In January, Acer announced the Swift 14 (SF14-71T-74F) laptop at CES 2023. The brand states that this thin and light notebook is a spiritual successor of the popular Swift 5 laptop and boasts a high-end CNC-machined aluminum body with dual-anodized gold-colored edges.
Currently, Acer is offering only one model of this machine that features a 14-inch 2560 x 1600 60 Hz IPS touchscreen display and an Intel i7-13700H processor. It also has 16 GB LPDDR5 RAM soldered onto the motherboard and a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD for storage. This model has a price tag of $1,399.99 in the US.
Acer intends to offer a more affordable option of the Swift 14 laptop, estimated to be priced around US$1,000. This variant is likely to feature an i5-13500H processor, 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM, 512 GB storage, and a 14-inch touchscreen displaying 1920 x 1200 resolution. The RAM specifications also indicate a pricier edition with 32 GB capacity.
All versions of the Swift 14 laptop come with a standard set of features, including 2x Thunderbolt 4 and 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 connector, an HDMI 2.1 video output, and an audio jack. The laptop also offers wireless connectivity via an Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.1 card. The audio system comprises two 2W speakers that are powered by DTS Audio, a 1440p webcam with temporal noise reduction and dual mic array, and a fingerprint sensor that is cleverly integrated into the power button. The laptop’s battery can keep it running for up to 16 hours on a single charge.
Acer offers the Swift 14 in two striking color options: Mist Green and Steam Blue. The laptop is incredibly slim, measuring a mere 0.59 inches (14.95 mm) in thickness, and weighs approximately 2.65 lbs (1.2 kg).
