Acer updated the Swift Go 14 in December 2023 with Intel’s then-latest Core Ultra Meteor Lake processors. The laptop officially went on sale in February at a starting price of $999. A mid-priced configuration of the machine with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU, 16 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and a 14-inch IPS display is now on sale at a substantially reduced price.
You can now buy the certified-refurbished Acer Swift Go 14 notebook for only $545.99 on eBay with a two-year warranty.
The discounted price should make the Acer Swift Go 14 a super enticing option for folks that are in need of a portable productivity laptop. Our review device which was equipped with the same processor showed very little in the way of compromises. For instance, we were impressed with the notebook’s port selection, webcam quality, and storage upgradability (Get a 1 TB Samsung 980 Pro on Amazon).
Additionally, as we duly noted in our review, the Core Ultra 7 155H elevates the notebook above the class average with a performance rating of 78.6 pts. Moreover, due to the presence of the 8-core Arc iGPU, the Acer Swift Go 14 can also be used for some light gaming with titles like GTA V and F1 23 able to run smoothly at FHD resolution with medium settings.
The display on the Acer Swift Go 14 is also perfectly fine for multimedia and gaming use. The FHD+ panel supports touch input, covers 100% of the sRGB gamut, and gets up to 400 nits.
Finally, the Acer Swift Go 14 lasted roughly 8 hours in our Wi-Fi websurfing test. Since the unit on sale has a lower resolution IPS panel instead of the OLED one found on our review unit, the battery life should see a noticeable bump.
Long story short, there is very little that Acer gets wrong with the Swift Go 14. We called the laptop “lightweight powerhouse that packs a considerable punch inside its elegant case” and the notebook justifies every word of these remarks.
