Acer Swift X

THE NEW ACER Swift X (SFX14-41G) notebook represents a new segment within the Swift portfolio. It is the first of its series to come powered with discrete graphics, all at an impressive 1.39kg. Its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU, based on NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture, combined with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U Mobile Processor and 16GB of RAM offers creative professionals such as video editors or photographers plenty of power. True to the Swift family, all this hardware has been fitted into a metal chassis just 17.9mm (0.7in) thin.

The productivity capabilities of the Acer Swift X are further enhanced by up to 2TB of SSD storage, allowing all of a user’s work to be taken with them, and a fast-charging 59W battery that offers up to 17-hours of use.

The Swift X features a 14-inch FHD IPS display with an 85.7% screen-to-body ratio, 300nits brightness, and 100% sRGB—enough for editing 4K video or getting photographs just right. A plentiful array of ports, including full-function USB Type-C, ensure ultra-fast data transfer, video streaming, and battery charging, facilitating this process, while Wi-Fi 6 means faster overall connectivity.

The notebook also includes a fingerprint sensor for more secure sign-in through Windows Hello, AIenhanced noise suppression for smoother video calls, and Acer BlueLightShield technology to help lessen eye strain during long editing sessions.

Built with heavier work sessions in mind, the new Swift X leverages a fan with fifty-nine 0.3mm blades and a pair of D6 copper heat pipes to optimize its thermal efficiency. A number of other innovations also improve the notebook’s cooling efficiency: an air inlet keyboard design expels around 8-10% more heat than a standard keyboard, and a stereo ring with an inclined plane sitting along the top of the fan delivers up to a 5-10% improvement in airflow.
