Acer Swift X

Strengths

The display is fantastic, color accurate, and large with a good color gamut.

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.
