Acer’s Swift Go 14 (starts at $849.99; $999.99 as tested) is one of the first ultraportable laptops with Intel’s new “Meteor Lake” Core Ultra processors to arrive in PC Labs. It delivers excellent performance, especially on the graphics front with its new Arc integrated GPU. We also give it high marks for its aluminum chassis, bright touch screen, and much-improved keyboard, but noticeable fan noise puts a damper on things, along with weak speakers and excessive bloatware. Our top ultraportable for most buyers remains the Asus ZenBook 14 OLED, but this Acer is still worth considering for the above-average processing power provided by its new Intel chip.
