At CES 2023, Acer announced its Swift Go line of laptops, which put OLED displays in thin and light chassis and use Intel's 13th Gen H-series processors.
The Swift Go will come in two sizes: the Swift Go 16 and Swift Go 14, each adopting both OLED and a 120 Hz refresh rate, and Acer is claiming a Display HDR True Black 500 certification. The 14-incher has a 2880 x 1800 display, while the 16-inch model gets 3200 x 2000 resolution. Both are using a 16:10 aspect ratio, which appears to be popular at this CES.
Both laptops include Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1 and a microSD card reader, as well as a 1440p webcam, and support up to 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage and up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM. The laptops also support Intel's new Unison feature to connect your Android or iOS phone.
Acer claims to have a 14.9-mm thin chassis, with the Swift Go 14 weighing less than 1.3 kg and the 15-inch version tipping the scales at just under 1.4 kg. The keyboards serve as air inlets, and each has a dual fan system with dual copper heat pipes.
The Swift Go 14 will launch in May starting at $899.99, while the Swift Go 16 will ship in June with the same base price.
After AMD's press conference, Acer announced a version of the Swift Go 14 using the company's processors ranging from the Ryzen 3 7335U to the Ryzen 7 7735U, as well as up to 1TB of SSD storage and 16GB of RAM. IT will start at $849.99 in June.
For those who want a discrete GPU on the go, the Acer Swift X 14 will combine Intel 13th Gen H series CPUs with Nvidia's latest laptop GPUs using Studio Drivers, cooled by a larger fan and powered by a battery that Acer claims can last up to 9.5 hours.
