Acer Swift Go 16 review: Multimedia laptop with dazzling OLED display

Slim, light and twice as cool is how Acer advertises the Swift Go 16. As evident in the name, this laptop comes with a 16-inch screen. The Taiwanese manufacturer has created a premium laptop suitable for home offices with a large OLED display, good connectivity and aluminum casing. So far, the laptop has been available with either an Intel Core i7-13700H or an Intel Core i5-1335U and 16 GB of RAM. Customers can also choose between silver or steel gray and 512 GB or 1 TB terabyte in terms of color and hard drive size, respectively.
Our test device comes in a stylish steel gray with the larger storage configuration and the Core i7. In our tests, the laptop proves mostly powerful, but it has strong competitors, particularly the Huawei MateBook 16s with its extremely powerful Intel Core i9-13900H. Both laptops are very similar in size and weight, but have different focal points. Other interesting laptops are the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 or the slightly larger LG Gram 17. Each device has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Case - Lightweight thanks to aluminum
Acer uses a lot of aluminum in the Swift Go 16, which makes it robust and gives it a high-quality appearance. The darker steel gray really accentuates the angular design of the laptop. The build quality of the individual components is impeccable, so we found no large or uneven gaps, and no creaking sounds were emitted when subjected both the screen and base to torsional stress.
The notebook's 16-inch screen can be opened up to 165° with one hand. In doing so, the base at the rear end lifts slightly, which is intended to allow for better airflow. Only the display lid turns out to be a bit weak here, yielding noticeably under slight pressure.
In terms of size, the Acer laptop is almost identical to the Huawei MateBook 16s, but the former weighs almost 400 grams less for a total of around 1.6 kilograms. The LG Gram is even lighter, while the Galaxy Book3 is considerably slimmer.
Hardware - Acer laptop with strong 1440p webcam
Acer distributes the few ports of the notebook a little more skillfully than many of its competitors. The Swift Go has 16 USB Type-A ports on both sides, but also scores with a microSD card reader and a Kensington lock slot. Two fully-fledged USB Type-C ports with DisplayPort, PowerDelivery and Thunderbolt 4 ensure a wide range of expansion possibilities.
SD Card Reader
Under testing with our fast AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60 reference card, the transfer speeds of the laptop are well behind those of the comparison devices that still have a memory card reader, for the Acer's card reader is only connected via USB 2.0. HP's EliteBook and Huawei's MateBook 16s do not have one at all.

Communication - Fast WiFi 6
Webcam - Sharp image quality on the Acer Swift Go
At a resolution of 1440p, the webcam in the Swift Go 16 provides strong image quality. The good color reproduction of the camera also stands out positively. Even in the absence of strong ambient light, the webcam image is still reasonably convincing.

Security - Fingerprint scanner on board
A fingerprint scanner and a Kensington lock slot are available to protect our test device from unauthorized access. In addition, there are the security features of Intel's Core i7.
Accessories
Apart from an extensive collection of information leaflets and a matching USB Type-C power supply, no other accessories are found in the box of the Acer Swift Go 16.
Maintenance - No expansion options for RAM and SSD
To get inside the 16-inch laptop, you first have to remove ten TX6 screws. Afterwards, the base cover can be prised open quite easily with a plastic tool. A good starting point for this are the two short edges on the left and right of the hinges. Only the WLAN module and NVMe SSD are replaceable, so there are no free slots for expansion here. Aside from several screws, adhesive strips also hold the laptop's battery in place.
Warranty - Two years warranty
In Europe, the Acer Swift Go 16 comes with a two-year warranty. This may differ in other regions, so interested buyers should double check before purchasing.
Input Devices - Keyboard with numpad
Keyboard
With a key travel of only 0.9 mm and minor haptic feedback, the typing feel on the Acer Swift Go is rather spongy. At least we find a NumPad here. The number keys are a little smaller than the rest of the backlit keyboard.
Touchpad - Made of environmentally friendly OceanGlass
Display - Colorful OLED
The OLED display of the Acer Swift Go 16 has a resolution of 3200 × 2000 in 16:10 format, which means that individual pixels can hardly be seen. Thanks to the true black of OLED displays, there are no illumination errors and the 371 cd/m² bright screen boasts an infinitely high contrast ratio. Moreover, the screen is Vesa DisplayHDR 500 certified. However, this advantage is clearly weighed down by the OLED panel's highly reflective surface. On the other hand, the smooth surface also makes the picture look much sharper than that of some matte screens.

* ... smaller is better
We measured quite moderate color deviations on the display of the Acer Swift Go, which falls rather short of the target value of ΔΕ 3. The laptop overshoots in the green and blue tones, which may be improved via further calibration. Meanwhile, the ICC profile we created (available for download in the info box) provides for improved grayscale reproduction.

The display backlight flickers at 227 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 50 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 227 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18694 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
Performance - Acer deploys the Intel Core i7-13700H
Our test device is equipped with the Intel Core i7-13700H and 16 GB of RAM. The notebook does not have a dGPU. Thus, the Intel Iris Xe mit 96 EUs of the i7 handles all graphics tasks. Hence, for a multimedia laptop, the Acer Swift Go is suitably equipped.
Performance control and testing conditions
The Acer Swift Go 16 has three performance plans. As with most Acer laptops, these are accessed via the FN+F key combination. Here you will find a Quiet, a Balanced and a Performance mode, which all affect the cooling and performance of the processor in their respective ways. In Performance mode, the boost power (PL2) of the i7 is around 80 watts. Even though 82 watts is specified here, we could not prove this value in the generated logs for any of the tests. In the other two operating modes, PL2 is around 64 watts and is regularly slightly exceeded. The Balanced and Performance modes begin with a continuous power supply (PL1) of 45 watts. In Balanced mode, however, this is readjusted to 35 watts after around six minutes under full load. The processor subsequently maintains this value. In Quiet mode, the continuous supply falls from the initial 35 watts to 20 watts.
We decided to carry out all benchmarks in Balanced mode, although the significantly higher boost performance of Performance mode would probably lead to around 10% better results in many benchmarks.
Processor - Strong CPU from Intel's H-series
The Intel Core i7-13700H is at work in the Acer Swift Go 16. The high-end CPU from the Raptor-Lake-H series outperforms many other processors. Especially the i7 processors from the P and U series have a hard time keeping up. The boost power of the Acer Swift Go is comparatively high at around 66 watts in Balanced mode. Consequently, the laptop often surpasses the average of all tested devices with the Intel Core i7-13700H. The Huawei MateBook 16s with its even stronger Intel Core i9-13900H is even more powerful, although both processors have six performance cores and eight efficiency cores.

System Performance - High performance in the premium laptop
Acer's notebook also performs well in the system performance benchmarks with PCMark 10 and CrossMark. Although laptops with a dGPU should have a clear advantage here, the LG Gram 17, for example, doesn't really make full use of it. So, the first four laptops in our comparison are in a very narrow range. But Acer's Swift Go 16 and Huawei's MateBook 16s have a somewhat clearer advantage in the CrossMark benchmark, where the Intel Raptor Lake H-series processors are able to display their strengths. The Acer laptop is a strong all-rounder that can serve most requirements apart from demanding 3D graphics. With 16 GB of RAM, the most that could become a problem is the processing of very extensive databases, as can occur in the image processing of Adobe Lightroom.
