THE BAD:

i like the gold color!

Acer Swift X SFX14-41G-R1S6 MediaTek MT7921 Wi-Fi card doesnt work well.

Edit: Updated after spending more time with the laptop.

Do the research, to find something with this much CPU power, 16gb ram, nvme storage AND an RTX 3050ti for LESS than a grand. Your choices are few and far between... I specifically wanted current gen hardware for the first time in my life. Coming from desktops I was curious just how much power does this little bad boy have. Before even turning it on I added a 1tb nvme drive and it was recognized immediately. Mostly I play GTA, Fallout, Forza, etc... It plays them all VERY WELL! Like, wow for the price kinda performance. To some people, $800 isnt ALOT of money, for me, its the most expensive tech Ive ever owned so I did my research. I couldnt be happier.......

I originally bought a MSI 15M 3060 MAX-Q w/ 11th gen Intel. I’m an casual gamer and that laptop ran VERY HOT, I couldn’t even use it as a “Laptop” without 3rd degree burns. Now this laptop, wow, it runs very cool under load. If you’re looking for something besides a space ship with huge fan vents, this is it.

really good laptop for creators, but if you want to play, you can actually play several games and they will be playable. You can work on this laptop if you connect the charger, otherwise battery is gonna die really fast

Let me say this has great performance. It handled everything i threw at it, playing mid to high gaming with rtx and dsll enabled was cool - while even doing some media consumption and work on the side.

I used the computer for two months and the battery life was great. I can take it for class at noon and keep using it for programming and taking notes till 6pm with still around 30% power left. It can only work for two hours when playing pc games, but I play them at home and can charge whenever I like. And it’s light. I can hardly feel it when I take it in my backpack.

Overall, it has good performance and a good battery life. I am happy with the screen. The only drawback I can think of is that the fans can be occasionally noisy but I think the pros (price/performance) outweigh a little bit of noise. It does everything that I need it to and the keyboard/trackpad are pretty good.
