Acer Swift Go (14-Inch, 2023)

Fast productivity performance Very good keyboard Good IPS display Reasonably thin and light

Chassis is wobbly Touchpad is subpar

“The Acer Swift Go 14 is too vanilla to compete.”

Great creative and productivity performance ; Bright and vibrant OLED screen ; Respectable gaming performance at low settings ; Good wired and wireless connectivity

Average battery life ; Mediocre keyboard ; Tinny audio

The Acer Swift Go 14 (2024) offers cutting-edge performance in a portable package, with an excellent OLED screen. If you can compromise on the chunky styling, it’s a brilliant lightweight laptop.

Powerful processors ; Solid battery life considering performance ; Super-saturated OLED screen option

Basic keyboard and trackpad ; Unimpressive design

The Acer Swift Go 14 combines power and portability, without sacrificing all-day battery life. However, the design and feel of the keyboard and trackpad are firmly rooted in the series’s mid-range beginnings.

Bright, easily legible matte display ; Potent performance for the price ; Ample ports, including USB4 ; Sturdy, lightweight design

A bit of bloatware ; Keyboard takes some familiarization ; Unsatisfying speakers

Acer's latest Swift Go 14 isn't sleek, but it's well-built and well-connected. With fast AMD Ryzen 8000-series performance for the price and an eye-pleasing matte display, this laptop gets work done.

More than enough power for the average user ; Webcam, mic, and touchpad are very good ; Copilot AI is just a button press away

Not the most premium feeling laptop ; Review model only available through Costco ; Battery life is just okay

The Acer Swift Go 14 is the kind of mid-tier laptop that can keep up with most people’s needs for at least the next few years. It also comes with some great conferencing tools by way of a quality webcam and mic. Of course, the battery life is just okay...

Outstanding performance, especially considering the price. Excellent collection of ports.

Chintzy build quality. Touchpad is a bit stiff and cranky. Keyboard backlighting isn’t the best. Terrible audio quality.

Beautiful WQXGA+ OLED display ; Great specs for the price ; Excellent price point ; Incredibly thin and light ; Great webcam

The first model launched is clearly a downgrade ; No ethernet port

The Acer Swift Go 14 is a marvel of great design choices, a beautiful OLED display, a great webcam, excellent specs, and a solid port selection. And this isn't even counting the price point, which is stunning in its own right. But when you factor in...

Vivid colour from 2.8K display ; First-class webcam ; Light and portable ; Speedy processor

No biometric login ; Not a touchscreen ; Limited keyboard ; Basic speakers

The Acer Swift Go 14 is a tale of two halves: while I'm not sold on the aesthetic, the keyboard, lack of biometric login, or the day-and-a-half-long battery life, that's just one side of the story. On the flip side: if you're looking for a fast working...

Exceptional price-to-performance ; Brilliant display ; Decent I/O for a thin-and-light

Unlovable keyboard ; A little thick

With the Swift Go 14 laptop, Acer crammed impressive performance into an affordable thin-and-light with a gorgeous OLED display. You'll just have to learn to live with the keyboard.

Ample connectivity ; Fantastic battery life ; Wonderful typing experience ; Strong performance ; Reasonably priced

Uninspiring design ; No OLED display

The Acer Swift Go 14 is a reliable travel workhorse through and through.
