Reviews for the Acer Swift X SFX14-41G-R2DS

Acer Swift X Review: The edge of Ultrabook gaming with caveats
Source: On MSFT English
The Acer Swift is an affordable all-around device that may lack in the style department, but offers solid productivity and light gaming experiences out-of-the-box. Where the Swift X mostly stumbles are its connectivity which can be slow at many times thanks to the outdated MediaTek Wi-Fi configuration and the excessive software bloat the comes paired with the laptop out of the box. Besides spending about 30 minutes setting up personal Windows configurations, savvier users will probably spend another half hour to hour hunting down and uninstalling about a dozen useless resource hogging applications and suggested software on the Swift X. However, for around $950, what's two hours of set up for a device with above average battery life, dedicated NVIDIA GPUs and mobile processor that offers a relatively quiet and cool computing experience?

85% Acer Swift X 14 SFX14-41G review (performance ultrabook, AMD Ryzen + RTX)
Source: Ultrabook Review English
This Acer SwiftX 14 is a balanced performance ultraportable able of snappy daily-use multitasking and some good capabilities in light workloads and games. It's also built well, offers a fair-quality matte IPS screen, alright IO, and long battery life. My gripes with this design are the single-fan thermal module that blows hot air into the screen and the poor audio quality, as well as the white-lit mushy keyboard. All in all, though, this is a good-value choice at around 1000-1100 USD/EUR, as long as you're willing to trade the performance you would get on a full-size laptop within a similar budget for the portability of this laptop.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.


85.5%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
