Driven by the Snapdragon X Elite/Plus SoC, Copilot+ PCs are leading the AI PC revolution with many on-device AI experiences like Cocreator and Recall. During the Computex 2024 event, I had the opportunity to firsthand experience using one of these PCs, the Acer Swift 14 AI. Additionally, as of June 18, this is the first Copilot+ PC to ship.I'll admit that at first I was dubious, but after spending little time with the computer, I had a unique—and positive—impression of it. I discuss my opinions about the Acer Swift 14 AI, Copilot+ PCs, and how they vary from conventional x86-based Windows PCs.My ACER SWIFT X 14 (SFX14-71G-70K) was just acquired at the beginning of the year. It functioned okay for a time, however my laptop began to overheat after three months. It seems to get as high as 60 °C even when I just have Chrome open when my laptop boots up. The temperature rises as soon as I plug in the charger, making my body extremely heated. I'm trying to find ways to cool off. Does anyone have any assistance?I reside in the tropics and use my Swift X SFX14-51G-7003 model with a Gen3 1TB NVMe SSD. I've never experienced any overheating problems or shutdowns, but I did remove any bloatware and third-party apps.

The power plan is balanced, and only Windows defaults and programs, such as Defender and Edge, are used. All security is turned on (green checkmarks). Verify that the build number for Windows 11 23H2 is 22631.35127. When using the Acer Quick Access-System Usage Mode, you can speed up the fan. The laptop will cool down better in performance mode. Ensure that the laptop is turned off and not suspended, and turn off hibernation.Hello, I tried the Performance Mode and it seems to have helped. My Windows build is 22631.3447. However, when it comes to the Power Plan, I tried changing it to balanced but it would not get past active. Additionally, occasionally my screen just freezes while the cursor continues to travel, and since I'm relatively new, I honestly have no idea how to remedy it.
