Overview


The Swift X is the ideal laptop for creators who need both performance and portability, with a professional-grade screen, powerful processor, and NVIDIA RTX graphics all housed within a sleek metal chassis.

At the heart of the Swift X is the Intel Core i5-1240P, this powerful processor features a combination of 4 ‘performance’ cores and 8 ‘efficiency’ cores to gives you the perfect balance between power and battery life. Combined with 8GB of RAM, it lets you multi-task with ease, while the 512GB SSD gives you plenty of space for all your documents, media and files.
The addition of the NVIDIA RTX 3050 graphics card elevates the Swift X to a new level of performance, allowing it to handle more graphically-complex tasks such as photo editing and video editing, making it the perfect companion for content creators.

The 14” Quad HD+ IPS screen features a 16:10 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2240x1400, for incredibly sharp detail. Additionally, the Swift X’s display supports 100% of the sRGB colour gamut, which is ideal for professional graphic design work, as well as a maximum brightness of 300nits so you can easily use it in brighter environments.

To help you get the most out of this premium hardware, the Swift X features an array of ingenious cooling solutions to allow the laptop to run faster and smoother for longer without sounding like a jet taking off.
The dual heat-pipes help transfer heat away from the CPU and GPU as efficiently as possible. This is then complimented by the cooling fan which can not only intake cool air from beneath the laptop, it can also draw air in through the keyboard to maximum cooling performance.

The Swift X manages to fit all this into an aluminium body that measures less than 18mm thick, imbuing it with a sleek style that looks great wherever you take it. It also weighs in at a mere 1.4kg, meaning that whether you’re heading to a business meeting, walking between classes or travelling for any other reason, it’s perfect for carrying with you.
The body also features Acer’s OceanGlass touchpad which uses recycled plastics gathered from coastal waterways, to improve sustainability and help the planet.

The Swift X also comes with a full complement of the latest connectivity options, for added convenience. With tri-band Wi-Fi 6E, you get blazing-fast speeds as well as reduced lag and drop-outs allowing you to get online easier than ever.
The Swift X doesn’t want for physical connections either. Its two USB-C ports are Thunderbolt 4 compatible, offering high-speed data transfer, 100W charging and support for multiple external 4K displays all via a single cable. You also get 2 more USB ports and an HDMI 2.1 port, to ensure you can connect a wide range of accessories and external displays without any hassle.

The Swift X is a great choice for content creators and other people who need a capable laptop for graphics work without sacrificing portability. The powerful hardware, stunning screen, custom engineered cooling solution and advanced connectivity let you work from anywhere with ease.
