Acer Swift Go 14 (SFG14-71) review – OLED is becoming mainstream

Verdict

Acer is getting in hot with its Swift Go series. Both the 16-inch version and this 14-inch model are incredibly good offers. In particular, the Swift Go 14 (SFG14-71) is a heck of a device with a ton of power. Even its integrated GPU will let you play games like CS:GO competitively.

Not to mention features like the QHD Web camera, fingerprint reader, and the rather wide port selection. With two Thunderbolt 4 connectors, you should be able to easily attach an external GPU.

Acer Swift Go 14 (SFG14-71)’s OLED panel has a 2.8K resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a fantastic contrast ratio. Thanks to the OLED technology you get true blacks, which help the image pop really well. This is further enhanced by the high maximum brightness and the support of HDR.

We should also mention the fact that this display comes with full DCI-P3 coverage. As a result, its image is really attractive to look at. In addition, this display option features a 90Hz refresh rate. Thanks to the OLED nature of the screen, you get super-fast pixel response times, increasing the responsiveness of the entire device.

In terms of battery, we got about 11 hours and 30 minutes of Web browsing, or 10 hours of video playback. This is very good for a device fit with a 45W CPU.

Now, you have to keep in mind that excessive loads will make the entire chassis heat up. Also, the memory is soldered to the motherboard, which is not great, especially considering the fact that the maximum available configuration has 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM.

At the end of the day, at 1.25 kg, this is one of the best ultrabooks you can buy right now. Its portability may be fantastic, but be sure to get the device with its OLED display – it is simply outstanding.

Does the 16″ OLED panel have the same performance characteristics and image quality? Is it comparable to the 14″?
