Cyber Monday is a great time to score discounts on some of the more expensive electronics you need. If you do your work from a laptop, then a solid upgrade may be one of those big purchases to try making now. For a laptop that goes well beyond the basics while maintaining an affordable price, the Acer Swift Go 14 offers a lot, and this Amazon discount brings the price down considerably, seeing it land at just $650, or 28% off.
Compact and lightweight, the Acer Swift Go 14 is ready for everyday use and can keep up with everyday work. For Cyber Monday, it’s $250 off.?
The Acer Swift Go 14 is a subtle machine. It’s not sporting the sleekest design or any interesting colors; it’s a simple laptop built from aluminum, which is a quality material to get for the price. What really makes the laptop stand out, though, is all the little perks it tacks on. Chief among them is its display: The 1,920 x 1,200 display is reasonably sharp for the size, and Acer saw fit to have it offer 100% coverage of the sRGB color space, making it a lot more lively looking than the typical office computer.
It’s also a touch display, making certain interactions with the PC more natural. When you want to hop onto video chats, you’ll have a 1440p webcam on deck that should far outpace the typical 720p cameras on many laptops.
The Acer Swift Go 14 also should have plenty of performance for everyday computing with its Intel Core i7-1355U processor and 16GB of RAM. All of that’s coming in a lightweight package that weighs well below 3 pounds, so you can easily carry this system around in a bag or backpack.
I previously saw impressive battery life from a different Acer Swift Go 14 configuration with a more power-hungry processor and display, so this configuration should readily handle long work sessions away from power outlets. All told, there’s a lot of capability here for a $650 computer.
