   4050 graphics.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acre just unveiled a new laptop for creators and designers this week. The Acer
Swift X 16 runs on up to an AMD Ryzen 9 7940H processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX
4050 graphics. The Acer Swift X 16 launches in North America in July 2023 with a
starting price of $1,250. The laptop will make its way to China and Europe in
May and June, respectively.



While the Swift X16 has solid internals for a laptop, its flagship feature is
its screen. The 3.2 OLED display has a refresh rate of 120Hz. The 16:10 screen
covers 100% DCI-P3 and reaches 500 nits of brightness as well. It has a 0.2 ms
response time and is VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 500 and TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe
certified.



To help keep the internals cool, the Swift X 16 has a TwinAir cooling system
which Acer says increases air intake by up to 36%. A new turbo mode can also
kick in when needed.




The laptop also features a 76Wh battery, which should help creators on the go.

Several video conferencing features are built in to the Swift X 16 as well. It
has a 1080p camera that uses Acer PurifiedView's AI features, including
background blur, auto framing, and eye contact technology. Acer's Temporal Noise
Reduction is supported as well, helping improve image quality in low-light
situations.



AI is also used to reduce background noise through Acer PurifiedVoice.

The Swift X 16 supports both Windows Hello through a fingerprint reader and Wake
on Voice for logging in.
