No problems thus far. Everything has been working as expected!

I tend to be very demanding on my laptops - multiple tabs open, games, videos, music, writing apps - so I need a powerful laptop that can stand up to my needs without overheating or bogging down. This Acer Swift meets my needs and then some. It has an AMD Ryzen 7 5000 Series Mobile Processor and the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU, so it can stream and create effortlessly - perfect for college students or anyone in need of a powerful but lightweight laptop. It even offers an embedded fingerprint reader for added security. The only drawback is that you cant upgrade the RAM, but in all honesty, the 16GB it comes with is plenty.

I wouldnt game on it. I would do ok for things that are not gpu intensive. They underclocked the GPU so you dont get the full power out of it but I caught it on sale and it was the cheapest laptop that fit my specs. Works great, great battery life and fantastic to work from home. Only downside are the small compress chiclet keys, but its a laptop.

This laptop is perfect at nothing, but great at everything. It can run intensive games well, it can be used for typing well, and pretty much anything else a laptop should do, this is good at doing. Overall, its one of the best laptops for students, especially if you want a super subtly secret gaming laptop that looks like a typical laptop.

Solid performance, only two complaints and neither are big deals to me. One, I dislike the champagne color of the lid. Second, the touch pad is not super accurate or responsive. I use a mouse most of the time personally so its not a big deal to me. Might be something that could be solved with settings around acceleration or something, or a driver issue. Solid laptop still around outside of that though. Keyboard has more travel than most lower end laptops and it performs like a gaming laptop.

I got this for school; I just wanted something I could also do some work on, as I am doing a game design degree and messing around with a project I hope to sell one day. This thing is on par with my tower benchmark-wise; its GPU is nicer. Even the throttled-down laptop edition of the 3050 runs crazy well. I wouldnt get this just for gaming, but I got this on sale for 950 ish, and it gets better frame rates than my Tower. The granted tower has six terabytes of M203 SSDs, 32 gigs of ram, and the same CPU almsot. But that GPU price hike, oh, I felt it.

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.

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.
