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

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.

I expect a laptop at this price would be ready to use when I received it. But no its the begining of a nightmare. First I got a laptop with a broken keyboard. After some trouble shooting I have no choice but to ship it back.

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.

There are many things to love about this laptop, like:

I got this for personal and light work use. I do some freelance work and this performs well and manages many tabs open and can process through downloads without slowing. Haven’t had any issues with graphics. Keyboard lights up and feels smooth under the finger tips. I like the color BUT I do have some

was for the wife. she picked it out and got no major complaints. only thing is the backlit keyboard is auto-on upon startup -- white light blends with the silver keys in the daytime. used to crash when using big Excel documents but i removed a lot of the junkware booting when computer did and that solved the ram issue. for a slim laptop this is good quality.

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.

I really needed to buy a laptop after unintentionally breaking my old one, I did some research on YouTube and came across videos about this product and will all the good reviews its gotten I decided to purchase it and Im glad I did.

Very excellent for what I have it for. I like to be able to play AAA games on moderate settings, and the 3050ti delivers. But I also write and read a lot, and some programming, so the long battery life is very useful.
