Reviews for the Acer Swift X OLED SFX14-72G, RTX 4070
Source: PC Mag
The Acer Swift X 14 (SFX14-72G) is a potent workhorse with some extra qualities that make it an admirable, if not field-leading, buy. The performance you get for the price is excellent, beating out quite a few competitors by a considerable margin. That’s plainly seen in our graphics benchmarks, where its GeForce RTX 4070 netted the Acer sizable wins over comparably priced rivals. Acer's stodgy keyboard design could be better, and the drab looks of the system could be spruced up by more than just the gorgeous OLED display. But if you're after a robust yet portable machine offering clear value, the Swift X 14 checks the right boxes. Given the small changes between configurations, it's safe to say the lower-end variants should be competitive, as well.

The Acer Swift X 14 is a light and thin powerhouse of a machine designed for content creators. With an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and Nvidia RTX 4070 there wasn’t much I could throw at the Swift X 14 that it couldn’t handle. Between its fast general performance, smooth editing and gaming performance, satisfying keyboard, and decent battery life, the Swift X 14 is nearly perfect as a content-creation platform. It’s got HDMI and USB-C ports that allow you to connect extra monitors if you need additional editing space, a solid TPM security system, and a serviceable webcam. The Swift X 14’s display is its only weak point.

The Swift X 14 is a great pick for those who are looking for an OLED ultraportable backed by RTX power but who don't have the budget for the better-built Dell XPS 14 9440. Meanwhile, other 14-inch OLED models, such as the Asus ZenBook14 Q425M, HP Spectre x360 14 and Lenovo Slim 7i, don't offer RTX options. It's more common to find an OLED display and RTX graphics in 16-inch content creation laptops, including the Dell XPS 16 9640, HP Spectre x360 16 and Acer's own Swift X 16.

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

71%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
