Your comment cannot be blank.

Featured Comments

Well they aren't in the same class so they shouldn't be compared, but I'll do it anyway. The Acer swift X is a small-medium size 14 inch 3 lb laptop designed for portability first. The Victus is a larger 15 inch 5 lb gaming laptop which prioritizes performance over weight.

So first you should decide how much you value gaming. If you prioritize gaming less then pick up the Acer, as the screen is more color accurate but slow, and the GPU and CPU will be slower due to the lower power design. If you value gaming more then the Victus has a faster screen, more cooling, and a better CPU and GPU (75W 3050 beats a 45W 3050 Ti)

The above commenter is incorrect about the screens, movies will not appear faster on 120hz+, but most games you play on this can be tweaked to run at 75hz which is noticeably smoother than 60hz. After 90 there are diminishing returns in smoothness.
A 14" 1080p color accurate monitor with 100% srgb coverage is pretty decent.
Based purely on specs, this should be better for gaming because of 3050 Ti vs 3050. The CPU in the HP is newer and has slightly higher benchmarks, but it is also much more power hungry, which makes sense since it's built on 10nm as opposed to Acer's that used 7nm, although it's a year older.

HP's screen has higher refresh rate, although it might be wasted for gaming since it's doubtful its GPU can push any recent games to 144 fps. Movies will be more pleasant, though.

Overall, it depends on what you are looking for. I personally prefer the Acer model here because of the 3050 Ti for gaming.

The wildcard between the two is how each system managers thermals. Even the fastest system will slow to a crawl if throttled too much due to heat.

Quote from StartSelectAdam :
I'm in the same boat. The Asus looks really nice but the sale will be over before Prime invites go out.
A couple of things I'm keeping in mind:
1. That version of the G14 seems to go on sale pretty regularly (as recently as 3 weeks ago for the same price), so I would bet it would come around again. Plus,
2. I also think it's very likely Best Buy (among others) will run deals of its own during the Prime Day sale, and we might see more laptops to consider then.

I'm in a similar boat, I want to keep the cost down, and the g14 is tempting, but I'm going to (likely) hold for one more week.

Just curious, did anyone receive the invitation email? I'm still waiting for the link.
There are many other buying options from BB, but I'm not sure it's worth to wait for the invitation email.

Edit: Received the invite around 9:15EST.

Got the invite for it. Have till the 12th to buy. May wait and see if other retailers will have a sale on a better laptop with same price point before I decide.

Happy for those who got an invite. I didn't, so looks like they actually did have a set amount. Very glad I jumped on the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 open box last week. But I still think this is a great jack-of-all-trades laptop, especially for the cost.

Didn't get my invite just yet. Need a laptop asap for PowerBI and Tableau projects. Any other options for about $500-700 for 16gb RAM, 512gb SSD, i7/Ryzen 7m and a reliable model?

I thought about going for a Lenovo ThinkPad P14 or T14 refurb off eBay or something.

Still no link and probably won't get one. The laptop has gone from #3000+ bestseller to #38. I really wanted this 😭

I didn't get an invite, but congrats to those who did.

For those of you that did get an invite, I saw this forum post for pushing the video card performance of the Acer Swift X: https://www.reddit.com/r/Acer_Swi...ios_flash/

It's definitely try at your own risk, but I would have definitely loved to have played around with it.
