Bored of Intel’s Meteor Lake laptops swarming the market and instead hoping for some Team Red action? Fear not as Acer answers that question with the new Swift Edge 16 and Swift Go 14 laptops.
Equipped with the AMD Ryzen 8040 series processors, these machines are aimed to do the same as Team Blue – AI inferencing on the fly to speed up processing and elevate productivity. With up to 8 ‘Zen 4’ cores and 16 threads, not only they are power efficient and effective, but several Acer features are also enabled thanks to these new processors.
First, we have the Swift Edge 16 equipped with the Ryzen 7 8840U with Radeon 780M iGPU and Ryzen AI, up to 32GB LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD.
For the display, it is a 16-inch 3.2K OLED panel is a gorgeous unit that provides a 120Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification while essential ports including USB-C, USB-A, microSD, and HDMI 2.1 fill the laptop to the brim.
Connectivity and security features wise, they are handled by Wi-Fi 7 compatibility and hardware-based Microsoft Pluton to speed up loading times while getting protected at all times.
As for the system itself, it comes in a 1.23kg and 12.95mm thin MgAl alloy body painted with a classic look.
As for the Swift Go 14, the max specs can go as high as AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS + 32GB LPDDR5X + 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD + 2.8K OLED 90Hz IPS screen. The hinge is a 180-degree unit so you can at least put the laptop completely flat on a surface.
It has a similar finish in terms of the body that can easily match any lifestyle or environment partially thanks to the 44% larger OceanGlass touchpad. The package also contains things like a 1440p webcam, dual USB-C ports with USB 4 compatibility, Bluetooth 5.3, a microSD card reader, Microsoft Pluton, and more.
