Acer Swift X (SFX16-51G) – Top 5 Pros and Cons
We have always held the Swift X family in high regard, as it seems to be the only consistent laptop in Acer’s portfolio, coming back every year to deliver reliable performance and high-end features. The latest Swift X comes with a large 16.1-inch display which is the ideal platform for the Tiger Lake H35 to have one last ride before it ultimately gets replaced by the Alder Lake P-series. The laptop is game-ready as well, thanks to the RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti. If you’re a productive person, but like to have a bit of fun as well, the laptop will cover all of your needs.
Today we are presenting you with LaptopMedia’s Top 5 picks about the Acer Swift X (SFX16-51G).
Acer Swift X (SFX16-51G): Full Specs / In-depth Review
3 reasons to BUY the Acer Swift X (SFX16-51G)
1. Design and build quality
The whole laptop is made out of metal, which is a testament to the quality and structural rigidity. The device feels great to handle and use, with no creaks or twists, as we vigorously tried to find a weakness of the design. The chassis has a dark grey color, while the Acer logo on the lid has a slightly lighter shade. The lid opens easily with one hand, revealing the lever mechanism, which lifts up the back end of the laptop, thus increasing the free flow of air. In terms of dimensions, the laptop comes with a weight of 1.90 kg and a profile of 18.9 mm.
2. Display quality
The 16.1-inch Full HD display has a large footprint, which anyone can appreciate. Pair that with good portability and you have a daily driver that can be used for entertainment, Gaming, and Creativity. The laptop has comfortable viewing angles, a max brightness of 281 nits in the middle of the screen and 260 nits as an average for the whole area, with a maximum deviation of 10%. The contrast ratio is really high – 1520:1. The real star of the show is the coverage, as the laptop covers 98% of the sRGB color gamut.

The accuracy is decent with the stock settings (left) but becomes even better once we applied our Design and Gaming profile applied (right), which lowers the dE value down to 0.8 from 1.9. Here are the results of our test.

A hatékony és egészségbarát profilok mellett a LaptopMedia termékeinek megvásárlásával laboratóriumaink fejlesztését is támogatja, ahol eszközöket tesztelünk a lehető legobjektívebb értékelések elkészítése érdekében.

Irodai Munka
Az Irodai Munka profilt elsősorban azoknak a felhasználóknak ajánljuk, akik idejük nagy részét szövegek, táblázatok nézegetésével vagy böngészéssel töltik. Ez a profil jobb megkülönböztethetőséget és tisztaságot biztosít egyenletes gamma-görbe (2.20), natív színhőmérséklet és érzékelhetően pontos színek mellett.

Dizájn és Játék
Ez a profil a színekkel hivatásszerűen dolgozó tervezőknek, valamint játékokhoz és filmekhez készült. A Dizájn és Játék a kijelzőpaneleket a határaikra juttatja, a lehető legpontosabbá téve őket az sRGB IEC61966-2-1 szabvány szerint a webre és a HDTV-re, D65 fehérpont mellett.

Health-Guard
A Health-Guard kiküszöböli a káros impulzusszélesség-modulációt (PWM) és csökkenti a negatív kék fényt, amely hatással van a szemünkre és a testünkre. Mivel minden panelhez egyedileg van szabva, a színeket érzékelhetően pontosan tartja. A Health-Guard a papírt szimulálja, így a szemre nehezedő nyomás jelentősen csökken.

3. Battery life
The laptop arrives with a 59Wh battery pack, which is decent and it performs well in our tests. It lasts for 13 hours and 8 minutes of Web browsing, or 9 hours and 5 minutes of video playback. As always, we perform each test with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits, and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with.
2 reasons NOT to buy the Acer Swift X (SFX16-51G)
1. I/O
The I/O could have been perfect if Acer would have added an SD card reader. However, they decided against it, so we are left with still decent coverage. It includes a Thunderbolt 4 port, two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1), an HDMI 2.0 port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
2. Upgradeability
The upgradeability is poor, with the laptop coming with soldered RAM, which could have possibly been prevented, as there seems to be enough free space inside for perhaps a larger mainboard with different positioning. In terms of storage, you’re well covered, with there being two M.2 PCIe x4 slots for SSD expansion.
Here is our teardown video, which shows how to access the insides of the device, including the M.2 slots.
