The Acer Swift Go 14 is getting a Meteor Lake refresh. The latest version of this thin and light laptop is available with a choice of Intel Core Ultra 5 125H or Core Ultra 7 155H processor options, with prices starting at $800 and $1000, respectively.
According to Intel, its new 14th-gen processors should bring modest gains in CPU performance compared with their 13th-gen counterparts, but users can expect up to a 25% improvement in power consumption, up to twice the graphics performance, and a new NPU for hardware-accelerated AI features.
The Core 5 Ultra 125H processor is a 14-core, 18-thread chip with 4 Performance cores, 8 Efficiency cores, and 2 Low-Power Efficiency cores, and an integrated GPU with seven Intel Xe cores and support for speeds up to 2.32 GHz.
But the Core 7 Ultra 155H should deliver significantly more performance for not much more money. It’s a 16-core, 22-thread chip with 6 Performance cores. And it has a 2.25 GHz Intel Arc integrated GPU with 8 Xe GPU cores.
Acer says the new Swift Go laptop, which has the model number SFG14-72/T, supports up to 32GB of LPDDR5x memory, up to 1TB of PCIe Gen 4 NVMe storage, and up to a 2880 x 1800 pixel, 90 Hz OLED non-touch display or a 1920 x 1200 pixel 60 Hz touchscreen display.
Other features include a 1440p webcam, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, a 3.5mm headset jack, a microSD card reader, and support for WiFi 6e and Bluetooth 5.3.
The laptop measures 14.9mm (0.59″) thick and weighs 1.32 kg (2.91 pounds). At last five configurations are available at launch:
- Core Ultra 5 125H/8GB/512GB/1200P touchscreen display for $800
