I bought this computer for my son to use for schoolwork and it works fantastically. Thanks to the 16gb of ram you can run many programs at the same time. Also this computer is great to play games with. It ran a variety of games perfectly. There are two downsides to this laptop. Firstly when playing games the keyboard would heat up a lot. Moreover, unless youre plugged in, the battery drains really fast. This is because it runs at max performance. This is good for some games like Call Of Duty, but when running a simple game like Minecraft, the battery would drain at the same speed as complex games. But overall this is an amazing computer.

The laptop worked fine for a year, then started getting hot when I was using it or charging. It died last week, and the local computer shop said the motherboard is fried, and the replacement cost is the same as a new laptop, so it looks I’m now in the market for a new laptop. I’ve had good luck with Acer laptops in the past, which is why I bought this one. Don’t know if this is just bad luck or a problem with their thin/light lines, but I think my days with Acer are over.

Its good for competitive gaming such as valorant or overwatch if connected to an external monitor. I Can get a solid 120 fps.

I called Acer support immediately after noticing it would not turn on. They guided me through a few steps, but none that fixed my problem. The support told me that they had received a similar report for this item the 24th of September. For the exact same unit. The same product had been returned and sold again without fixing the problem.

THE BAD:

I bought this Swift X just over one month ago.I immediately upgraded the O/S nvme to 2tb,& added an additional 2tb nvme. I installed steam, Amd Tuning utility, & a custom version of windows 10. Total ram on idle was 1.2g.

Got this at the October prime day and its been great.

Find myself traveling to different parts of the country a lot the past few months and needed a laptop for keeping pace with my constantly changing productivity, entertainment, and communication demands.

My Acer Swift X kept crashing and died after 6 months. Going back to Asus - never had problems with those.

Got this laptop to do the following stuff
