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

The screen is pretty nice on this laptop and its small and very portable. Battery life has been pretty nice as well. Works well with creative software but video games are not a good experience. After the hassle that was updating drivers and removing the random pre-installed crap I found any game I tried had about a full second of input lag. And Im talking low intensity games like the Binding of Isaac and Doom from 1993.

I have been using this laptop for a month, temperatures can get pretty high under load. The highest its been was 90 degrees celsius. If you plan to get this laptop I would suggest you get a laptop cooler. It helps and now the temperatures dont go higher than 80 degrees celsius. It was advertised for 11-hours of battery life but when I tested it, the battery held up to 9 hours of use which is pretty decent for a laptop. Be aware that the GPU RTX 3050ti uses 40 watts of battery, which is a lot. So if you plan to game, the battery would last for 3-5 hours. Its performance has been remarkable and I suggest this laptop for students and people who want to do a little gaming. It did disappoint that it was a 60-hertz display. The computer is powerful so I hoped it had a 144 or 240hz display. Either way, this is a good laptop and if you are a gamer get a monitor that has a high refresh rate because I easily had 100fps+ on Valorant and Fortnite. The average fps on Valorant was 168fps and the highest fps was around 280-300fps.

So I got this to replace an aging 6 year old laptop. Im not going into all the specs and that the Ram is soldered on and the upgrade ability of this device as its in the description and its easy to search info about it. So my experience with this slim laptop is pretty good. The pros of this PC, aka things I like. The screen looks good, it has 16gb of ram, 512mb HDD, dedicated video card to handle some video encoding or light gaming (when your kids grab it), the keyboard is back lit, HDMI out, 2 USB 3.0, USB C, rather good battery life if you balance the power options, and its light but not light that it feels cheap. The cons,aka thing I dont care for. The power adapter for this Acer Swift is very small and delicate, the Ram is soldered on so if the Ram gives you issues its not as easy as popping in a new stick, it comes with more bloat ware apps installed than my last OEM laptop and lack of any additional inputs, besides the 2 USB, 1 USB c HDMI, and a headset port. Overall I like the laptop, but soldering on the Ram sucks, and give me another USB at least 3 should be a minimum to call this a creator laptop. It come with a 30 day of Norton and most of the Acer boatyard can be uninstalled.

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.

Ive been having connectivity issues and blue screens with this laptop. Periodically, the WLAN interface isnt able to find available networks and disappears from Network Connections altogether.

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.

Very good specs in a portable package of 1.4kg. However, 1 glaring flaw is the uneven keyboard backlight. In addition, with the backlight on during daytime makes the keyboard characters almost unreadable. Silver keys and a white backlight is a bad combination. I have a hp laptop with black keys and I do not face this readability issue.

Comply with the reviews that appear on the internet. Price-quality ratio, very good.

Great product, high performance machine, everything that I wanted when I purchased this. However, after working fine for a couple weeks (maybe a hiccup occasionally), the network adapter completely stopped working. No WiFi settings were even available in the settings. Upon looking in the Device Manager, the computer did not even recognize a WiFi adapter at all. It appears to be a manufacturing defect, so I will be shipping the computer back to be fixed. I will admit that this process hasnt been too bad, since this ordeal is occurred less than 90 days after the product was bought, I dont believe that I am paying any costs.

Heard lots of people complain about the screen but I think it is awesome quality
