Top 5 reasons to BUY or NOT to buy the Acer Swift 3X (SF314-510G)

Acer’s Swift 3 lineup has become increasingly crowded with every passing year, and it is really getting difficult to differentiate their devices if you are a regular consumer looking for your next laptop. What they have decided to try this time is to add an X to the name of their machine in order to signify that their device is the first-ever to feature Intel’s discrete Intel Iris Xe Max GPU.

Here is our in-depth review of the Acer Swift 3X (SF314-510G): https://laptopmedia.com/review/acer-swift-3x-sf314-510g-review-discrete-graphics-from-intel-why-not/

Without further ado here are our Top 5 picks about the Acer Swift 3X (SF314-510G).


4 reasons to BUY the Acer Swift 3X (SF314-510G)

1. Тhe design and the build quality

Acer’s Swift devices have always delivered in this department. This Swift 3X continues that legacy with an aluminum alloy body and a stylish design. With the premium aluminum body comes increased durability and a thinner, more lightweight device. Weighing in at 1.37kg and a profile of 17.9mm it offers great portability for a 14-inch machine.


2. The Performance

In terms of performance, this device offers plenty of it. It comes with the new Tiger Lake-based Intel Core i7-1165G7 and the first-ever Intel discrete GPU –  the Intel Iris Xe Max. We have already seen what the integrated Iris Xe Graphics G7 can do, and we can’t imagine what performance improvements this new GPU will bring to the table when the drivers get sorted out.

3. The Display

The display on this Acer Swift 3X is a Full HD IPS panel. It covers 96% of the sRGB color gamut, good contrast ratio, and comfortable viewing angles. Moreover, it has an average dE value of 0.8 when our Gaming and Web design profile is applied. This means that the device is great for video editors, designers, and professionals.

Mit dem Kauf von LaptopMedia-Produkten erhalten Sie nicht nur effiziente und gesundheitsschonende Profile, sondern Sie unterstützen auch die Entwicklung unserer Labore, in denen wir Geräte testen, um möglichst objektive Testberichte zu erstellen.

Büroarbeit

Office Work sollte vor allem von Benutzern verwendet werden, die die meiste Zeit mit dem Betrachten von Textstücken, Tabellen oder einfach nur mit dem Surfen verbringen. Dieses Profil zielt darauf ab, durch Beibehaltung einer flachen Gammakurve (2,20), einer nativen Farbtemperatur und wahrnehmungsgerechten Farben eine bessere Deutlichkeit und Klarheit zu liefern.

Design und Spiele

This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

Gesundheitsschutz

Health-Guard eliminiert die schädliche Pulsweitenmodulation (PWM) und reduziert das negative blaue Licht, das unsere Augen und unseren Körper beeinflusst. Da er für jedes Panel maßgeschneidert ist, schafft er es, die Farben wahrnehmungsgetreu zu halten. Health-Guard simuliert Papier, so dass der Druck auf die Augen stark reduziert wird.

1. The Upgradeability

Where the device falls short, in our opinion is in its lack of upgradability. While there are two M.2 PCIe x4 slots, the fact that the RAM is soldered onto the motherboard means that if you want the laptop to last you a couple of years at least, you would have to spec it out to the fullest to get the 16GB of RAM.
