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

Love the speed and sleekness of the machine. After 4 months, the wireless adapter went caput. Completely unrecognizable in the laptop and thus no WiFi. Apparently, its a more than common issue.

PROS

Over all I really liked this laptop when I first got it, yeah, it seemed thin and light and actually had a at least usable GPU for gaming and even some light VR. Unfortunately, I dont feel it is built to last.

Note: Minor review edits after ~2 months w/ laptop

Its a nightmare trying to find a laptop that has a discrete GPU and 2 SSD slots but isnt full on gamer. Im not looking to play all the latest AAA games on a laptop, just run some old games from time to time, but theres no market for people like me apparently. This one however hits just the right spot: perfectly portable and with as much power as you could possibly need on a laptop. Build quality is excellent and I will probably try to slot in an additional 2TB drive, will update if anything goes wrong but so far Im loving it.

Lightweight powerful laptop. Works for my robotics program as well as gaming. Best college laptop.

This is a little beast of a laptop -- its quite small and compact (and looks nice) but also packs a 3050 within it -- so for someone wanting to play some games on the go this is great (it may get a bit toasty after a bit). 16gb of ram and 512gb of SSD are also very nice and will suit most people.

I purchased this laptop about a year ago, and have used it nearly every day since. While it looks unimpressive and dull, this thing is extremally powerful for its size and outward appearance.

I love this laptop. 3.06 lbs and it can run triple-a games (with lower settings). You dont even need to carry around the charger. It supports USB-C power delivery up to 100w (i tested it with a watt meter) so you can have one charger for all of your devices saving even more weight.

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.
