Why  Blender - v3.3 Classroom CPU    is in GPU part of the text? It would have been helpful to have a Blender - v3.3 Classroom GPU test too to see where the ARC card stays.

The model with the 3050 ti is definitely the better buy.

As in this model from the German review: notebookcheck.com/Acer-Swift-X-16-2022-Laptop-im-Test-16-Zoeller-mit-starken-Updates.645307.0.html The problems are the same: 1. Absolutely inconvenient keyboard for blind typing with a completely damaged numeric keypad. What "genius" came up with this in Acer, if there is place for a full-fledged one? 2. The memory is not expandable, as the author says at the end, but soldered. And he himself wrote about this earlier in review. So the erroneous "plus" must be removed from the review results. 3. Again, there is no rj45 with 2.5-5Gbps and one more 1-2 usb-a, although there is plenty of space on the left and right side. Intel, by the way, specifically designed the hub for TB4.0 in the SoC of processors so that it would be CONVENIENT for laptop manufacturers to output it TB4.0 pirts on the left and on the right (2x2 scheme). But for some reason, everyone continues to stupidly display only 2 ports on one side. What for? And then, that they have power connector through the same stupid usb-c plug sticking out perpendicular to the body of laptop and easily broken out by right-handed people reclining on the couch (legs on the left!). These laptops are only suitable for lefties! This laptop was made by left-handers, for left-handers? It's definitely not for right-handed. Once again I emphasize and insist that modern laptops should have at least 2 usb-c ports for usb-c power, but one should be either on the other side or back plate, so that it is convenient for right-handed people (of which ~90% on the planet, in are Acer marketers aware of this?) and a few left-handed people. Well, in general, who today needs a laptop with ridiculous 16GB of soldered memory, when normal work needs 32Gb for a long time? And at a price of 32GB of $100-120? Especially when the laptop has been used for 3-4 years (and who uses such laptops for a shorter period?). Well, there are 4 channels there purely virtual (each 32 bits), as a result, the same 2 channels as the memory in slots with a total width of 128 bits in 2 channels. By the way, the wildest leapfrog with memory in laptops surprises. Some supposedly have lpddr5 6400, others have 4800, others have 5200, but none of them can surpass 70Gb / s in linear writing / reading / copying. Although the bandwidth of the 6400 = 128Gb / s, the 5200 = 83Gb / s, and the 4800 = 76Gb / s. Thus, we can congratulate Acer on only one thing - their version with 4800, although disgustingly configured in the BIOS, is at least not so far from the theoretical bandwidth for 5200 and even more so 6400, where other laptops are a total shame for manufacturers (especially AMD controllers memory, which in practice is 30% slower than Intel) Well, the fact that the ram is poorly optimized in bios is affects the operation of the built-in igpu and the discrete gpu, because there is no mux switch here a priori, and all output to the screen and apparently external monitors obviously goes through lpddr5 memory, which is several times slower than gddr6. Well, it is clearly seen that a discrete video card here makes sense only for video encoding and photoshop. In other cases, it is meaningless, because. doesn't even deliver the minimum 60fps in moss-covered 2014 GTA V... Happy shopping!
