Horrid laptop. Graphics flickering issue, and more importantly, the screen completely turns off when something magnetic (your apple watch, phone, anything) is nearby. HOWEVER, contrary to what Acer Support claims, "change what my lid does" on sleep/power off doesn't do anything. Acer Support has been completely ineffective. They will diagnose but not fix any issues.

Acer Support is extremely sketchy. They do not outline the return/replacement process clearly. Speaking to reps over the phone, they will either fail to answer straightforward questions about policy or only answer when you insist at least a handful of times. Managers are also unprofessional. Kegan (who I spoke with over the phone) threw what I would characterize as a "tantrum" or "meltdown" when I informed him that Acer's warranty process is nonsensical.

I highly recommend buying from any other brand: Asus, Lenovo, Apple, etc.. Anything will be superior to Acer, in everything from laptop repair/warranty to the actual specs. Deeply disappointed customer.

Inferior Laptop Compared to Other Brands

Overall a good machine with two notable problems -- whenever my Iphone is in close proximity to the touchpad, the screen blanks -- certainly a good example of a poorly tested machine -- at least from a EMF standpoint - I expect better!  

Screen blanks if I have two videos running -- and the video driver restarts.

poor EMF protection  and driver restarts

I absolutely love this computer! I almost downgraded one level to get the nVidia3060 graphics card but I'm glad I didn't. The graphics on the Swift X1 are absolutely stunning, the colors brilliant. I play a lot of games as well as work. Other reviewers don't think it stands up to the Predator for the serious gamers and they are probably right but I don't do the complex, fast moving online competitive games and for what I do, it's excellent. I also use it web design, make an occasional brochure, keep track of my finances and am always on the net searching for something. I set out looking for a machine with beautiful graphics, a number pad, a good-sized screen (I am not enamored with the trend to postage stamp sized computers) and because I actually have my laptop in my lap for eight to twelve hours a day, I need one that runs comfortably cool for long periods of time. I also want a metal case because plastic is heavy, and I think, rather tacky.

Okay, because nothing is absolutely perfect, I should come up with a complaint of some sort, so here is all I have. I would complain because it's rather pricey, but you get what you pay for. It is rather irksome that only itty-bitty ones come in a choice of colors. My last computer was a Swift 5 and the case was gold color metal. I loved it. I know, that's trivial but it's the only thing I could find to whine about, I love this computer! If you are a serious gamer, spring for the Predator. If you want a versatile machine for business, home, watching video and light game, one is fast, responsive, runs cool and has a beautiful design, you may love the Swift X as much as I do.
