Acer’s excellent productivity laptop with touchscreen is $300 off

A daily driver laptop is what most of us need for work and leisure, and we always want to grab one that’s affordable yet powerful. If you’re in the market for such a laptop, here’s a sweet deal to pounce on: Acer’s Swift Go 14 laptop is only $649 at B&H. That’s a massive $300 off!

With an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, a decent 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage, this is a fast and capable machine that can handle all things work-related, plus it can stream high-res video and even do some light gaming. Don’t push it too hard because it doesn’t have a dedicated graphics card, but the integrated Intel Arc graphics are good enough if you’re willing to compromise on settings.

While the 14-inch screen may not seem very large, it is a touchscreen. That’s great for convenient finger navigation, which comes in handy for reading PDFs, browsing the web, etc. And it all looks crisp with its 1920×1200 resolution, but the 60Hz refresh rate leaves something to be desired—it’s merely adequate for light gaming.

The Acer Swift Go 14 comes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, which isn’t too common on laptops in this price range. These are super-fast USB-C ports that can transfer files in a flash and handle video display for external monitors. You also get two USB-A 3.2 ports, a full-sized HDMI 2.1 port, a headset jack, and a microSD card slot. That’s a pretty darn good offering for a productivity laptop.

We tested the Acer Swift Go 14 and had nothing but praise for it: “It’s true that the Swift Go 14 isn’t the most high-end luxurious model you can buy, but it’s not trying to be either. It’s a travel workhorse. Strong enough to get you through everyday tasks, whether that’s Office apps or checking email, and light enough not to weigh you down.”

At $649, the Acer Swift Go 14 is an absolute bargain and you should definitely add it to your cart sooner rather than later because awesome deals like this tend to come and go fast.
