Acer Swift X 16

The latest Acer Swift X 16 comes loaded with an Intel Arc GPU, giving it a leg up over laptops running on integrated graphics, but it lags behind in gaming performance and it’s difficult to see exactly who this model was made for. Despite that, it’s still a sturdy laptop with an excellent 2.5K display, lots of physical ports, and a very comfortable keyboard.
