The Acer Swift Go 14 would have been an excellent 14-inch laptop a couple of years ago. But times have changed, and there are better options for the same money.
Acer Swift Go 14 2024 MSRP $800.00 Score Details “The Acer Swift Go 14 is too vanilla to compete.” Pros Cons I’ve reviewed some impressive 14-inch laptops lately. Some have been expensive, while others have been reasonably affordable. So many have been awesome. But the latest Acer Swift Go 14 isn’t one of them.
That said, if you’re a Costco member, you can get the Swift Go 14 with Core Ultra 7, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $800. That’s a more attractive option, given the extra storage it come with. In terms of portability, the Swift Go 14 is decidedly middle of the pack. It’s reasonably thin at 0.74 inches and light at 3.05 pounds. But the Zenbook 14 is thinner at 0.59 inches and lighter at 2.82 pounds, and the XPS 14 is thinner at 0.71 inches but heavier at 3.7 pounds. And the MacBook Air is incredibly thin at 0.44 inches and light at 2.7 pounds, albeit with a slightly smaller display. Overall, the Swift Go 14 is reasonably easy to carry around.
Connectivity One positive old-school aspect of the Swift Go 14 is its more expansive connectivity. While laptops like the XPS 14 and MacBook Air have gone all-in on Thunderbolt 4, the Acer includes a good mix of modern and legacy connectivity. And the available Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 is about the most up-to-date wireless connectivity available.
Its Intel Arc graphics were in the upper range of what we’ve seen from the chipset, and that contributed to a higher score in the Creation portion of the PCMark 10 Complete benchmark and an overall higher score. Overall, the Swift Go 14 had good but not great battery life. It might make it through much of a day with a light workload, but there are no guarantees.
