Acer Swift 3X initial
Design
- Screen: 14-inch Full HD IPS LCD display, 84% screen-to-body ratio Finishes: Safari Gold (as pictured), Steam Blue Thickness: 17.8mm / Weight 1.37kgs Fingerprint scanner on body Improved airflow & vents
Performance
- Ports: 1x USB-C (Thunderbolt 4), 2x USB-A (3.2, Gen 2) 1x HDMI, 1x 3.5mm Up to 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 12GB RAM Intel Iris Xe Max discrete graphics 58.6Whr battery - 17.5hrs life Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) connectivity
To recap
This ‘X’ version might see the Swift 3 break free from its once budget shackles - but while its innards, with Intel’s Iris Xe Max discrete graphics, are a step ahead, the overall build quality is still missing a trick. Still, there’s a lot of potential for the asking price.
