One of the things that Acer always seems to nail down with its products is value, and it’s done that once again with the Swift X (SFX14-41G-R1S6). It comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U processor, RTX 3050 Ti graphics, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. On top of that, it lives up to the Swift name by coming in a package that weighs barely over three pounds.
The two-tone color schemes make it look pretty, but still unique in colors like Steam Blue, Prodigy Pink, and Safari Gold.The Acer Swift X (SFX14-41G) comes in three colors: Steam Blue, Prodigy Pink, and Safari Gold.
There’s no USB4 just yet, as that’s reserved for newer Ryzen 6000 laptops.As far as ports go, it’s a good selection for the time this was made. On the left side, there’s an HDMI 2.0 port, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. Obviously, there’s no Thunderbolt since this is an AMD laptop; however, newer AMD-powered laptops with Ryzen 6000 chips come with USB4, which is a Thunderbolt 3 equivalent. It’s the difference between 10Gbps data transfer speeds, and potentially 40Gbps.Also on the left side is a pin charging port. The USB Type-C port works fine for charging.
The screen on the Acer Swift X is 14 inches with a 1,920×1,080 resolution, so there’s nothing crazy going on here. It’s still 16:9, so it’s not using any of the newer aspect ratios we’re seeing a lot, like 16:10 or 3:2. It’s 300-nit, anti-glare, and FHD.
The Acer Swift X line is all about power, and packing dedicated graphics into a laptop that fits into the Swift brand. Naturally, that brand is all about being super-light. With an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti and weighing in at barely over three pounds, Acer definitely succeeded here.
And the AMD Ryzen 7 5800U is a good processor. In fact, it’s a really good processor, and we see a lot of AMD Ryzen processors in laptops that provide a lot of value for the money, like this one. If you put a Core i7-1185G7 in here, it would cost more. But while the performance is on par, that’s not the case when not connected to power, unfortunately. It’s a bit of a trade-off. You sacrifice power when on battery, but at the same time, you get a high-end processor at a lower price.
