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

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.

This is by far one of the best Windows laptops I have ever owned. It came with minimal bloatware (much of which I cleaned up upon receiving the laptop) and the memory and processor performance of my personal laptop keep up with high loads: multiple virtual machines running, WSL running Linux, Firefox, VSCode, Spotify, Teams and Outlook run almost constantly on my laptop with no gaps in work or delays from loading.

Coming from ASUS TUF 15.6 144HZ i7-11370H,RTX 3050ti,8GB DDR4,512PCe SSD - returned

The laptop arrived protected. Upon inspection I didnt liked the choice of colors too much, but its performance is unbearable at this price. The screen could go dimmer when turning the brightness down, but Im none of those people that tend to use the least amount of backlight on my laptops, so take it with a pinch of salt.

The laptop is so good and the specifications are much high and its very less cost compared to other laptops

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.

The first one I received had NO sound out of the box, so it was exchanged for the next one. This one lasted a few weeks before it refused to turn on. While it worked it was a phenomenal laptop, although it ran hot enough to almost cook eggs. My IT friend followed all recommended procedures to revive this laptop, to no avail. The first time it refused to power on, he pressed the reset button underneath for the battery, which worked. That was the last time this laptop ran. When I went through the return process, I chose the option to have a replacement sent, but apparently that option is no longer valid. Time to choose another brand for the combination of CPU and Video.

I did not receive a unit with Win10 on it, despite it stating Win10 in the specs. Ignoring that, it has a solid build and solid performance. I do hate the nuisances of Win11, its like a reskinned Win10, but with extra steps. Im keeping it for now as I need the laptop, but will remain slightly disappointed. I was hoping to skip this OS until the next one (Win12?), but Ill give it a shot a little longer.

So far Ive had this laptop for 2 months, and I take it from school to work. Its a good product so far! Its quiet, light, and does indeed have a long lasting battery!
