@@MatthewMoniz Irrelevant. You won't be able to play games on this anyway. It's too thin and will throttle quickly. Thunderbolt ports on ultrabooks are just a gimmick.
I just bought this laptop (i7 16Gb with a dedicated MX250)... I don't care that much about its weight and battery life to be honest, sure I'm going to use this on the go, at work and in trains, because I already have a desktop at home, but I won't travel enough to the point that it matters that much to me. I bought it because it's an i7 10th gen with 16 Gb of ram and an MX250, so I'm going to try and see if it's really not performing that well, I'm kinda disappointed to see only one fan... The thing is, the competition really sucks, there's the Asus Zenbook 13/14 which is better in every aspect but no Thunderbolt 3 is a deal breaker for me (I'm going to use an eGPU, sure very occasionally, but I need it). The XPS 13 2-in-1 is nice and performs really well, I tried it and it's a beast and feels really premium, sure it also costs way more and the SSD is soldered so I'm kinda afraid to have to send it back if the SSD fails after the very short 1 year warranty, but my main issue with it is the absolute lack of quality constrol from Dell, both XPS 13 I had in my hands suffered from HORRIBLY LOUD and constant coil whine, I couldn't bear it in a quiet room. What's left ? The HP spectre, but I hear it's more or less the same as the XPS, with the same issues, so I don't know if I should bother trying. So here I am buying a laptop which is technically not the kind I'm looking for. Thanks for the review, I searched everywhere but couldn't find anyone else showing CPU performance numbers and opening the back of the laptop.
@@phil.s.3362 Oh boy that's good news, would have preferred 2 fans I believe there's room in 14" but it's better than I expected. I'm getting it today and testing it. 63°C is perfect but what's the CPU speed at that temperature ? Matthew shows speed under 1GHz which is.. Dramatically low. Does the second heat pipe changes that much ?
I have had the i7, 16 gb of ram and the 512 SSD now for about a month and the only thing that i have noticed so far is the finger print reader won't always work on the first go. You have to do it multiple passes sometimes. It runs Photoshop and Lightroom effortlessly all the while running multiple programs at the same time. The only real downfall (for me) is i have to use a thunderbolt 3 card reader to transfer my photo's. Not a big deal as i just leave the dongle in my carry case anyway. If your thinking of one, you won't be disappointed.
Mattew, congrats for the video. Can I ask you why in the link this model is shown with a cine crystal IPS display? Isn't that technology for a glossy screen? I have watched all the RUclips videos for Swift 5 2019 , everybody presents matte screens but all models that I find specs, including this one, are cine crystal. Matte touchscreen is the thing that attracts me to this model, also wifi ax standart and the colour. Once again congratulations for the video.
Hi Matthew Moniz, I just bought this exact model off Amazon three days before your review ( I use it for studying machine learning, beginner ), can U please explain a bit more about CPU under-clocking the GPU, and if u suggest users like myself to overclock the CPU? i.e. does the motherboard and CPU allow overclocking? How much overclocking is the sweet-spot... Regarding power drainage, will overclocking the CPU in a non-plugged-in state damage the battery in anyway(e.g. longevity, rapid charging capabilities)? Hope you can address these in your in-depth review, I look forward to it. Regards, Matt
Hi @M8B2L8, You have posted this almost 2 months ago. I have the same question regarding his point on how the CPU bottlenecks the GPU. So what's your feedback on it now that you have used it for a while? Is it true that it isn't great for handling high heavy performance? Is it impossible to push it to its maximum potential?
Really good quality review, but just one correction is needed. The integrated GPU is not Iris Plus HD 640. It is the new Iris Plus G7 graphics, which is included in these 10th gen processors. This new GPU is far superior in performance than anything Intel has released in the past.
Hey man wanted to ask you a question I'm new to the gaming world and don't rly know what I'm doing but this might sound stupid but do you need a pc for your monitor because I'm thinking about getting the predatorx27 because it's really powerful and all but I don't know if I also need to buy a pc as well would rly appreciate if you reply and if I do need one what should I be looking for based on parts for the build or should I get a prebuilt one
Can you review the new version of the acer swift 5? It has dual copper pipes (an upgrade to this trashcan), MX350 graphics, and the new intel cpu + gpu. Would love to see a review!
Can you review the acer swift 3 with ryzen 5 configuration? I think its really interesting to have a laptop with long battery life plus has light gaming capabilities for really cheap.
i need a mid range best video editing laptop. could you please suggest me which one will be better for me? my budget range is $1500-2000 AUD. Thank you.
You want light that doesn't make a lot of sound. Get the new surface pro 7 it is light and the i5 variants doesn't even have a fan. 🤷♂️ if you are getting light then surface pro 7 would be the best bet. Otherwise dont go that light go for something that is near 1.35kgs to 1.6kgs you will get a lot of better performance laptops in this range.
i am looking for a light weight laptop with a wide range of ports and a good battery life. i might do some light gaming as well(dota2). my budget is $1,000 max. can you recommend me one?
Does this laptop that had a 360 convertible design & is pen compatible? I'm asking as a college student in Fine Arts with a concentration in Design. I currently have a 2016 HP Spectre x360 convertible 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop at the moment which isn't pen compatible which is why I'm wondering. I have the late 2016 13-w0XX model. So I might need to upgrade it for the pen compatibility issue & some of the newer design features the new late 2019 Spectres have
Is it also bottlenecking if we use external gpu with it? I am looking for low to medium ultrabook, with thunderbolt. But if bottleneck also happens with egpu, then there is no reason having thunderbolt..
Can someone explain to me how the CPU performance is throttled? Is there any way around this? I was planning on getting this with a eGPU for some gaming, but if the CPU is a bottleneck then it makes so sense.
Please take a look at Asus ZenBook 14 (UX434), I want to know your thoughts on this laptop, and whether you think it deserves its price (there's a version with i7-10thGen processor and with MX250 and 1TB SSD and 16 GB Ram cnx it's 1.25 kg - 1300€). I've been hesitating to buy this for development purposes (heavy programming)
I have tested the Zenbook 13 and it's really good, same specs as the Acer Swift but better cooling and overall better build quality (but a little heavier of course), biggest downside for me is the lack of thunderbolt 3 but if you don't mind it's really good
@@phil.s.3362 I keep hearing and reading about the version with the MX250, but have yet to find one. The only ones i see for sale just have the IRIS PLUS graphics. Even the acer store doesn't have the option to upgrade. EDIT: I should add, that's here in Australia. Not to sure what it's like in other countries. But if they do offer the upgrade elsewhere, why not here.
how can the i5 8th gen is same performance with i7 10th gen as you result.. lol ? so i just bought the 8th gen instead then have same performance as 10th gen , is this ?
Don't understand why more thin and lights don't have Thunderbolt 3 It seems like it would make sense to have that added utility with less powered, compact devices. Looking at you Microsoft Surface 😡
Bro but what about Programmers!? You didn't talk in this video too!! Please describe and let me know as I'm in search of thunderbolt 3 as well. So confused between MSL (Microsoft Surface Laptop) 3 and Acer Swift 5 as Swift 5 also has thunderbolt 3 port!! And lightweight plus less bucks. So what do you think? Please let me know...
The only advantage to a thin-and-light laptop?...is weight. Other than that you're giving up WAY too much! I prefer USB ports...(and not just USB-C!) you give up video ports..(once again..if all you have are USB-C's?...you'll be living the dongle-life for a long time!) I think thicker laptops have their purpose still...and if you need evidence?...take a look at the System76 Serval...or Lenovo's "WS" (aka W-ork S-tation) series!...these laptops have PORTS...and connections other than just a USB-C. I prefer older thicker laptops...yeah...they're heavy...and they might not have the fastest processors, or the speediest SSD's in em...(which in some cases can be alleviated easily with a 2.5" SSD!) but they perform..and I can connect to ANYTHING...without having to use a "USB-to_Whatever" connection cable! Not to mention the sturdiness of thicker laptops....you accidentally bump one of those wafer-thin laptops off a table?...guess who's headed to the repair store?...or shipping it back to get it fixed?.....meanwhile...I own laptops that have: fallen down two flights of stairs in a stairwell fallen off the roof of a car that pulled off suddenly have had bottles of water spilled on it have been sat on "accidentally" and have been pulled off a desk by someone getting their leg entangled with the power cord...and these laptops are STILL WORKING with NO TRIPS to the repair shop! So you can keep your "thin-as-a-Post-It" laptops...I'll take the sturdier, longer lasting stuff. I personally think this is just a move by OEM's to force people to get their wallets out to spend more...the more fragile the device...the more likely you'll be tempted to "just get another one since they're available". Nah....I'll pass.
