acerSwift X SFX14-51G-71Y1 Creator Laptop | 14" 2240 x 1400 100% sRGB | 12th Gen Intel i7-1260P | NVIDIA RTX 3050 Laptop GPU | 16GB LPDDR5 | 512GB NVMe SSD | Wi-Fi 6E | Backlit Keyboard | Windows 11

Had this for 10 months now and very pleased. I spent months looking for the best bang for my buck and I was not dissapointed. I wanted something I could game occasionally, do some CAD work, but still carry it around like an Ultra Book. IF you accept that anything with a debilitated video card is going to be limited in battery then this is the right unit. When doing anything that requires the video card to fire up it can get a little noisy with the fan and a bit warm. Also, battery life when using the video card is really poor. I bought a more compact charger which made carrying it around much easier. Just surfing the internet the battery life is decent. Still in compact size that I can use it on a plane or coffee shop. I'd prefer a touch screen but that feature alone would have added $500 to a comparable unit.Highly recommend for my goals and the price point.

I was looking for a light yet powerful laptop to use it for work on my side projects and study. I did my research and I think this is one of the best value laptops of 2022 that is not a gaming laptop.Pros:-Intel 12 Gen 12 cores and 16 threads that's more than enough power.-DDR5 RAM memory, faster than order models with DDR-GTX3050, it's not the super graphics card for gaming, but better than the Intel integrated graphics that other laptops at this price range have.-Intel Thunderbolt 4, high speed and multiple screens can be connected using USB ports, can also be used to connect external graphics card.-decent web cam 1080p-good screen resolution and it looks pretty good imo-cool design, aluminum chasis and a nice green color-works with Linux out of the box, I wanted a laptop to use with Linux for software development, I installed Manjaro and everything works perfect (haven't tried fingerprint since that's not important to me but that might need extra drivers)Cons:-sound it's decent but not impressive-battery life is fair, watching YouTube at 75% screen brightness lasts around 4hrs-RAM is fixed to the motherboard so it can't be upgraded, although 16gb RAM should be more than enough.

This computer seems nice enough out of the box. Easy to set up, runs Windows, etc. I'm sitting there playing a game six days later, and all the sudden a puff of smoke comes out the back. Now I'm sitting here staring at Acer's chat support app. If an agent ever joins the chat, I'll update this review. As of now, it looks like I paid $1,100 for a brick.UPDATE: It took almost six weeks, but I got the laptop factory-repaired for free, and I have it back. It's a nice laptop for what it costs. By way of illustrating that point, the first thing the Acer support people said to me was "this'll be easier if you just send it back to Amazon. They'll give you a replacement immediately, and we'll repair the unit on the back end." Only problem was, a week after I bought it, the laptop was completely backordered.From where I sit, this product seems like the kind of thing where you can get a deal for being willing to put in a little elbow grease. The Acer factory maybe needs better QC, but their Tier-2 tech support handled the problem about as well as could have been expected.If it breaks again I'll update.

I love the graphics on this computer, which are an upgrade for me after my 10 year old Acer Aspire died. That one had touchscreen, which I miss, but this newer Swift is a great laptop. It is lightweight. I love that as sometimes I travel with my computer and lighter is better! The only thing I haven't liked is that even when the sound is at 100, it isn't very loud. Two thumbs up Acer! You have earned my brand loyalty. I LOVED my Aspire, so Acer was the only brand I really wanted to look at when I had to replace it.

work great for playing genshin impact and the sims 4! its also great for school! The battery drain fast when I’m playing! But when I’m using it for school assignments it doesn’t drain fast. Just have your charger on when playing!!

Purchased SF316-51-740H on Sep 11, 2021 and regret my purchase. The battery drains overnight if put in standby, and even if it's completely powered down, it drains about 10% every night. The touchpad's left click area caves in when clicked and gets stuck. On a positive note, I didn't notice any smoke coming from it like the previous reviewer mentioned. This will be my last Acer purchase I make. Overall system works but the battery drain is awful. No better than the garbage Surface Pro 4s but at least I didn't pay $2700+ for this computer.

I've only had it for a couple days, but it fits exactly what I was looking for and has exceeded all my expectations so far.
