The Acer Swift X is offered at $849.99 to $1,099.99. It weighs 3.31 pounds, which is 5 ounces heavier to be considered as an ultraportable laptop, it’s not a gaming notebook despite having an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti GPU. It’s a 14” laptop that delivers one of the best price-to-performance ratio you can find. It is a device worth searching for if you are looking for a powerful ultra portable laptop.

- Summary
Overview - The 1650 variant can get quite hot when pushed to 5700u but can also provide 9-10 hours of battery life with light usage. The screen at 1090p, and matte 14” can get bright enough but nothing out of ordinary. Build quality is sturdy enough although some units have bent keyboards and trackpad gaps. Overall, nothing is better considering its light weight for light usage. Though the Xiaoxin Pro 16 with 3050ti may be a better option.
Power - The Acer Swift X with an AMD Ryzen 7 can give you 2/3 of the power that a basic mobile workstation can provide also in 2/3 of weight.

Purpose/Performance - It worked like a beast for Python, and Full Dev boot camp. It is a solid laptop with no frills and fancy stuff. It pairs well with the iPad Pro 12.9 via Duet Display app. Great device enough for students and individuals using it for productivity.
Screen/Speakers - Coming from the Dell Inspiron Gaming 15” laptop, the Acer Swift X provides great satisfaction for its form factor. Screen is adequate but could be brighter, and headphone or earbuds are a must for gaming or watching as the speakers are not that great.

Thermals - It would be a greater device if the thermals were properly reviewed although it’s already an amazing mid-range combo with Ryzen 5 and a proper GTX 1650 GPU.

Budget/Portability - It is similar to a traditional ultrabook or slim laptop that you can carry to school. It has a dedicated GPU which makes its price range reasonable. If you’re a previous user of Acer Swift 3, the laptop will also feel very familiar. Also, there’s a few color options available.
Matthew Moniz
Summary - The Acer Swift X is offered at $849.99 to $1,099.99. It weighs 3.31 pounds, which is 5 ounces heavier to be considered as an ultraportable laptop, it’s not a gaming notebook despite having an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti GPU.

Bezels - The Acer laptops are great because of their value for money, however, the bezels are not too pleasing for the eye. It doesn’t look great because of the plastic material that was used although it looks much better than its predecessor. Additionally, the bezels surrounding the screen are skinny enough for Acer to still find a space for the webcam at the top.
Build Quality - Its build quality is solid enough but not groundbreaking, its screen brightness is just enough, color is also accurate, speakers are of average quality, and the configuration 5800U/3050Ti is great. Quality may be disappointing for users coming from a metal built laptop as the aluminum alloy feels cheap, and the plastic-like material doesn’t feel sturdy enough.
Build - Focusing on the design, a thinner bezel would look much better, as having a thick lower bezel in a 16 x 9 aspect ratio makes it look like a lower gen. The top and side screen bezels are thin, webcam has no security shutter, although there’s a function key to mute the mic, there’s also a fingerprint reader below the keyboard for skipping passwords with Windows Hello, and an Amazon Alexa joined the AMD and Nvidia label on the palm rest.
Color Options - There’s a couple of color options provided. You can choose from steam blue, prodigy pink, and safari gold. However, the only colored parts are the lid, a narrow strip above they keyboard, and the display hinges while the rest is in silver color, which results to a two-tone look. The bezels have a matte black plastic display.
Design - The overall design of the Acer laptop has drastically improved as compared to its predecessor, 2018 Predator, which had an edgelord design with a huge Predator logo on the lid, and two red lines beside it.
Dimensions - The laptop measures 0.7 by 12.7 by 8.4 inches almost similar to VAIO SX14 and HP EliteBook 840 Aero G8 though they’re much lighter at 2.5 pounds. The swift range is considered light at 1.36 kg with an aluminum alloy chassis, which is identical to the Acer Swift 3X. It’s slim enough at 18 mm at most, you can slip it into your bag without much struggle.
Material - The Acer Swift X is made of an aluminum and aluminum-magnesium material that keeps the weight down at the same time sturdy, and it has an Acer logo on the lid.
Opening - The Acer Swift X can be opened using 1 hand, however, you must do so slowly as the bottom will also get lifted if you do it quickly, which will then require you to push it down using your other hand.

Panels - Most of the panels are 60% sRGB, so even if the’re calibrated, they’re still useless for any creative work.

Sticker Placement - The sticker placement is not one of the best choices they made.

Inputs/Ports
- Inputs
- Ports
Inputs - The Acer Swift X doesn’t have a Thunderbolt 4 support, but you have a USB-C port on the right side and another USB port on the left side, there’s also an HDMI port, and a headphone jack, but no SD card reader.
Ports - There’s a limited selection of ports including a single Type-C connection, which can be annoying when you have to charge at the same time have an external storage drive connected.
Tech Spurt
05/27/2021
Ports - The left side have 2 USB 3.2 ports, Type-A and Type-C, an HDMI video output, and a power connector. The USB-C port and an HDMI port can support an external display or monitor if you need a wider color gamut or a greater accuracy. A second USB-A port is also present along with an audio jack, and security-cable locking notch on the right. Lastly, there’s no SD or micro SD card slot.

Backlight - The keyboard of the Acer Swift X is back lit, and is very comfortable to type on despite its skinny build, the keys are well spaced.
Tech Spurt
Flex - A slight flex is present when you grasp the screen corners, or when you press the keyboard deck, which is tilted slightly for a comfortable typing angle when lid is opened.
PCMag - Eric Grevstad
01/13/2022
Keyboard - The keyboard is backlit and comfortable, there’s also a responsive fingerprint below for quick sign-ins. It’s very easy to type on, although a bit squishy and flexy in the middle part. The keys are not super clicky but also not the mushiest keys but are considered to be on the softer side.
Keys - The keys feel snappy and are quiet to type on, though it’s a little annoying that the keys are silver in color which leaves little to no contrast when back lighting is on in a completely dark room.
PCWorld - Matt Elliott
09/09/2021
Layout - The only con in the Acer Swift X’s keyboard is the crammed arrow keys, you’ll have to disable the Page Up and Page Down button to use them properly as it can get pressed accidentally when using the arrow keys. It would be better if these buttons are placed on a different location than their current spot. The fingerprint reader is located below the arrow keys, and is the only biometric option in the Swift X.
Touchpad - The touchpad has no issues, it has a smooth precision, accuracy is good, smooth gliding, and it feels firm. The size is respectable, and it’s very responsive. Made of a plastic material.

- Screen
- Display Ratio - Purpose
Anti-Reflection - The top brightness levels plus the anti-reflective surface of the Acer Swift X contributes to the harsh indoor lighting, making it harder to see.
Tech Spurt
Display - Aspect Ratio - The 14” display of the Acer Swift X features a 1920x1080, which is a full HD resolution, and it also has a 100% support for sRGB color gamut with peak brightness of 300 nits. Specifically, the color gamut range is 96% sRGB, 26% NTSC, 72% Adobe RGB and P3 color spaces. Images look bright with vibrant color and good contrast. However, the 16:9 screen ratio limits the amount of vertical space for design works as compared to a 16:10 ratio in a the HP Envy 14, and a Macbook Pro.
Brightness - Its glossy IPS, and low max brightness is not a good combination at all, the 250 nit peak brightness is not good enough. Overall screen display including color is good enough, except for the max brightness.
Innolux - The brightness depends on the model that you will get, there’s a screen model called Innolux which doesn’t get as bright as the AU model, though the AU model gets too bright plus it’s a matte screen, and it has an overclockable refresh rate. Color reproduction on both is the same and watching media is good.

Screen Finish - The matte finish on the Swift X’s screen will help depending on what type of environment you are in, if you are in a room with lots of reflection, then the matte screen will help reduce that.
[Matthew Moniz
07/28/2021
Screen Color - The Acer colors were as accurate as advertised, but when put beside the iMac 24 M1, and the Surface Laptop 1st gen, the colors on the Acer looked muddy, which can also be because of the matte screen coating. Also, some of the color transitions were wrong, and the 16:9 ratio can feel restrictive for photo editing although it’s fine for gaming and movies.
Tech Spurt
05/27/2021
Screen - The Swift X’s 14”, non-touch screen display is sufficient enough and not overly bright with good contrast. Viewing angles are broad, backgrounds are nicely white, however, colors don’t pop, it’s reasonably saturated but not rich nor vivid. Also, fine details are adequately sharp for 1080p.
PCMag - Eric Grevstad
01/13/2022
Display Ratio - Purpose - The 16:9 ratio feels too restrictive, and feels like the display is cramped making it hard to recommend for creative works. A 15.6 inch or larger laptop is not necessary but a 16:10 ratio in a 14” laptop would be enough for creative activities and tasks. Overall, this laptop would be a better fit for students and office workers as it’s light enough to carry around, and also powerful enough for gaming.

Mute/Privacy - There’s no function key for muting the mic or blocking the camera, it may not be a deal breaker but this function is present in most laptops including Dell, HP, and Lenovo.

Webcam Resolution - There’s a 720p webcam above the display, the quality has a noisy image with reddish tones, and it doesn’t have a physical privacy shutter.

Speakers - The speakers produce a relatively soft, tolerably clear, no bass audio, where you can barely make out overlapping tracks. There’s a DTS Audio that offers music, movie, and game presets, and an equalizer, for tuning your audio output.
Webcam - The webcam is not as bad, it seems clear enough and less noisy than other webcams. It has a 720p resolution that is able to capture a pale, fairly colorful image with plenty of noise and static. Overall, the webcam should be enough for Microsoft team meetings, and the AI background noise cancellation.

Battery Life - The Swift X may not offer the longest battery life but it can last 12 hours while playing a 4K video through the Windows Movies & TV app, with screen brightness at 250 nits, volume at 50%, and headphones plugged in.
PCWorld - Matt Elliott
09/09/2021
Battery - You can get up to 14 hours of battery life with playing minesweeper at a dimmed light setting, but hopefully it can last a full work day of 8 to 9 hrs on a single charge.
Cooling System - The cooling system with a dual fan is a must especially with a powerful CPU in a tropical country. Also, when the lid is opened the bottom portion is also lifted, which helps in cooling.
Fan Noise - The fan noise only reaches up to 47 dB even on performance mode, if you get really close to the laptop but on a normal sitting position it will only reach about 44 dB, which is reasonable enough. The sound doesn’t get too loud, although it can be slightly audible in an office setting under heavy load but compared to the Acer Nitro 5, the Swift X is much quieter.
Fan Noise - Thermal Management - The fan noise is very low in the Swift X as the CPU doesn’t really get hot, and if it does, the clock speeds are reduced to compensate.
Matthew Moniz
07/28/2021
Fan - The Swift X have a single fan with 59 blades and a pair of copper pipes to also help funnel away the hot air for cooling the CPU and dedicated GPU.
Tech Spurt
05/27/2021
Heat management - The Swift X heats up pretty quickly because of its small area with high-end components in it. The laptop is fairly quiet with basic tasks, but the cooling fan will begin to spin when laptop is engaged with heavier tasks such as Photoshop and other graphic apps. Even when the fan works overtime, the keyboards will still feel hot to touch.
Heat Sink - An additional heat sink would be better along with extended heat pipes. It would definitely make the overall temperature better during heavy workloads.
Matthew Moniz
07/28/2021
Thermal Design - The thermal design of the Swift X is kind of an issue with the CPU and GPU next to each other on the main board with the same heatpipe assembly. The heat sink is on the other side of the laptop some 35cm away, which is similar to the Aspire 7.

FPS - The NVIDIA 3050 Ti on the Acer Swift X is expected to get over 60 fps in demanding games such as Call of Duty: War Zone, Control, Watch Dogs: Legion, and Minecraft.
The Tech Chap
Graphics Card - The new RTX 3050 and 35050 Ti cards contributes to the improvement in raw performance and teraflops, and also provides the value added that comes with being in the RTX family, so there’s now access to ray tracing DLSS, and Nvidia’s reflex and broadcast. The 3050 Ti may not be near the top of Nvidia’s offerings but it is the most game-ready silicon in the group.
Processor - The Acer Swift X can provide enough CPU and GPU performance for on-the-go content creators with its octo-core Ryzen 7 5800U, which strong application and multimedia performance. Along with the RTX 3050 Ti graphics, it boosts 3D graphics and gaming capability from the ordinary GPU. Plus, the battery life is reasonable enough.

Performance - Reasons on why it is better than MBA is because of the fan, 16 GB RAM, better GPU for gaming, more ports, and no worries for optimizing games from CPU to WindowsOS.The performance for Photoshop is almost similar to the high-end H-series processors. As compared to the HP Envy 14’s GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q, the Swift X’s RTX 3050 Ti still performs better than the HP Envy 14, and it has more capability to handle content creation tasks. The Swift X completed a conversion of a 30GB movie to Android table format in nearly half the time of HP Envy 14 using the HandBrake utility, which is an intensive task that taxes the CPU and all of its cores.
Quick Access Utility - There’s a quick access utility that provides controls for an anti-blue light screen setting, normal, silent, and performance cooling modes. Also, Acer Care Center offers software updates, tune-up, and recovery options.
PCMag - Eric Grevstad

Specifications - The Acer Swift X comes with a 2TB SSD, Wi-Fi 6 support, AMD Ryzen 5 5600U processor backed by 8GB of RAM, Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3050 GPU. You can also upgrade it to AMD Ryzen 7 5800U with 16 GB of RAM, and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3050 Ti.
Storage - It offers 2 storage slots, with one containing a 512 GB NVME SSD, which can be expanded through the second storage slot. It has a swappable Wi-Fi card but memory is soldered on the mother board.
Matthew Moniz
Usage - The Acer Swift X is designed for a basic content creation, and regular day-to-day tasks while being allowed to take anywhere with its light weight. The processor and graphics chip are able to handle raw photo editing and simple video editing.

- SFX14-51G vs SFX14-41G
- Swift 3X vs Swift X
HP Envy 14 vs Swift X - The aluminum chassis in the Swift X is compact, size is almost similar to the HP Envy 14. Both are 0.7” thick, while Swift X is at 3.1 pounds, which is a little lighter than the 3.3 pounds HP Envy 14. The Swift X’s power brick is also compact.
