Acer Swift Go 14 review

Bringing home a laptop requires a fair deal of research alongside a sizeable budget. In fact, there’s so much more to the investment than its long list of specs. From their portability to their design and resolution, purchasing a laptop that offers a package deal is a rare find. Acer’s newest entry-level addition — Acer Swift Go 14 — comes remarkably close to it. We had a chance to test it with hands-on experience, and we’re here to tell you all about it. Read on to find out more.

Design 

The Acer Swift Go 14 comes from its thin-and-light line of laptops with a premium finish and two eye-catching shades. We got our hands on the prodigy pink variant, which comes with a dramatic, dark backlit keyboard. Acer has also subtly embellished its series name ‘Swift’ into its somewhat-matte metal body. With its trackpad almost blending in with the colour, Acer Swift Go 14 is undoubtedly enjoyable to look at and amusingly lightweight to carry.  

Display 

The laptop offers a stunning 14-inch Full HD IPS LCD display on an 86% screen-to-body ratio. This means no matter what you watch on your Acer Swift Go 14, you will experience the most mundane videos with a splash of vibrancy owing to Acer ExaColor. We tuned into a 1080p video at 60fps and were impressed with its sharp output.
