Acer plans three new Swift laptops for CES 2024, aligned around Intel’s Core Ultra (Meteor Lake): two Swift Go laptops offering quality displays and improvements in memory and storage, plus a Swift X that pushes higher into Intel’s H-series Core Ultra processors alongside an Nvidia RTX 40-series GPU for content creation and light gaming.
Acer’s laptop lineup is well-defined: the Travelmate line of business laptops, the famously budget Aspire brand, and the premium Swift lineup of consumer laptops with a professional bent. Of those, Acer aims the Swift Edge at AMD’s Ryzen lineup, reserving the Swift Go and Swift X at Intel’s Core chips, with its Predator lineup focused on gamers. New for the Swift 2024 lineup are 14- and 16-inch Swift Go models (the SFG14-73 and SFG16-72), plus the 14-inch Swift X (SFX14-72G).
Both of the new Swift Gos are moderately priced, both shipping in March. The Swift Go 14 will start at $749.99, while the Swift Go 16 will be priced at a surprisingly low $799.99, given the added screen real estate. The Swift X 14 will ship in February for $1,399.99. They’re all Intel Evo Edition-class devices, indicating that they’ve received specific testing and co-engineering with Intel.
What’s new? Besides the component upgrades, the three new Swifts can now be opened to 180 degrees and feature webcam shutters. Both of Acer’s new Swift Go lines will boast the new Copilot key, Microsoft’s addition to induce users to use Microsoft’s cloud-based AI assistant. Intel’s Core Ultra / Meteor Lake chips feature an on-chip NPU, to which Acer is adopting a go-slow approach: It will be adding AI-specific apps throughout the year. However, the new Swift laptops are using Temporal Noise Reduction and what Acer calls PurifiedView and PurifiedVoice 2.0 for AI-filtered audio and video, with a three-mic array.

Otherwise, the improvements are functional: The Swift Go 16 includes a new OLED option, specifically a rather gorgeous 3200×2000 16-inch display that offers 120Hz refresh rates, too.
OLED displays are generally aimed at content consumption, with pure blacks. In this case, the display is DisplayHDR True Black 500 rated, with a DCI-P3 color gamut rating of 100 percent. Acer also provides 2560×1600 (60Hz) and 1920×1200 (60Hz) IPS panel options for those who don’t want to buy a premium display.

Acer is also offering 32GB of LPDDR5X memory alongside up to 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage, a welcome new tier in both memory and SSD storage. Inside is either a 65W or a 50W battery, depending on the configuration, alongside Intel’s Killer Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 options. (That will equate to 12.5 hours of battery life for the Swift Go 14, and 10.5 hours for the Swift Go 16.) Acer’s Swift Go 16 does offer a 1440p webcam, though if it’s like others in its class it will essentially be a 1080p webcam, … Read More.
