ACER SWIFT X14 Review (2023) SFX14 71G // RTX 4050 + i7 13700h

[@JustANormDude]

Just got this laptop and I'm loving it! A laptop that can game without the gamery look, amazing screen and decent battery life. The fan noise is definitely annoying but you just get used to it. Good Laptop for the price

[@gravel-eu8sj]

It's dirt cheap in Australia, 16GB model for $1400 AUD which is around $920 USD. admittedly that model only has 3050 with 4GB VRAM but still well worth the price especially since it's the only laptop for that price with a display that good, 2.8K OLED 120hz.

[@sheikhrayan9538]

If there is a Acer Swift X model, let's say a R7 6800H (or R7 7735H) + RTX4050 with the last gen 60hz LCD screen that retails around 1000 USD (or slightly more). It would be an instant buy!

[@alieffauzanrizky7202]

Definitely agree. OLED is great but the burn in risk really scratched my back

[@SerCommander]

The price is beyond ridiculous in EURO. What do they want, for the product to flop spectacularly?

[@Hubwood]

Well it's the official price on the acer website. Maybe it will be cheaper in stores and shops. Hopefully. Because you're absolutely right.

[@MultiNouaman]

Can you review the HP Victus RTX 4060, please? It's cheap. It comes without windows, and other than a French review I saw, there is nothing on KZbin

[@vunguyen-im2qm]

hi bro, this one or yoga slim 7 pro x with ryzen 6900hs + 3 is better for office and gaming sometimes? Thanks so muchhh

[@askyourmama5862]

You should review Vivobook Pro 16 i5 13500h 4050 65w. It has lower CPU but a little bit more wattage in GPU than this. It will be nice to see the comparison.

[@rmmm329]

Too bad I have the 5800u 3050Ti version or I would buy this, especially for the screen.

[@freddyhung]

An AMD version should have kept the whole model philosophy more in line with the original 2021 model which i still love and use as my main laptop!

[@Hubwood]

yeah, agreed!

[@beataoo]

What is the problem with Intel? Screw ur 2021 version bro. I agree Intel was not great at that point but now it's mobile CPUs are monstorous, no hate for amd, and amd cpu laptop is still good but i7 13700h man c'mon, who needs amd when we have 14 cores in that monster 😁

[@vmafarah9473]

@@beataoo13700h CPUs are monstrous if it was in desktop. I need TSMC 4nm 7940 hs has 8 real cores 17.4k on cinebenchr23 out of 8 cores of AMD that can last 2X than intel, unplugged performance is much better2X better.1 AMD CORE EQUALS 1.74 times OF INTEL. c'mon, who needs you if you cant last longer 😁.

Now now now kids. We don't argue about that here. All CPUs are beautiful 😜

[@ElPresidentedEscolar]

Shot it for 850€ witht the reviewed specs. Hope the fan noise doesn't fuck me up too much. Although I think I'm gonna miss a 4G/5G modem.

[@Hubwood]

850€ is an awesome deal for that Laptop 😮😎

[@ElPresidentedEscolar]

@@Hubwood aight then, I'll give it a chance then. Thx!

[@MrPirateking619]

I dont knw if i missed it but plz unscrew the bottom panel remove it and show us the inside it gives viewers an idea abut the cooling ram upgrade options no of slots no of nvme slots is wifi soldered or removable again m not sure of u did but if u did remove it den ignore dis comment!

[@Hubwood]

I didn't. But you can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enfRZal7pMmgqs0

[@cristiankojouharov2412]

Does anyone know if the fan loudness was fixed ?

[@nasunapz]

Review on 16 inch version and maybe lenovo slim pro 9i

[@nasunapz]

Yeah

[@gabnrami]

This is a very good laptop, I was impressed with the performance but the right usb got loosey after some months. Also lack of ports and sd card trader is a lil disappointment. But it has a great value u can get one used for 500-600usd

[@the1HLT]

What’s Windows like these days? I’ve always used Macs but this looks like a decent machine, and I wouldn’t mind being able to play some casual/strategy computer games, which I miss on my PlayStation.

[@ГригорийЕвдакидзе]

So usefull balanced and just great review! Thank u very much.)

[@Hubwood]

Thanks for the kind feedback!

[@alicankarakaya2770]

European prices are ridiculous.

[@Hubwood]

As often lately in all laptops compared to the US market...

[@adoo947]

I would instantly cop this laptop if it was available right now in the U.S too bad I gotta wait until august, it's a great mix between productivity on the go and being able to play intensive games and the specs look great on paper.

[@Hubwood]

August? What? :O

[@mansonfei7656]

I can't stand fan noise. I believe it might have even contributed to my tinnitus. Could you recommend a quiet Windows laptop? Or do you think a MacBook with Parallels would be a better choice? Thanks for your help!

[@TheLittleMaestro2911]

it's a decent laptop i guess but i'm more of a battery+performance guy.Really wished for a ryzen variant.

[@NootNoot.]

Pretty great laptop, shame that the fans aren't tweaked. Price tag is high, but seems like the only kind of its class, its feature set is that of a windows alternative to macbook. The display and port selection are killer features. Great review!!!

[@RandomUser-tj3mg]

Asus also has zenbook pro 14 oled and will launch Vivobook pro 14 and 14x oled

[@alieffauzanrizky7202]

We will need to wait for a huge discount from acer to make this laptop more worth it like their 2021 version

[@JoseMariArceta]

I think it's regular ddr5 soldered since it's standard speeds. I had a thinkpad before with 3200mhz ddr4 soldered as well and it wasn't lpddr4 which has better power characteristics. Just for your information

[@donjohnson2428]

Great review, really appreciated you going into detail into the gaming performance. Thinking about getting this laptop but with an AMD CPU for better battery performance.

[@terpled4800]

Feel kinda sad cuz i love the ice spirit but it definitely makes sense you just get wayy to mich value

[@JkidGamer21]

Anyone know of alternatives to this with similar specs? I was really interested in this until the part about bad cooling and loud fans, need something to finish uni off strong

[@toto3777]

Thanks for covering the fan noise, how does the heat seep through the keyboard under load? I hate it when they start heating up on my hand after hours of use

[@Hubwood]

It's getting warm.... Pretty warm...

[@dolphinclicks]

I know it's unrelated. But the Asus Tuf A17 and F17 are advertised to come with I think 240hz, 100% DCI-p3 screen options by ASUS themselves on KZbin and their own site, but I can't find them for sale anywhere, and nobody has talked about it? Do they actually make them?

[@ElPresidentedEscolar]

Koreans are just sloppy when it comes to their laptop marketing.

[@marcelkrownmotorworks9842]

Nice review, but unfortunately one important thing is missing. When talking about the noise of the laptop, it would have been very good, to show it to the audience. Simply record the noise and showed it to us. Without, it is hard to imagine, how it sounds

[@Hubwood]

Noted! I now have a Dezibel measurement device. Recording the noise is a bit hard since it depends on much on the microphone, and the speakers or headset and the volume of the viewer.

[@marcelkrownmotorworks9842]

@@Hubwood Sounds good. Thx.

[@unluckyboy893]

This is laptop I looking for

[@felixzhang8842]

According to the review of a famous Chinese channel, this laptop's temperature of keyboard is way too high when gaming, even the WASD part could be more than 45 degrees. I hope ACER could design a new model with a better cooling system with two fans next year.

[@Hubwood]

Yeah as mentioned it became really hot in gaming. I also think 2 fans would have made alot of sense... Or instead use a more power efficient AMD u CPU from the beginning....

[@sheikhrayan9538]

@@Hubwood like 6800h/7735H which are budget cpus and are way more energy efficient than intel ones.

[@princedigna7597]

Does it have MUX Switch?
