However, as it’s a $1,000 laptop some compromises needed to be made. It looks like a budget laptop thanks to the mismatched color tones on the chassis and keyboard, and the fan is too loud even when the laptop is idling. Our biggest complaints about the Swift X have to do with its aesthetics and fan noise. But you can hit 60 fps in most high-fidelity games if you tweak the in-game graphics settings just right. Speaking of gaming, the Swift X falls in the same price range as budget-minded gaming laptops, but the graphics card power draw is capped, so it won’t perform as fast as an actual gaming laptop.
The discrete graphics card kicks in when you perform intensive tasks, like gaming or encoding a long 4K video. This is, in part, due to the laptop automatically switching to its integrated graphics when you perform light tasks like browsing Twitter or sending an email. One of the features of this laptop we liked the most is the battery life, which topped out at nine hours and 25 minutes in our battery test. That doesn’t mean it’s not a nice-looking laptop, just that it comes with a standard 1080p IPS display, 720p webcam, and an okay amount of storage if you plan on gaming occasionally with the Swift X.
