First on the roster is the Acer Swift Go lineup, available in 14-inch and 16-inch models. These laptops are replacing the Swift 3 lineup as part of an effort to make Acer's branding more informative at a glance. Featuring new, squarer designs, both laptops come equipped with Windows 11, and are certified on the Intel Evo platform with new 13th Gen Intel H-Series processors. This also means both laptops will come equipped with Intel's new Unison app out of the box.

The claim to fame for these two devices, however, is the option for a gorgeous OLED display, which goes up to a 3.2K resolution on the 16-inch version and supports both DisplayHDR500 and 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Of course, there are also options for more traditional LCD panels to drive down the cost, and these laptops do start out in the mid-range category.

The Acer Swift Go 14 will be available globally in February and in North America in May, and will start at USD $849.99. The Swift Go 16 will be available globally in March and in North America in June, and will start at USD $799.99. You can view the full specifications for both models below.

Next, we have the more premium entries in Acer's lineup, including the Acer Swift 14 (which replaces the Swift 5), and an updated Swift X 14 with dedicated GPUs. Both laptops are powered by 13th Gen Intel H-Series processors, and are certified for the Intel Evo, promising improved thermal performance and battery life. The Swift 14 is a more traditional premium ultrabook, with thin metal unibody with chamfered edges, a Windows Hello-equipped 1440p webcam, and dual USB Type-C Thunderbolt 4 ports for connectivity. On the GPU side, you get Intel's impressive Xe integrated graphics.

The Acer Swift X 14 is thicker, heavier, and considerably more powerful. It updates the existing Acer Swift X 14 SFX14 with a refreshed design and 13th Gen Intel H-Series processors, with options for up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU inside. You also get the option for a 120Hz OLED display with DisplayHDR500 support, making the Swift X 14 a fantastic option for those who need an ultrabook that can handle creative work or even light gaming.

The Acer Swift 14 will be available globally in January and in North America in March, and will start at USD $1,399.99. The Acer Swift X 14 will be available globally in April, and will start at USD $1099.99. You can view the full specs for both laptops below.
