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.

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.

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.
