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

With the zen 3 architecture from Ryzen and the DLSS capabilities from the rtx 30 series, this laptop is a great machine for both productivity and medium-light gaming.

I Just got the laptop a few days ago, and I already really like it. I really like the fingerprint sensor and I like how fast and responsive it is. I am using it for college and it is going to be perfect. I have already recommended this laptop to my friends.

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

The first one I received had NO sound out of the box, so it was exchanged for the next one. This one lasted a few weeks before it refused to turn on. While it worked it was a phenomenal laptop, although it ran hot enough to almost cook eggs. My IT friend followed all recommended procedures to revive this laptop, to no avail. The first time it refused to power on, he pressed the reset button underneath for the battery, which worked. That was the last time this laptop ran. When I went through the return process, I chose the option to have a replacement sent, but apparently that option is no longer valid. Time to choose another brand for the combination of CPU and Video.

I did not receive a unit with Win10 on it, despite it stating Win10 in the specs. Ignoring that, it has a solid build and solid performance. I do hate the nuisances of Win11, its like a reskinned Win10, but with extra steps. Im keeping it for now as I need the laptop, but will remain slightly disappointed. I was hoping to skip this OS until the next one (Win12?), but Ill give it a shot a little longer.

This laptop offers bang for buck. You get a lot of performance for the price. Especially with a Nvidia 3050ti dedicated GPU and ryzen 7 AMD cpu. Most games can run on 1080p with good quality settings. The system always runs quiet and cool as well, as Acer opted for only 35 watts in the nvidia 3050ti gpu. The laptop is nicely compact and light. Battery life is also excellent, as I mostly got 10 hours out of it when doing light intensive tasks.

PROS

Has a laptop Nvidia 3050 ti, so should run games well, hover gaming eats the battery up. Other than that a good laptop.

Decent for the price. It is a very light laptop but has enough power to do some gaming. The screen is good, bright enough for most applications. Would have been nice if it came with Windows 10 Pro.

The laptop arrived protected. Upon inspection I didnt liked the choice of colors too much, but its performance is unbearable at this price. The screen could go dimmer when turning the brightness down, but Im none of those people that tend to use the least amount of backlight on my laptops, so take it with a pinch of salt.
