Reviews for the Acer Aspire 14 AI N24Q14
This inexpensive laptop can do it all for students or basic office needs with its efficient processor and long battery life. If you do even a bit of graphics editing, however, then the IPS display might disappoint.

The Acer Aspire 14 AI laptop is ideal for those seeking flagship-grade laptop performance at a modest price for productivity related tasks and general computing. It also offers good battery life and a decent array of ports to cover most use case scenarios. While it has excellent specifications for what you pay for, especially its Intel Core Ultra 7 258V series 2 equipped configuration, the plasticky chassis and middling display further pigeonhole it as a productivity oriented laptop rather than one intended for gaming or content creation.

Acer's Aspire 14 AI is one of the better bang-for-your-buck options available right now. Starting at $699, it offers some of the latest high-performing hardware and a battery that will last multiple days in a very competitive package. If you're looking for a "budget plus" laptop with respectable hardware that opts for a more utilitarian form factor (and approachable price), the Aspire 14 AI is a solid choice. I would suggest opting for the OLED configuration if you're willing to pay for the upgrade, especially if you'll be using it for visually creative work or gaming.

The Acer Aspire 14 AI banks a lot on a compelling price tag. Thankfully, at $699, it has one. It may not be setting any records, but this is clearly a machine that understands utility. The display may not be pretty, but it’s easy to use. The keyboard could use some improvements, but all of Acer’s could and there’s still worse out there. The speakers may not pump up the jams, but they present clear speech. And, even if performance isn’t top notch, the Acer Aspire 14 AI easily plugs along in day-to-day office tasks while slowly draining its battery. There may not be a lot to really love about the Acer Aspire 14 AI, but there’s also very little to get truly frustrated about. Nothing about it is outright terrible. Even the practically colorless display retakes some lost ground by offering a strong anti-glare finish and touchscreen capabilities.

The Acer Aspire 14 AI shines as a budget laptop, hitting an affordable price point for solid Lunar Lake processing speeds, excellent battery life, a satisfying keyboard, and a sturdy chassis. Unfortunately, its display is miserable, and we wouldn't recommend it to anyone who remotely cares about color and brightness. If you want a decent display, the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 7441 is a tad more expensive at $899 but features a far brighter and more colorful panel. Otherwise, anyone who doesn't particularly mind a poor panel will love the Aspire 14 AI as a budget laptop.

Intel Arc 130V: An integrated graphics adapter that lower-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 7 iGPU; DirectX 12 Ultimate is fully supported here and the iGPU also supports hardware-decoding a long list of popular video codecs such as h.266 VVC, h.265 HEVC, h.264 AVC, AV1 and VP9. It is clear the 130V isn't fast enough to run most triple-A 2024 games at 1080p. However, it's still more than good enough for an occasional gaming session Helldivers 2 and Ready or Not run perfectly well at 1080p / Low.
With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

Core Ultra 5 226V: One of the 2 slowest Lunar Lake processors as of Nov 2024. It features 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.5 GHz and 4.5 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 130V iGPU and 16 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. The 226V's level 3 cache is pretty small as compared to more expensive Ultra 7 2xxV and Ultra 9 2xxV chips at 8 MB vs 12 MB. Its multi-thread performance is very close to the R7 7730U and the R7 7735U, and it eats up to 37 W in short-term loads.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
