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

Ready, Set, Swift, Go! Clear the stage for the slick speedster in an aluminum case. The Acer Swift Go 16 comes with a powerful Intel Core i7-13700H, a high-contrast OLED display and a stylish aluminum case. Not to mention that it's also quite light for a 16-inch laptop.

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.

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

At 12.6 × 8.5 cm, the built-in ClickPad is pleasantly large and responds to up to five touch points. Its surface is made of environmentally friendly OceanGlass. Plastic waste from the ocean is collected and recycled to make this.

Display - Colorful OLED

Subpixel matrix
Subpixel matrix

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

The Acer Swift Go 16 almost completely reproduces all three essential color spaces. The AdobeRGB color space brings up the rear here at 98.87%.

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.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 1 ms rise
↘ 1 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 4 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.8 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 1 ms rise
↘ 1 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 4 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (34.3 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 227 Hz ≤ 50 % brightness setting

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.

The screen's brightness is sufficient for good legibility in outdoor use. However, depending on the angle to the sun or other bright light sources, reflections can strongly influence the readability of the screen.

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.
