Expert reviews and ratings

Even if you’re concerned about those negatives, the price may well entice you to overlook them. Acer has a $1,000 list price on the Swift Go 14, but it’s already dipped as low as $800 (and it will sit at this price at Costco around May 5). That puts it in rarified air when it comes to price versus performance, especially considering the Swift is no slacker when it comes to getting real work done. Maybe use the money you save to invest in some nice headphones.

Though it might not be the prettiest laptop on the block, the Acer Swift Go 14 is a capable mid-range machine, perfect for no-nonsense users who want to get right down to business. It’ll see you through an entire work day without slowing down, heating up, or needing a charge, for that matter. I only wish it was a lot cheaper.

The success of the Swift Go 14 is in using a high-performance processor ready for demanding jobs, and yet not making a laptop that weighs a lot or has short battery life. However, a few parts stick out as mid-tier at best, especially when shopping for the higher-spec models.

Acer has broken the mould by combining a powerful processor with an ultra-thin design with the Swift Go 14. The OLED display is also impressive, but the colour control on it could be improved.
