New Acer Swift X laptops are headed your way, packing NVIDIA and Intel Arc graphics
12th Gen Intel Core processors are on the menu as well.
What you need to know
- Acer has two new Swift X laptops headed to consumers, though the company says exact pricing and availability will vary by region.
- The new Swift Xs sport 16:10 displays, 12th Gen Intel Core processors, as well as NVIDIA and Intel Arc graphics.
- The two laptops feature fresh colorways distinct from most of the competition.
Acer's new Swift X models (SFX14-51G and SFX16-52G) are on the way and they're packing everything from 16:10 displays to the latest and greatest in Intel's CPU and GPU arsenal. Arc GPUs are Intel's attempt to better compete with NVIDIA's and AMD's offerings in the graphics space, so how the Swift X fares will be worth keeping an eye on for anyone interested in potentially doing a total conversion to Team Blue.
Both machines weigh under four pounds and are relatively compact on the dimensional front, meaning they're ready for easy transportation. And they're both packing Windows 11, though that's something of a given at this point.
For those planning to use these laptops for work calls or general Zooming, have no fear, Acer's proprietary tech is here. The Swift Xs come packed with Acer PurifiedVoice with AI Noise Reduction and Acer TrueHarmony. Though those terms are a bit of a mouthful, the point is they'll give you a better overall audio experience than you'd have otherwise.
