Acer Swift 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

The laptop is overheating, fan always running full speed, after 2 months I'm getting black lines on the screen and need to take to assistance.

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.

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!!

I experienced the keyboard to have atleast a tiny bit of resistance with liquids, so I can atleast clean my laptop if needed.My Touch pad got dirty, and I did the mistake of having a few moisture particles accidently land on the keyboard when cleaning my touchpad with disinfectant spray. Now a few keys don't work at all including the space button. I didn't even spill it, all I had was a bit of my mildly damp paper towel barely rubbing against a few keyboard keys, and that was enough to have like 5 keys stop functioning.Also, this Laptop is incredibly prone to heating or shutting down, if I am using a software like abobe illustrator or cinema 4d, there is times where my Laptop is constantly being shut down by the thermal shut down.I will increase the rating once my keyboard returns to normal, because I didn't expect the mist of my disinfectant spray would damage the keyboard.

I experienced some issue with the keyboard backlight when it works only 2/10 times i press the f11 button.Due to my job i currently living in another country, and there's no any licensed warranty service centres.Acer support doesn't want to help you anyhow. They just sending you a short answer like "you can't do anything" and that's all.Moreover the best help you can find there is acer community, though I can't understand why acer thinks their customers should help each other by themselves.Anyway, laptop is good and decent, but this simple warranty problem could not be solved about 4 months straight so I really doubt I can recommend this brand to you, if you have a lot of long business trips.
