Acer Swift X SFX14-42G-R607 Creator Laptop | 14″ Full HD 100% sRGB | AMD Ryzen 7 5825U | NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU | 16GB LPDDR4X | 512GB SSD | Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit KB | Windows 11, Gray

Heats up (EXPECTED) but runs beautifully
I bought this laptop for my game design school work so I could have a decent portable workstation, and it works beautifully running both Unreal and Unity alongside numerous other programs. It does have a tendency to heat up, which is expected considering it’s pretty thin, but regardless it runs perfectly.

Overall Great for Productivity
Acer Swift X SFX14-42G-R607 Creator Laptop |14″ Full HD 100% sRGB: The biggest downside if you are a gamer. The 60hz display. While it looks beautiful, brightens really well, and looks stunning…. games will be sluggish. I guess if you are a content creator or using the laptop for productivity, the screen would be great.AMD Ryzen 7 5825U – Not a bad processor at all. Again, pretty powerful if you are just creating content or using for standard productivity.NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU: impressive graphic card for a 14-in laptop that is not considered a gaming laptop. For a hardcore gamer, this graphics card would not be enough. For a mid-range gamer (overwatch, for example), it would suffice. But again, the drawback here is the 60 hz screen.16GB LPDDR4X: The ram is soldered on, so you won’t be able to improve on this. 16 GB, although becoming outdated, is not too bad.512GB SSD:Plenty of space being that most of what we do is on the cloud, and especially cuz you won’t be playing any AAA titles that need a large amount of space.Wi-Fi 6: well not bad, you could always upgrade it to the Wi-Fi 6e card by opening it up.Overall, it really depends what you’re going to get this laptop for.If you are getting it to edit videos, create content, word processing, use for school, use for medium to light work, used for middle of the road gaming… the portability is fantastic. Super light, super thin, and nice gray finish.If you are getting this laptop to be able to play AAA titles on the go, it won’t happen. You’re better off with a Razer Blade 14 or a Rog. Substantial price difference.I personally have a desktop gaming PC and I thought it would be a Good laptop to play overwatch and some lighter games while traveling, but the 60 hz screen ruined it for me.

Best laptop I have had, awesome for everything I need.
I’m amazed how well this laptop does for it’s size and price. It’s super responsive for everything, and plays every game I have on the highest settings. It’s so small I don’t have to think twice about lugging it around like I usually have to do with laptops powerful enough for what I need. It’s also nice to be able to use a USB C dock with power and only have one cable to connect and disconnect to hook up to everything. It’s also nice that the screen isn’t glossy so doesn’t reflect everything, yet it looks amazing. The only trade off seems to be it’s quite plasticky and not the most rugged feeling laptop.

Very nice laptop
I gave this laptop to my wife, replacing an older Dell. I was pleasantly surprised with the construction quality, speed and graphics card of this unit. The case is all metal, the CPU is very fast and the GTX 3050 GPU works very nicely, easily running a two-monitor setup. The only demerit is that it comes stock with Win11 Home, I believe it has the oomph to run Win11 Pro with no problems, but for the use that my wife gives it is just fine. Nice laptop!

This is my 3rd Acer Swift purchase, this time trying out the Swift X, instead of the Swift 3. It’s a great machine. Very fast, portable, comfortable to type on, fantastic screen quality. Don’t get me wrong, there are better laptops out there. However, there are none better at this price point (at least that I could find after weeks of research). This laptop features a decent GPU, so I use it not only for work, but also for gaming. Can’t handle the most challenging games very well (it’s not a gaming laptop), but can easily handle the vast majority of them. The only complaint I have is the battery life isn’t great for a laptop in this class. It’s a lot less than my previous Swift 3, and definitely not impressive when compared to other similarly priced laptops. Overall, a fantastic laptop that I use daily for video conferencing, typing reports, emailing, and gaming in the evening once the kids are in bed.

The Acer Swift X is lightweight with well more than satisfactory graphical power. Excellent for students who want to do school assignments and games on the side. You really won’t find a better price for what you get in a laptop. Only advise i’d give is to maybe wait for the new Swift X laptops to roll out since they have a better display and more graphical power. But in all honesty, even with the new laptops out this acer swift x is a very very good laptop to buy.Pros:- Very strong graphics card, can run most if not all AAA titles with medium-high settings at 60fps- CPU is fantastic and feels very Swift (haha)- Keyboard is nice to type on- Screen will get bright- Battery life will last the entire day if you are doing basic browsing- Amazing price for what you get- Finger ID for windows hello- Ok webcam nothing special 720p- Wifi 6 card makes browsing the internet fast- Expandable nvme ssd storage- The thin bezels are nice- Very sleek feels like a sleeper with all this power, others won’t know since it looks like a cheap laptop but it runs like a gaming computerCons- White keys with keyboard backlight is a terrible mix, can’t see what letters are on the keys with the light on in a well-lit place- Keyboard backlight has two brightness settings. 0% and 100% NOT DIMMABLE!!! and it is very bright in a dark room- The metal coating on the surface of the laptop feels cheap and feels very easy to scratch- Fan noise is quite loud even on idle (managed to make it silent by limiting the cpu power while on battery power)- Trackpad could be better, you have to press decently hard to click- Because the ram is soldered you can not upgrade the ram in any way which sucks

The laptop itself was quite good. At about the 6 month mark, while charging, the laptop would overheat, and then 10 months in, the battery is dead. I would not recommend, nor would I buy again.
