Swift Go 16 Laptop | 16" 1920 x 1200 Touch Display | Intel Core Ultra 9 13th Gen i9-13900H | 16GB LPDDR5X | 1TB SSD | Wi-Fi 7

This laptop is well designed, well built, and is fast. Has nice features, good amount of memory. SSD is nice.

I picked up the Acer Swift X 14 (14.5" OLED, 2880x1800, 120Hz, RTX 4060, Intel Core Ultra 7 155H). After a week of light gaming and general use, here’s my take: Pros - The OLED display is stunning. Sharp, vibrant, no ghosting, and smooth response times in games. - Solid build quality. Doesn’t flex or wobble, keyboard feels better than average, and the trackpad is smooth. No numpad (a plus for me). - USB-C charging is convenient. Cons - Preloaded Acer bloatware drags the system down at first. Out of the box, the fans roared and performance tanked until Windows updates and Acer apps stopped hogging resources. I uninstalled everything except AcerSense. - The RTX 4060 is crippled. It’s hard-capped at 60W in firmware, even in Turbo mode. A 4060 should easily go over 100W, so this is wasted potential. BIOS is locked down, so no fixes there. - Heavy reliance on AcerSense. You can’t adjust fan curves in BIOS or use third-party tools like Afterburner. The only way to manage performance at a firmware level is through Acer’s software. - Gaming requires toggling modes with Fn+F. Silent mode drops the GPU to ~30W, which is too weak for games but keeps noise tolerable. Turbo maxes out at 60W, still underpowered but at least playable. A 4050 would’ve made more sense for this chassis. - Cooling is underwhelming. Fine for light gaming, but below average for a laptop with this hardware. Verdict: I wouldn’t pay full price ($1,499). At the ~$1,000 sale price it’s acceptable: fantastic screen, solid everyday laptop, and light gaming capability if you can tolerate Acer’s restrictions. At retail, there are far better options. Note: This design choice is absurd. A modern laptop should automatically manage fan speed and GPU power depending on the workload. Instead, Acer forces you to manually toggle between Silent and Turbo with Fn+F. Browsing the web? Fans idle fine. Launch a game? It should crank power up on its own. But no—you have to babysit it. This is dumb for so many reasons, and frankly worth knocking a star off by itself. Rant: Acer wasn't shy about throwing "AI" around to advertise this product which is kind of ironic considering it can't automate basic computer functionality. It is BEYOND stupid that each mode has is pegged to different fan curves AND sets the dedicated GPUs power limit EVEN WHEN THE DEDICATED GRAPHICS IS BEING USED INSTEAD OF THE 4060!?!?!? Absolutely braindead. Its frustrating because its a nice laptop but could have been REALLY good. The people at Acer who made these decisions should be fired. I cannot believe there's an RTX 4070 version of this laptop. That is insane considering there's a GPU shortage going on RIGHT NOW. Recommendation: If you care more about gaming and want a normal looking laptop, I'd highly recommend a Lenovo Legion laptop. Amazing laptop, just does not have nearly as nice of a screen as this one but its better at everything else. Get a 4060 version of that one maybe. I had a 3050 version but my mom hijacked it lol. If you see it on sale for $1k as I did I'd say its worth it but I feel bad about having an entire 4060 that performs like a 3060 in a gaming laptop chassis MAYBE.

La compre para mi trabajo ya que debo tener una laptop de buena definicion de video y esta me funciona perfecto

Es buena. La batería dura poco pero hace todo bien

Computer doesn't compute! Microsoft OS won't allow use. This is really probably a Microsoft (Windows 11) problem; sorry 'bout that, Acer. But, I need a computer to compute! The screen looks sharp enough, the keyboard good enough. But the process of setting up the computer leads nowhere. Microsoft requires that you set up an account. I don't want an account with Microsoft but since it is forced upon me I guess I have to go along with it. Nothing new there. One of the attached photos shows instructions saying "once you've created a Microsoft account you can log in, in a different way, as a local user." Unfortunately this point is never reached. After following the instructions for creating an account, I (repeatedly) got the message shown in the second photo. Success! I proved I was a human. After that, absolutely nothing. No "next step", nothing more to click or enter. The computer is simply stalled. The only option is a "back arrow" and using that just takes you back to steps you already performed. I did try this - 4 times in fact. I also tried rebooting. Nothing worked. The setup process is really kind of idiot-proof; it's not like I/you ever have any option. The only one option I had was whether to sign in with an existing Microsoft account, or create a new one. I am sorry that what seems to be a nice, sweet little computer, fairly high quality, simply cannot be made to work. The computer is no more useful than a brick. It is/was literally a waste of time. It'd be aggravating also but I actually expected something like this. Microsoft seems to make the setup process more and more restrictive and intrusive. I expected that. What I did not expect was, that once you go through the install process, the computer still does not work. Buy a different computer, save yourself the hassle and discouragement.
