The Acer Swift Go 14 isn’t an extravagant laptop but, as the saying goes, it’s what inside that counts. This affordable midrange machine packs Intel’s new Core Ultra 7 155H processor (aka Meteor Lake), which pairs an impressive core count alongside improved Intel Arc integrated graphics. This new processor, which is made up of separate silicone tiles that have been adhered together, is designed to be more power efficient by offloading tasks to the GPU and NPU. It makes for a capable midrange laptop, though battery life still fails to impress. Let’s dive right in.
