Acer Swift Go (14-Inch, 2023)

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

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

Stunning graphics performance for an iGPU ; Bright 90Hz 2.8K OLED display ; Excellent 1440p webcam
