The Acer Swift 5 just got a BIG Upgrade! [10th Gen + MX250 + 990g] | The Tech Chap

The new 14-inch Acer Swift 5 (2019) has received a BIG upgrade - with new Intel 10th Gen Ice Lake processors, MUCH faster Nvidia MX250 graphics, Thunderbolt 3 - and all while weighing just 990g! These are my first impressions of the Swift 5!

I just watched Austin's video before this, nice to see him make a cameo.

Wow this thing is an absolute BEAST of an ultrabook. Just wish the screen resolution was higher, at least 1440p. Any idea on price?

[JohSmith]

What's the point of the MX250 ? New Intel iris is pretty much the same performance

[zhengyang]

I really like the random humour you got there haha

[frezieduh]

Austin’s really short huh unless your just really tall

[isoloist]

Is RAM soldered or can be upgraded later? How is the thermal performance?

[devithuotkeo]

is it getting hot after a period of usage? 🤔 since it's thin...

[baldino]

Totally agree with the nitpick. The sticker is quite insulting.

[BuzzKora]

I guess what they made was pretty dumb like... Intel new g7 graphics are supposed to match the performance of a mx150 and the 250 is not much more powerful, so why do they put it in, increase price and thermals and probably reduce battery life, although it should have nvidia optimus, for something so nitchy?

[lunariz]

I thought Ice Lake iGPU was supposed to be on par with the MX150/250. So I don't really see what benefit can be gained from the MX250 aside from sucking more power thus less battery life.

yummy thunderbolt port for egpu I love it :D

[ShreetejParkar]

Is the MX250 really necessary if you have the iris graphics and a thunderbolt 3?

[pablorodriguezacosta]

Why are laptops leaving behind the sd card readers. I think a lot of people still use it right?

[theWolfyugo]

I CANT WAIT FOR THE FULL REVIEW OF THIS SWIFT 5 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[NimaV-il]

Just when i thought its been a while since ive seen a tech chap video-BOOM

[MallocFree]

Hi, does it have 16gb of RAM?
How is it the upgradability?

I'm a developer, do you think it's a good laptop to use on heavy Visual Studio projects?

Hey, Guys this the Tech Chap... oh wait

[Tigerex]

Dedicated charger charge faster than usbc and leave your usbc and thunderbolt ports opem, you can still charge with usbc though, just not as fast.
So please companies keep dedicated charging on your laptops, plus usb charging.
Some youtubers are mistakenly asking you to take away the faster dedicated charging and only use slower usbc, which also forces you to use up one of those precious ports, when machines are including less and less ports as they get thinner.

It's a nice laptop.And at 4:08 that made me happy.

How's the hardware quality of screen?
