Acer Swift Go notebooks bring OLED displays in light-and-thin chassis

At CES 2023 Acer had plenty of new PC products to show off, including several new laptops under its Aspire, Swift, and Predator product lines. While most of the reveals today were basically refreshes of existing notebooks, the company did reveal an all-new laptop line: Acer Swift Go.

Available in 14-inch and 16-inch models, the Acer Swift Go’s big feature is their support for OLED screens. They will have 500-nit peak brightness, high amounts of contrast, and deep black levels, including 100% DCI-P3 color range and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification. The 16-inch Acer Swift Go will have a resolution of 3,200 x 2,000 pixels, while the 14-inch version will have 2,880 x 1,800 resolution support. The Acer Swift Go notebooks will also be sold with regular IPS screens.

Inside, both thin-and-light notebooks will have Intel’s 13th Gen Core H-Series processors, along with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 2TB of onboard storage, with a microSD card port for adding more storage. The 14-inch model will weigh just 2.76 pounds, while the 16-inch version will weigh 3.52 pounds, and both will have a battery that will last up to 9.5 hours on a single charge.

The Acer Swift Go 16 will launch in Europe in March, starting at €1,099, and in the US in June, starting at $799.99. The Switch Go 14 will launch in February in Europe, starting at €999, and in the US in May, starting at $849.99.
