Acer Swift Go 16 (SFG16-71) review – Ready! Swift! Go!


One of Acer’s best-looking brands – the Swift series, is getting an all-new renaming going on. With “X”, “Air”, and now the “Go” finding its way into the naming scheme, Acer plans to be more akin to the youth.

Today, we are going to show you the 16-inch Acer Swift Go 16 (SFG16-71). It can be found in various different configurations regarding the display for example. Its top-tier model includes a 3.2K OLED display, while the base one comes with the more down-to-earth 1920×1200 IPS unit.

Right now, the situation around the processor options is a bit foggy, but we know for sure that it will feature the Core i5-1335U and the Core i7-13700H. It should come with the Core i7-1355U, and the Core i7-13620H too.

But as the Swift series has always delivered on this front – the most compelling purchase factor would be the lightness of the product. In a minute you will learn more about that, but first, let’s take a look at the specs sheet.

What’s in the box?

Inside the package, we found some paperwork, as well as a 65W USB Type-C charger. This, at least, is when you get the U-series CPU. Laptops with the H-series processor should be coming with 100W power adapters.
