Pros and Cons

Acer Swift X

Strengths

The display is fantastic, color accurate, and large with a good color gamut.
Battery life is good, especially for an i7-13700H processor, with around 9 hours of productivity, 7.5 hours of streaming video playback, and close to 5 hours for Photoshop work.
The keyboard is quiet, has a medium key press, full-size shift keys on both sides, and a fingerprint reader under the power button.
Performance benchmarks show good results in geekbench single core, cinebench R23, and DaVinci Resolve.

Weaknesses

Multi-core performance drops down the charts quite a bit, especially in Photoshop benchmark compared to other laptops with similar spec outs.
16GB of RAM may cause bottlenecks in After Effects due to its preference for more RAM.
6K video editing is not recommended due to high drop frames and export time (26 minutes and 49 seconds).
Export time for 6K raw footage is relatively long compared to other laptops.

Acer Nitro 7

Strengths

A relatively slim and light gaming laptop that packs a punch, weighing just 2.5 kilos and measuring only 23 millimeters at its thickest point.
Solid value for money, priced at £1,400.
Strong performance from Intel's Core i7 9750H chipset backed by 8GB of DDR4 RAM, with scores of 4718 in PC Mark 10 and 1903779 in Geekbench.
The GeForce GTX 1660 TI card provides no sweat on the graphics front, complete with 6GB of VRAM onboard.
Strong cooling system, with twin fan systems that keep CPU temperature below 95°C and GPU temperature around 80°C during intense gaming sessions.
Long battery life, despite being a gaming laptop, lasting just under an hour of gaming action on a single charge.
Good connectivity options, including three USB ports, one USB-C port, and an HDMI output.
Nice screen with Full HD resolution, perfectly crisp visuals, and 144Hz refresh rate for smooth gaming performance.

Weaknesses

Not the most portable laptop, despite its slim design, due to a weight of 2.5 kilos.
No DisplayPort available, only HDMI output, which may limit users' display options.
No Ethernet connection available, relying on Wi-Fi for connectivity.
Battery life is not spectacular, lasting just under an hour of gaming action on a single charge.
Limited control over fan speed and temperature through the Acer Nitro Sense app.
No one-touch overclock feature like some other Acer gaming laptops.
Stereo speakers are decent but may not provide the full audio experience for gamers.
The keyboard, while good, has a relatively compact design with a dedicated number pad that may feel cramped to some users.
