The Acer Swift Go 14 is a lesson in well-chosen solutions. The OLED display is excellent, there’s plenty of storage space and the processor is really fast. The fact that it doesn’t cost more is impressive. The graphics performance isn’t for serious gaming, but it’s still fast enough for any task you might encounter in the office. And also for editing those vacation videos after hours. A touchscreen would have been the icing on the cake. But at this price, there’s nothing to complain about. Absolutely nothing.

The 2024 Acer Swift Go 14 doesn’t aspire to beat premium productivity laptops with sleek designs and displays fit for fine art, but it doesn’t hold out on essential design choices, either. This $900 laptop has a thin metal chassis, a great keyboard and trackpad, a 2K webcam and a processor that easily beats others in its price range. The 1,920 x 1,200p IPS display is bright and color accurate, but it might not have enough pixels for anyone doing delicate visual work. An OLED display with full coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut and HDR certification would be a better pick, and several laptops like the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x, MacBook Air 13, and Asus Zenbook 14X OLED cram a display like it without costing a whole lot more than the Swift Go 14.

The Acer Swift Go 14 gets some minor demerits for its display's modest color-gamut coverage, the learning curve of its keyboard, and the general design blandness. But behind that lies a potent work machine that keeps up with the competition and delivers decent battery life. With speedy internals and plenty of ports, this machine is ready to help you get things done. And at $899, it’s a marked value that will be even more compelling during Prime Day and Black Friday sales. However, if you're after a more luxe experience, consider either the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9 or the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED Touch (UM3406) as alternatives.

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.
