The most advanced Intel Arc Graphics (Xe-LPG) in Intel Meteor Lake allows you to connect 8K TV to the HDMI 2.1 port of this laptop. However, Acer has only confirmed DP 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 for model SFG14-72-53BP.
Another honest review, thanks Matt. Acer has always put out budget friendly devices, I've had a few, and it's been apparent in the fit and finish. As you said, they need to lower the price on this laptop to be competitive.
Thanks Bryan!! Ya I think dropping it by $100 that would be great. Also, noticed they have an OLED Version of this for $999 so it is weird they are pricing the FHD model for the same price.
The good thing about these new Intel chips is it gives consumers more options come on sale days. We all know price drops happen on amd and Intel throughout the year so now we can at least consider intel again depending on the reduction
It's funny people comment on wanting AMD all the time but they never have stock or are able to produce as much as intel. So it's nice now that things are pretty even and you won't be making too many sacrifices choosing Intel or AMD or vice versa.
@@MatthewMonizimo Core Ultra 125U has the potential to fight both Ryzen 8440U and Ryzen 8540U in both availability and most likely pricing. AMD can price these aggressively like 5000U series using backordered 7640U (either as 7640U or 8540U) but availability will be a key factor for back to school season. I can speculate 125U laptop production being ramped up right now but 8440U/8540U? Hard to tell. Just like how Ryzen 2000U manage to shift mindset despite its obvious flaws, so is Core Ultra U series
I know I'm 9 months late to the video; surely I'm not the first to raise an eyebrow at 0:55 when he says Meteor Lake multithreaded performance is on par with Ryzen 7000/8000 while displaying a chart where the AMD chip is over 40% better? 😊
So Swift Go is basically a cheaper version of regular Swift with that flexing top lid and plastic material, though that webcam is nice along with decent cooling + tuning. Have to agree it's a tough swallow for $999 though, let alone bearing the Swift naming. Single core perf is unremarkable but I like its sustained performance. Battery life looks decent too, did you update it with latest BIOS and Arc drivers?
New ARC driver is coming January 2024 to fix low power gaming and will provide way better performance in low power(sub 28W) and their "1 Watt iGPU Endurance Gaming" will work at 30fps.
idk why but i feel like recently acer always seems strange with their pricing, they're constantly more expensive while having less feature and looks/feels cheap
This laptop now comes with an OLED screen, which was your biggest complaint - I rarely used y touchscreens. Also comes with 1 TB HD. Swift Go 14 SFG14-72-72YK. I also use a USB docking station to a real mouse, real webcam, real Jabra Speaker. You can swap out to WiFi 7 when available. This is one of the better laptops on the market in Q1 2024.
ITs only when you put it on performance mode. Acer likes to give you the option to crank the fans as loud as they can go if you want max performance. If you leave it on normal they stay in the mid 40's under load and you get similar performance.
As a long time both mac and pc user, and as a creative user (Adobe Suite), we are living in an Apple world. Macbooks were already a better choice in the intel era since they had better build quality, trackpad, and battery life. But now, with m1, m2, m3, it just isnt even fair. Windows laptops are literal trash waste of money.. It's quite sad
Hey Matthew, Need a suggestion from your end if you can help out my purchase decision 1. Zenbook 14X (i7-13700H) for $700 2. G14 (7735HS) for $900 3. Slim Pro 7 X (6800HS-CE) for $800 If not any of these which one would you suggest to be the best buy under $900. Much love, thanks
Hey Matt, thanks for the review. I think acer lacks of design details on their devices. The only outstanding device I can think of is the acer aspire vero line ... I hope you'll review the 16 inch one soon! :)
According to "hardwarecanucks" AMD 7840HS or 7840U is not even close to Intel Core ULTRA 7 155H even at 25W in video editing using davinchi resolve 18 or Premiere pro. 💪
Thanks for the review. It feels like this laptop makes just too many compromises. It doesn't have a good touchpad, screen, processing power, fit/finish, etc. What does this laptop have that is good?
i have this, its color blue. still on testing phase, also added 1 stick of 1tb nvme. when it is plugged, it gets very hot and loud, esp when on load. but boosted power. but me i prefer the silence than the noise. when you put it in silent mode even when plugged, it will not sustain in 4ghz range, resulting in lower temps. i have the core ultra 9 185h, 32gb lpddr5 ram but only 6400mhz (idk why), intel killer 1750x wifi 7, color blue, 2880x1800 oled 90hz. model num is sfg14-73-93un
Even at $799…would you buy this over an M1 MacBook? Like the workloads you’d do on this without a dGPU, couldn’t you also do nearly as well on an M1 but still get better battery life, have 0 fan noise, and better build display speakers etc.
This is exactly the predicament I'm in right now. I definitely prefer Windows but you can get a m1 Macbook for $699. I'm honestly waiting for acer to release the Vero with a core ultra chip. They said that would start at $750. Idk I'm so torn.
Would this be ok for a beginner or someone who just wants to have a play around with video editing? I got myself a drone and already got a camera and wanna start doing some RUclips vids of places I visit but wanna do it cheaper if possible
What do you think is better among Samsung galaxy book 2pro 360 Intel 12th Gen i5 Evo (16 GB /512gb ssd and this one? I am wondering which one would be better among them.
I on the other hand don't care that it looks slightly dated, makes it less likely to be stolen. It looks fine, other than the fact that it needs to be thicker for better cooling, thin and light has to be one of the worst things manufacturers ever did for performance, also valuing looks over reliability and performance, not only would it be better thicker for better cooling, but they could also fit a nice 99wh battery in there too. But nope, people only care about one thing these days.
@Gateastrologykc use your head. if it was a bit thicker, there would be no problem accommodating that battery size and a larger cooler to prevent thermal throttling and allowing an apu to be ran at near maximum tdp for both the cpu and integrated graphics. 1" or slightly less thickness such as 0.8 would lead to a laptop that also doesn't have to be made out of metal alloy of some type so that would also keep the costs down while allowing it to still feel substantial with no chassis flexing. No money wasted on stupid rgb, fancy accents, just function over form without having to spend a crazy amount of money on a laptop with a dgpu and over speced screen you can hardly take advantage of that uses a great deal of power even when the dgpu is turned off, it still sips power. Not only would you be able to allow an amd apu to fully stretch its legs, but during normal use, the battery life would be insane and you also wouldn't have to hear tiny little fans screaming away, bigger fans bigger coolers, lower noise, fans especially wont have to spin as fast. Perhaps even add better speakers inside too. But nope, fools want thin and light which limits and chokes performance. It'll still be portable too. Give it a nice ips panel an 8840hs or an upcoming intel lunar lake apu. Make it thicker, bigger battery, better cooler that actually fills space behind the motherboard with good ventilation, no flashy anything. Just something nice that doesn't cost a million dollars because of them putting extra crap all around it. Yup.
Great video, but 13700h beats 155h in cpu performance. Hard pass for egpus beacuse swift go 14 13700h 2023 has 2 ssd slots, for oculink egpu. Also second ssd slot is under blue ribbon cable near the fans.

It's gonna be hard to beat Apple because Apple can control everything from silicon, OS, SW, Application, etc. So Macbook is really really optimized from the ground (which is amazing). While Intel/AMD have so many legacy support that they need to live with (you cannot remove them from silicon). Also, Intel's process node is still behind. Intel 4 is their first EUV node, there is still a lot to improve IMO.
I am experiencing the same. It overheat and has loud fan noise. Impossible put this laptop on lap for more than 5 mns, feels burning, and the loud fan noise.... thinking of returning it
That is the Apple business model, and it makes sense that rivals are now latching onto this business practice. If your price is too low at launch, selling for the rest of its cycle becomes increasingly more difficult. Apple sussed that out years ago, and they use discounts at third-party sellers to lower prices as the cycle runs down.
@@HDRPC@RaviVerma-lx5vk True, but Apple gets OTT flack for lower performance with less RAM, and yet we see the reality that the Macs, in fact, perform extraordinarily well when compared to similar RAM spec Windows machines.
Seriously! Comparing this Acer to a MacBook Pro. Everything I've seen so far indicates these laptops should be compared to an Apple laptop more in its price range, i.e., the Air. The MacBook Pro (14" with a M3 Pro chip) is twice as expensive in its base configuration. If one is going to do a fair comparison then pick similarly priced laptops. Other than that, I don't disagree with the comments, although I'm more interested in how the M3 base in a Air compares, even though the Air is much more expensive also, especially after its memory and storage have been upgrade to 16GBs and 512GBs respectively. How much better is the M3 vs the Intel 155H?
I think your confused. The MacBook pro 14 in this video is using the regular base m3. Not m3 pro. There is no m3 in an air yet that won't be announced until next year and it will have similar perormance to the MacBook Pro 14 with base m3 that is Included in this video.
@@HDRPC nope hawk point is different than pheonix and strix point is coming in 2024 before arrow Lake, the strix Halo will be launching alongside arrowlake in 2025

I have seen the MB Air M2 priced around $999, so I recommend that as a better ultrabook choice. Although you would have less RAM and storage. But I have used a base MB Pro 13 M1 for three years with 8GB/256GB, and it would still compete well with this 2024 new Intel kid on the block.
Bro, i dont about acer Swift go. But i am using acer E5 from last 9 years without any defect. I am using 5 hours a day only development purpose. This is my opinion. But dont acer and apple. Apple is so costly
Hi, thanks for your video. But what can you recommend now? I wanna buy my first own laptop - i used alot at work. I was thinking about buying the Swift Go 14, Ultra 7 155h with 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD. In Germany we can preorder for about 1249 Euro. My Budget is 1200 Euro +100 more maybe. The Swift Go 14 OLED Version with i7 13700h is 1099 Euro at the moment at Acer Winter Sale, dropped by 1399 Euro to 1099 EUR. Hopefully you got an idea for me.
If you have ever used a MacBook for a longer period you will understand that it is far superior to Windows. But Windows has a natural monopoly with many people reluctant to try anything else, and they do not have the pleasure of using a superior device.
@@andyH_Englandyour opinion sucks ngl because the reason you started liking Mac more than Windows is not that Mac is superior rather you became used to MacBook's limitations of lesser content, windows on the other hand, is much superior in that field and is much capable.
5:03 My sister thinks all of those "fancy" laptops like the HP Spectre look ridiculous. She really does like those "bland" laptops and doesn't like really "exotic" designed laptops. Not everybody likes laptops that stand out.
@@MatthewMonizFair enough, although that's why many people like gaming laptops that don't look like gaming laptops, like Lenovo Legions before this year, recent HP gaming laptops, and Razer laptops, which is where the market is moving to. For $999, I think the design is okay. The below average build quality, microphone, and display are much bigger problems imo.
100% agree, plus you can probably swap out the framework's processor in the future if you really want to with the new processor lines. Although I'd really just stick with AMD for windows laptps across the board right now...
No specific reason why, you only said it's bad. I won't strongly agree to your statement. It lacks something we really need to know why you think that.
Problem is stock on AMD is always low or non existent they dont have the production capacity that Intel has and now that the Intel laptops perform just as well it will be a good thing for anyone picking up a laptop.
@MatthewMoniz That isn't really true anymore. Framework literally has laptops available to ship with both Intel 13th gen U and AMD Ryzen 7040 U and everybody is recommending the Ryzen CPUs because they're just objectively better at 15 watts or so that Intel. Literally the only thing preventing the 16 inch Framework Laptop from shipping is a power adapter problem and chirping fans, and that also uses AMD Ryzen 7040 CPUs, but this time their HS series, which also beats Intel H series in terms of efficiency. Which, you know, is why people buy thin and light laptops. The stock issue was worse at the start of the year; it's far better now. Now it's just brands disrespecting the consumer by NOW offering very few options (mostly Intel) when stock has clearly returned to normal. Meteor Lake is a step in the right direction in terms of GPU performance and efficiency, but a step in the wrong direction in terms of IPC, hence the lower single core performance. If next year's Intel Arrow Lake doesn't fix the IPC issues or make serious gains in terms of efficiency, I would seriously hope more brand use AMD Ryzen or else the PC market will collapse.
@@cameronbosch1213 Framework has a VERY small amount of customers. They are not really a good example. But I've spoken to 3 different OEMs and they all have the same issue with AMD supply. It's one out of a few other reasons they push Intel over AMD.
@@MatthewMoniz And that's why the PC market will collapse if Intel keeps screwing up. Consumers want AMD. Also, a very small amount of customers? Try saying that in 5 years...
Hp pavilion Plus 14 (68 Wh) with #AMD 7840U has 10 to 11 hours of BATTERY. Hp spectre x360 14 (68 Wh) with #Intel Core ULTRA 7 155H has 14 to 15 hours of BATTERY. 😱 Intel laptops BATTERY life is as good as MacBook M2/M3 even though Intel is using Tiles/Chiplet. Impressive🤯

They overpriced the laptop first so when it goes on "sale" they can drop it down to $799 which is still a bit overpriced for this build quality
That is the Apple business model, and it makes sense that rivals are now latching onto this business practice. If your price is too low at launch, selling for the rest of its cycle becomes increasingly more difficult. Apple sussed that out years ago, and they use discounts at third-party sellers to lower prices as the cycle runs down.
Yikes! Guess I have no choice but to switch to macbook for Davinci Resolve 😅
exhaust direct to to bezel/screen, it's a great idea when you have full load system and hot air hits the bezel/screen for long term
I think people should wait for an XPS laptop on this processor. That will be something like Macbook.
Yes. Photoshop is limited by RAM otherwise. ULTRA 7 155H will beat M3.
This Acer laptops need 32GB for Photoshop or any Adobe app.
Notebookcheck tested a variant of the Swift Go 14 Meteor Lake with 32 GB
@@HDRPC@RaviVerma-lx5vk True, but Apple gets OTT flack for lower performance with less RAM, and yet we see the reality that the Macs, in fact, perform extraordinarily well when compared to similar RAM spec Windows machines.
@@andyH_England this is the only generation of M3 when they introduced dynamic caching so yes.
Seriously! Comparing this Acer to a MacBook Pro. Everything I've seen so far indicates these laptops should be compared to an Apple laptop more in its price range, i.e., the Air. The MacBook Pro (14" with a M3 Pro chip) is twice as expensive in its base configuration. If one is going to do a fair comparison then pick similarly priced laptops. Other than that, I don't disagree with the comments, although I'm more interested in how the M3 base in a Air compares, even though the Air is much more expensive also, especially after its memory and storage have been upgrade to 16GBs and 512GBs respectively. How much better is the M3 vs the Intel 155H?
I think your confused. The MacBook pro 14 in this video is using the regular base m3. Not m3 pro. There is no m3 in an air yet that won't be announced until next year and it will have similar perormance to the MacBook Pro 14 with base m3 that is Included in this video.
@@MatthewMoniz Fair enough. I didn't expect the 155H to be as good as an Apple M3.
Intel caughtup to last gen amd, uhh.... this year will be rough for intel when hawk point and strix point will be released
Hawk point is exactly same as Phoenix.
Strix point sale will start after the sale of Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake.

Just a new NPU.
I have seen the MB Air M2 priced around $999, so I recommend that as a better ultrabook choice. Although you would have less RAM and storage. But I have used a base MB Pro 13 M1 for three years with 8GB/256GB, and it would still compete well with this 2024 new Intel kid on the block.
omg this guy just keep talking.......
Is there a non OLED version???
No sound from my side
Bro, i dont about acer Swift go. But i am using acer E5 from last 9 years without any defect. I am using 5 hours a day only development purpose. This is my opinion. But dont acer and apple. Apple is so costly
Hi, thanks for your video. But what can you recommend now? I wanna buy my first own laptop - i used alot at work. I was thinking about buying the Swift Go 14, Ultra 7 155h with 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD. In Germany we can preorder for about 1249 Euro. My Budget is 1200 Euro +100 more maybe. The Swift Go 14 OLED Version with i7 13700h is 1099 Euro at the moment at Acer Winter Sale, dropped by 1399 Euro to 1099 EUR. Hopefully you got an idea for me.
Another Apple advertisement disguised as an Acer review. Same old, same old.
How??
If you have ever used a MacBook for a longer period you will understand that it is far superior to Windows. But Windows has a natural monopoly with many people reluctant to try anything else, and they do not have the pleasure of using a superior device.
@@andyH_Englandno
@@andyH_Englandyour opinion sucks ngl because the reason you started liking Mac more than Windows is not that Mac is superior rather you became used to MacBook's limitations of lesser content, windows on the other hand, is much superior in that field and is much capable.
mine did not come with the blow dryer.. ?
5:03 My sister thinks all of those "fancy" laptops like the HP Spectre look ridiculous. She really does like those "bland" laptops and doesn't like really "exotic" designed laptops.
Not everybody likes laptops that stand out.
Doesn't need to be fancy or exotic but it looks like the same laptop from 2012. Some small design improvements would go a long way!
@@MatthewMonizFair enough, although that's why many people like gaming laptops that don't look like gaming laptops, like Lenovo Legions before this year, recent HP gaming laptops, and Razer laptops, which is where the market is moving to.
For $999, I think the design is okay. The below average build quality, microphone, and display are much bigger problems imo.
I think u r not acer fan
For that price I would rather get the framework 13
100% agree, plus you can probably swap out the framework's processor in the future if you really want to with the new processor lines. Although I'd really just stick with AMD for windows laptps across the board right now...
@@Ceredron Yes Amd is the one to have right now
Pls tell me where you can get a prebuilt Framework 13 with 16 GB RAM, 1TB storage, and Windows for $999
@@Workaholic42 You would need to get the DIY edition to get it for 1000,I got mine for about 1100euros but I think it's a bit cheaper in the US

It's 599 on Amazon now
I need ASUS to shove this CPU in an Zephyrus G14 in 2024! The battery life from these look phenomenal!
Stay tuned :P

Basically bad in every way, not worth the price
How?
Coz its a few steps behind AMD watch the video intel is close to AMD but not competative... @@KP21530
Exactly. Not even the homeless would be caught using an Acer. 😅
No specific reason why, you only said it's bad. I won't strongly agree to your statement. It lacks something we really need to know why you think that.
@rionvalet Whether you strongly or don't agree whatsoever, doesn't change the fact that it's absolute garbage. 🤣

Junk. Don't buy. Won't last too long
you are an apple fan boy! very bad review mister
Or you're an Apple hater? I like to show how things perform across the spectrum instead of just Intel and AMD. Context is important
Dude, he's literally comparing CPU's between 14 inch laptops. Macbook's happen to fit that category, what the hell are you talking about 😂
Once he said Intel, I immediately stopped watching.
So... Bascially get a system with an AMD Ryzen 8040 or 7040 CPU. That's the point of Meteor Lake. Just buy an AMD system instead of Intel.
Problem is stock on AMD is always low or non existent they dont have the production capacity that Intel has and now that the Intel laptops perform just as well it will be a good thing for anyone picking up a laptop.
@MatthewMoniz That isn't really true anymore. Framework literally has laptops available to ship with both Intel 13th gen U and AMD Ryzen 7040 U and everybody is recommending the Ryzen CPUs because they're just objectively better at 15 watts or so that Intel.
Literally the only thing preventing the 16 inch Framework Laptop from shipping is a power adapter problem and chirping fans, and that also uses AMD Ryzen 7040 CPUs, but this time their HS series, which also beats Intel H series in terms of efficiency. Which, you know, is why people buy thin and light laptops.
The stock issue was worse at the start of the year; it's far better now. Now it's just brands disrespecting the consumer by NOW offering very few options (mostly Intel) when stock has clearly returned to normal.
Meteor Lake is a step in the right direction in terms of GPU performance and efficiency, but a step in the wrong direction in terms of IPC, hence the lower single core performance. If next year's Intel Arrow Lake doesn't fix the IPC issues or make serious gains in terms of efficiency, I would seriously hope more brand use AMD Ryzen or else the PC market will collapse.
@@MatthewMoniz true, somehow my local distributor doesn't have any 7040U laptop in distribution for a long time
@@cameronbosch1213 Framework has a VERY small amount of customers. They are not really a good example. But I've spoken to 3 different OEMs and they all have the same issue with AMD supply. It's one out of a few other reasons they push Intel over AMD.
@@MatthewMoniz And that's why the PC market will collapse if Intel keeps screwing up. Consumers want AMD.
Also, a very small amount of customers? Try saying that in 5 years...
Even Hawk Point is enough for this Mediocre Lake let alone Strix series which prolly will decimate it 😂😂
Not good enough, try harder, Intel.
Hp pavilion Plus 14 (68 Wh) with #AMD 7840U has 10 to 11 hours of BATTERY.
Hp spectre x360 14 (68 Wh) with #Intel Core ULTRA 7 155H has 14 to 15 hours of BATTERY. 😱
Intel laptops BATTERY life is as good as MacBook M2/M3 even though Intel is using Tiles/Chiplet.
