The first video I saw of yours was two days ago. I am a new viewer, and I watched many of them. I appreciate your honest review. You forgot to say "See you in the next one".
I’m happy to hear you like the content! Thanks for your viewership. You’re right I forgot to mention that part 😅
Good review, will you test amd 8000series acer swift?
Super informative!
Glad you think so!
It has 2 ssd slots, the second one is under the blue ribbon cable near fans 🙀
Would you recommend the OLED? Do I have to be concerned with screen burn or lower battery 🪫 performance?
I prefer IPS for serious office work.
What is the ARC GPU in this laptop? Because I saw a lot of variant such as 7 series, 5 series and 3 series
In short about the new Intel Core Ultra laptop chips: There are Core Ultra 9,7 and 5, corresponding to i-9, i-7, i-5 (no 3 models). Within them there are faster chips ending in H, like this one Core Ultra 155H, and ending in U. The upgraded GPU comes with all H chips in 9,7 and 5. The U models don't have it, and they are a little weaker overall.
I love IPS screens !!!
New year new opportunities ❤hope to see you grow more 😍
Thank you!
Dont use Davinchi free version. I dont support hardware media engines. All encoding and decoding will happen on cpu cores in free version. Try studio version.
i did consider this laptop but i been trying to lead away from oled since of the potential burn in. bu other then that it looks loke descent laptop.
I have the version with 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and OLED screen and I love it, it performs very nicely, I think you can install another M.2 NVMe SSD( just below the fans and beneath the daughter cable), I don't mind the old looks of it but very excited with the new CPU i7-155H, anyway, very nice detailed review, thanks 👍👍
hello 👋, can please what is battery life and if its getting hot during daily work (no gaming.).thank you
But design around keyboard is visibly different here!!!
Hi, I just purchased this laptop with touch display. I have observed that the lower part of display near the Acer logo has a flex that is visible clearly. Do I have to worry about this? Please reply
I guess you should worry a little. Flex cables should be inside the laptop chassis, so if it is visible but outside the chassis, you should return it
Hi Whats an alternative to this with better speakers? They don't have to be great speakers but not bad either. Please no 2 in 1 devices and something around the same price or cheaper.
Samsung GalaxyBook 4 Pro would be a decent option.
Is it worth it if I can buy it for €659 ~$700 ?
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Your videos are awesome@@SoulOfTech
what is ultra 7 new name for i7 ?
It's the new generation of laptop class chips intel introduced. You will see it a lot in upcoming 2024 laptops.
The real problem with this Acer Swift Go 14 is the price - I just checked my country’s local Acer store and Amazon (where the only model available on both seems to be the OLED one)….and the price ranges between 1200 and 1500 Euros (in usd that’s between $1300 and 1630). Not convenient when you can get similarly-specced “premium” laptops from other brands for less than 1000-1100 Euros.
Yeah the pricing inconsistency is not a great thing, hopefully Acer will re-analyze their pricing. I suspect this machine will go on sale by BTS season if demand does not keep up. Thanks for watching as always!
The non- oled version here in India after all card discounts here in India is nearly $1075-$1080 Also I exchanged my old laptop for 70$ So this laptop costed me $1006
Hmm exactly the other way around for me... the Acer with OLED goes for 999€ with 16GB and 1100€ on sale with 32GB. In my area it’s kinda the cheapest ''premium'' laptop
@@PlatinAviation Have you checked if that’s the actual price or a promotional one? If it’s the second, I’d run to get the laptop before the promo ends.
@@PlatinAviation must be the promotiotional price 😭
At 700-800 dollars it would actually compete with zenbook 14x
Sus on the thermals, my 13th gen intel swift go 14 gets unbearably hot when charging
The 14th gen uses a whole new SOC and runs cooler than the 13th gen
First comment fromBangladesh
Thanks for commenting!
Great review And very good information
good laptop but definitely over priced.
Yeah I can agree with that.
THIS IS A CRAP LAPTOP, BUILD QUALITY, BATTERY LIFE AND KEYBOARD ARE ALL RUBBISH - AND AT LEAST IN AUSTRALIA THEY ARE CHARGING $1000.00 FOR THE LAPTOP AND HAVE DELETED THE OLED SCREEN FROM LAST YEARS MODEL.
