Acer Swift X SFX16-51G 16 Inch Laptop - (Intel Core i7-11390H, 8GB, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, Full HD Display, Windows 11, Silver)

I didn't order this laptop until I carried out hours of research. There will always be something that someone dislikes about any laptop, but we all have our own preferences and that's not a bad thing. The touch pad is sensitive and you need to get used to it and as to where you click it for different uses. But like anything, it takes a little time, but you will soon get to master it. Otherwise it's fine.I've seen one video on YouTube where someone remarked on it only being available in grey (to each his/her own, I like it though). However, it is manufactured in aluminium and looks and feels great. It's lighter than most laptops I've used. It helps that it doesn't have a heavy removable battery clipped to it's 'undercarriage'.The Intel core i7 12th generation processor is fast, really fast.Storage is in the form of a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD and can be updated. There is an additional slot to add another M.2 NAMe SSD (I've just ordered another 1TB today).There is 16GB of RAM fitted and is not upgradeable, but I really don't have a problem with that. 16GB of RAM is more than enough for most uses (with a few exceptions like hard core gamers and such like).What I really like is the amount and choice of USB slots etc (see info on Amazon).The HD screen is a nice touch. The quality is excellent when watching a film or looking at hi-res photos. The sound is good enough through its built in speakers, but it it isn't that loud, good enough for listening to music and films. Connect some headphones and you won't be disapointed!Like most laptops these days, it doesn't come with a CD / DVD player, which allows more space for Acer to incorporate extras, like an excellent cooling system (that is extremely quite and efficient). You can get external plug and play CD/DVD player/burners for around £20 or so.If you want to know more to to Acer website, downloads. Enter model no and download user manual for free.In short: Excellent fast performing, thin, light and yet a very robust laptop. 16inch screen makes a difference ( though I have been using an HP 17inch up until recently).Brief note: Word within the computing industry is that all laptop manufacturers will stop making 15 and 17 inch laptops. Laptops will come with industry standard 16 and 18 inch screens. As to when this will happen is anyone's guess, but as the Acer 16 inch was released in 2022 then I expect it will happen sooner rather then later.

Needed a replacement laptop. Have used ASUS in the past for many years but not too happy with the one I purchased 3 years ago as it was now failing to boot on too many occasions. Having ready many reviews on line I settled on this Acer model which had what I wanted. Works great, is fast and seems a sturdy build.Can't stand cheep fexible plastic models.The only thing i would have prefered woud be to have a built in wired network port but the purchase of an Amazon Basics USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Internet Adapter over came this issue.

First up I really like this laptop, light, good battery length, good screen.Don't use gaming so can't comment.Do use for small business and, internet etc.Why not 5*? If I could give 4.5 I would. As I said, easy to use, just what i needed plenty of storage. Downsides only one USB port. Cant have mouse and second screen at same time unless I use my extra USB port thing, which isn't a huge deal but annoying. For my set up battery cable on wrong side, again not huge issue, bit cable is bent back which in long term may cause damage. USB is on right side as left handed.Real issue which is not the laptop, is windows 11 is installed which if you like it is great you dont have to purchase it separately. But I hate it, particularly new outlook. So I have installed last version of windows, but laptop keeps trying to update it.Yesterday finger recognition didn't work maybe due to cold hands, so had issue logging in, so have now set up a pin. Should have done before, but an oh no moment.All in all a nice little laptop, would def recommend.

The laptop is great, it works for my gaming and school needs. The price of the laptop was also very good. However, the customer service was truly amazing, messages and reminders of the item’s whereabouts and overall attention to detail. They wanted the ensure the safe arrival of a high value item and they did. Great seller overall.

Bought said product, and company were prompt with possible incurred taxes / duties.Delivery was very fast and customer service was brilliant.Would buy again!

I really wanted to love this laptop. The reviews all looked great. But in reality the battery life is nowhere near as good as my previous HP Spectre 360 laptop. It's also much heavier. I thought it would be worth it for the dedicated graphics card, but in reality that has made little difference to performance.I miss my HP laptop.

I love it. It's very lightweight and has a very long battery life

Fast, great graphics and good battery life
