state drive is set or if you can upgrade them. I did not try to open or upgrade the item. These are the two things you should research before purchasing this. Although with the current specification, I am sure you do not need to do that. This Acer laptop overall is an average size laptop and the specification are not bad for what you get. This laptop is relatively thin and not too heavy. It has a decent processor (ryzen 7). The ram is 16 gb which is well beyond the suggested nowadays. It will definitely work for most daily usage as well as design and gaming. That being said, it is not the best in terms of battery life. It really only last about three to four hours at most on a full charge. The fan is a bit loud on heavy usage. It is a standard AC charger which can make it a bit annoying to replace in the future if needed. The power brick is okay but does get hot while charging. You will need it plugged in to really game on this device. Upon boot up of the acer laptop, the laptop boots up fairly quick. The setup is pretty straight forward and does not require any driver installation. The bloatware is not too terrible. The laptop also has only a 14 inch screen with the max resolution at 1920 x 1080. The screen has an okay brightness but not the best quality. It still keep the traditional two USB port as well so you do not have to buy an adapter for this laptop while also having the type c (non thunderbolt) port. The laptop can be angled back for better viewing but it cannot be pushed back all the way. The laptop surface where the wrist rest is where I do not like the material. It looks nice with the bright silver but with long term use it will fade over time. The keys are okay, but not the best. I am not a fan of typing on them as it just feels a bit on the cheaper end. The external casing of this surface is very easy to scratch (seems to be an issue with all this material) so I would recommend that you get a laptop case for it. The trackpad runs pretty well, It is sensitive and feels smooth to move across. It also does not look like it will wear down easily which is good. There is a camera that will record at at least 720p. You could put a web cam cover on it. The dual microphone makes for a very clear voice and I have not had any issues with any sound issues. It usually does not pick up too much surrounding noise and focuses more on voice. On laptop, there is a 3.5 port to plug in headphones/microphone. It does have dual band wifi built in and no issues with speed/connection. The laptop itself can last about five to six hours or so on a full charge. Depending on how much you have open and how much you utilize the laptop capability, you could actually have less than that. Best thing to do is just balance the resource as best you can. The overall charge time depends but it can take up to three to charge the laptop to 100% from what I can tell. It is not too long and the charger does get hot so handle with care. It has a decent boot up being less than fifteen seconds to boot up but the bloatware has to go so I would recommend you uninstall that if possible. The speaker system is pretty loud but they do have a bit of a feedback noise that is a bit annoying but that is okay. The 3060 TI runs great! It is a very powerful card that allows you to game very well on this computer although the screen is only 14 inches. The fan also is a bit loud on high usage (gaming). The processor is an Ryzen 7 which is MORE than enough power for what I need it to do on a daily. In terms of video games, it can play many games at very high quality although you do need to have it plugged in. The processing speed is really fast and it works really well for what I need. There is an HDMI port so you are able to connect this to an external screen. I am unsure if there is a dock that is meant for this laptop. Overall this laptop is a a very powerful laptop. You get a smaller screen but the gaming on it is not bad. The acer laptop can run a bit hot and the battery life is not the best. The specification is not bad at 16 GB ram and 512 gb SSD drive. The space is decent for what I need it for but for gaming it will fill up fast. It is good for all around use and can easily be made into a work, gaming, or basic computer with a single monitor connection.

I own an acer swift 1 and needed a laptop with more ram and disk space and acer X gave me that plus all the bells and whistles. Its really loaded easy to setup. Color is off the charts good and very fast. I highly recommend. I received the laptop in 3 days well packaged.

This laptop has had issues since day 1. Its so buggy. I like the specs, but its not enough to make up for the constant bugs. This thing wont even restart correctly. Disappointing.

I bought this laptop for 2 reasons, 1) it has a rtx GPU which no one offers at this price. 2) an excellent color accurate screen.

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.

This laptop has worked great for me for school work. I have run into no problems or bottlenecks even when I try and do some gaming on it. Overall I would recommend this to anyone that wants a great quality thin and light that has some serious horsepower under the hood for all of your gaming or creation needs.

Love the speed and sleekness of the machine. After 4 months, the wireless adapter went caput. Completely unrecognizable in the laptop and thus no WiFi. Apparently, its a more than common issue.
