what would be interesting is comparing the Swift 14 AI AMD, Swift 14 AI Intel, and the Swift 14 with the Snapdragon chip

Nice pc. Camera was very good and mics are good. Sound is okay. Good display. This is a very good pc for everyday work and web browsing. Port selection is good although an sd card reader should have been added and could have replaced one of the usb-a ports. Great review.

I'm glad not every company going full on OLED

Andrew, thank you for this review and enjoyed watching your videos. I am wondering if you are going to review the Swift AI 16 soon as my family is interested in that laptop. Thank you!

Thank you Andrew for the review of the Acer Swift 14 AI, I had seen it available at Best Buy, excellent explanatory video on the features and its final conclusion, good performance is observed with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor in its daily use, in addition they will come out with the Intel Ultra Lunar Lake 7 and 9 processor for the Acer Swift 14 AI and Acer Swift 16 AI, the Asus Vivobook S 14 OLED model looks very promising and with good features, greetings and always LIKE 👍

I need to replace my aging XPS13 which has been a champ of a machine and I'm amazed at how many similar options I dismiss out of hand because they dont have USB-C charging ports on both sides of the machine. This one included Im afraid.

Between yoga 7x and this one what should you choose?

[berntlie]

Surprisingly nice laptop. Good video. Not quite sure about the sound.

[rafaelperez]

So I have mixed feelings about the Acer Swift 14 AI as I much prefer the Asus laptop in comparison. Having said that, I think the 1440p webcam on this particular laptop looks awesome while the audio quality of the internal mics is fair. The background blur is awesome as well. The laptop also has a good amount of ports and great battery life. In comparison with the Asus, this one is more expensive and the Asus is a much better value in my opinion. The Asus laptop also has better audio sound from the internal speakers than the Acer. In conclusion, take the better pick. Great video review Andrew!! 👍😁

Nice but the blinking light on the trackpad is annoying

[ivailoburov]

A matte touch screen is rare. This is one of my criteria when choosing. Glossy screens are for exhibition, not for work, in my opinion.

[kafaiyu]

hi, thanks for you review. I want to buy one. However, in the website, it seems cannot find an option for 32gb ram. Could you guide me? thanks❤

[stevenhorton]

Can this play COD WZ OR BO6 ??and how well?

[ianmentken]

Hey Andrew, LG has released their Core Ultra versions (Core 5 and Core 7) of their Gram Pro 2 in 1 laptop, any chance you will be reviewing these machines? I'd love your opinion on them.

[Crypticals-]

Any chance you could review, the Honor Magicbook art 14 ? (which has a detachable magnetic webcam, built into the chassis & can flip 180 degrees to make front or rear facing) looks like a promising future idea.

*_Positives_*

*Price around £1000*

Thank you for the review.
I tried the Swift 14 Go with Core Ultra 5 125H. The fan kicked in as soon as I powered up the laptop for the first time and set up the Windows. It was too loud and I had to return that laptop. It seems to me Acer's laptops generally have louder fan noise under load, compared to other brands.

[IvoPavlik]

Why there are so few AMD Strix Point laptops?

[danielsacilotto]

I don't see why anyone would pick this over the Vivobook at 650, unless one is terminally opposed to OLED or needs multicore performance badly...

[trashcanu]

It is a pretty good laptop but why are we not allowed to buy it? It doesn't exist in Finland at least or in Europe in general. Perhaps Acer does not want to sell it?

[Waldherz]

If this had another C port on the right side for charging, I might have gotten it.
Cant stand and wont buy any laptop that cant be charged on both sides.
