Acer’s Swift X 14 is loaded up with all the latest trimmings while keeping the chassis compact.

Graphics performance is some of the best I’ve seen among 14-inch systems.

Overall stability isn't ideal, as I encountered weird visual hiccups like flickering images during my week with the system.

While the Swift X 14 has some positive aspects, it’s a little difficult to determine who exactly it’s for—presumably the casual gamer or graphic designer who’s always on the go and thus has to pack light. That could be a possibility, but the Swift just doesn’t perform well enough to justify its luxe $ 1,700 price tag, and the bruisingly loud fan and heat problems do nothing to further that case..
