Cooled by TwinAir technology using 2 fans, 3 heat pipes and an air grill, it has an elegant look with its slim and light dark silver design in a comfortable format.

This versatile multimedia laptop for gamers and creatives is good with its 2 USB 4 Type-C, its Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6E X wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely, its practical HDMI video output for easy connection to a TV or monitor. Coordinates connectivity. For example, its Ethernet and audio ports also guarantee 10 times faster transfer than USB 2.0 when plugged into its 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) USB 3.0 devices.

You can authenticate through fingerprint recognition using a biometric reader and Windows Hello technology.

To better distinguish the keys in the dark, simply activate the backlighting system of the chiclet keyboard.

The screen stands out on several counts such as its OLED DCI-P3 features which allow it to offer much more faithful colorimetry than average, both horizontally and vertically, with great black depth as well as remarkable viewing angles.
In addition, its minimal latency and its frequency of 120Hz, higher than the standard 60Hz, reinforces overall fluidity, including games.
The screen is also distinguished by its 3K definition, which is significantly higher than Full HD, ideal for high definition content, while its 16:10 format displays more information in height than the classic 16:9 format.

Performance, battery life of Acer Swift X 16 SFX16-61G-R2Z1

Acer Swift

It has an SSD with a large capacity of 2000 GB, twice the average, enough to install and store multiple games, software and files, including personal productions if needed.

SSDs guarantee better fluidity and responsiveness on a day-to-day basis than hard drives. Because in addition to being more shock resistant, quieter, and more energy efficient, SSDs are faster.

Thanks to the SSD, start/stops, multimedia processing and game/software launches are much faster and you can access online game cards much faster.

We can actually play the latest games thanks to this gaming ultrabook as it has a dedicated GeForce RTX 4050 ray tracing NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics card. But only if we are willing to make concessions under greedy titles. Because the 3K definition of the screen requires more graphics calculations than Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.

In practice, the GeForce RTX 4050 is used by NVIDIA Optimus technology to carry out graphics processing considered too heavy for the Radeon 780M graphics module housed in the processor.

With GeForce RTX 4050 or Radeon 780M you can view photos and videos but also play light games. Above all, it consumes less energy which promotes autonomy.
In this area, expect about 5 hours of battery operation in light use.

Optimus therefore switches between Radeon 780M and GeForce RTX 4050 automatically and in real-time as needed.

The Radeon 780M is paired with a Ryzen 9 7940HS, AMD Phoenix Octo Core processor coupled with a massive amount of 32 GB of RAM, providing unmatched overall power delivered by most models on the market.

So demanding users will be happy, as will gamers as this core supports the GeForce RTX 4050 well. Creators are not left out as this core guarantees faster processing than quad/hexa core and 8/16 GB DDR4/5. We strongly feel the difference in areas that are intensive in CPU and RAM resources and take advantage of multi-core, such as 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing.

Creative people will appreciate this mobile computer even more because GeForce RTX 4050 accelerates processing under software using GPU computing power like Adobe Premiere/Photoshop, VSDC or Sony Vegas.

Finally, this versatile multimedia creator gaming laptop PC heats up and makes itself heard when pushed hard (eg games, processing).
To limit its temperature, it can be attached to a ventilated support (Remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
