14-inch Acer Go Air launches as new MacBook Air alternative with Intel Core CPUs ^↺

Acer has launched the Go Air, which is a new laptop aimed at users who are looking for a very portable system that is based on Microsoft’s Windows operating system. The device is only available in China thus far, where it retails for prices ranging from $730 to $785, depending on the processor configuration. Acer has not provided any details on a potential global launch yet.

According to the manufacturer, the laptop weighs just 2.2 lbs and sports a magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis and a 60Wh battery. The 14-inch screen is an IPS panel with a resolution of 2240 x 1400 pixels, while the hinge can be opened up to 180 degrees, which allows the display to be laid flat on a table. Furthermore, the screen supposedly covers the entire sRGB color space, but the new Acer laptop is obviously not designed for gaming.

Moreover, the Acer Go Air is powered by the Intel Core 5 210H or Intel Core 7 240H processors, which are paired with 32GB of LPDDR5 memory and a 1TB SSD. In addition to three USB Type-C ports, the MacBook Air alternative further features a single HDMI 2.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 port. An Ethernet port is not available, and wireless network connections will have to rely on WiFi 6, since the latest WiFi 7 standard is not supported.
