Chassis, connections, screen of the Acer Swift Go SFG16-72-005

Cooled by TwinAir technology via 2 fans, 2 copper heat pipes and air vents, this versatile laptop PC has an elegant and discreet look with its thin and light dark aluminum design that can be opened 180° completely flat.

This multimedia laptop integrates good connectivity including 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 (compared to 1 maximum usually), a practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV for example, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely, an audio port as well as 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.

Biometric authentication is possible through the fingerprint reader and Windows Hello technology.

The chiclet keyboard is of course equipped with a backlighting system that you simply activate whenever you need to better distinguish your keys.

The screen clearly stands out with its 3.2K High Definition which is significantly higher than average, its 16/10th format also displaying more elements in height than the classic 16/9th.
As a bonus, the screen is adorned with DCI-P3 High Fidelity OLED characteristics providing much more faithful colors than average in addition to great black depth, significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles as well as minimal latency. This is supported by a refresh rate of 120Hz to provide much better fluidity in everyday life than a standard 60Hz panel.
Due to its OLED technology, the screen has a glossy treatment which gives punch to the colors but is subject to reflections in a bright environment (eg outdoors).

Performance, autonomy of the Acer Swift Go SFG16-72-005

The Acer Swift Go SFG16-72-005 may appeal to those who wish to invest in a thin and light high-definition, high-fidelity high-performance portable multimedia-oriented multimedia laptop with large storage capacity.

In terms of autonomy, it is able to last around 8 hours on battery in light use, which some people wishing to have a Student laptop will appreciate it all the more as its finesse and low weight make it easy to transport.

To do this, it relies on energy-efficient components such as SSD storage which consumes little energy while being silent, shock-resistant and fast. This high velocity reinforces the fluidity and responsiveness of the laptop PC on a daily basis.

To be more precise, we find here no less than 2 SSDs (compared to 1 usually) for a total capacity of 2000 GB, which is double the average. Suffice to say that you can calmly install and store multiple software and files, including a personal creation if you wish.

In practice, thanks to the SSD it is quick to start/stop, carry out processing, launch applications or even access online game cards.

Be careful, however, this laptop clearly does not target gamers since it does not include a dedicated graphics card.
However, in addition to watching HD photos and videos, you can play light to modest games thanks to the benefits of the Intel Arc solution inserted in the processor, superior to those of the classic Iris Xe.

However, playing requires most games to make adjustments such as reducing the screen definition.
Because playing in 3.2K requires a lot more calculations than in Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.

The Intel Arc takes place in the Core Ultra 7 155H, Intel processor Meteor Lake with AI capabilities and 16 hybrid cores. It is very well supported in its tasks by the large amount of 32 GB RAM – twice the average.

This core delivers solid general performance and reveals its potential under work demanding CPU and RAM resources using multi-core (and AI), such as video editing or photo editing.
Multimedia processing is carried out faster with this type of work than with a classic Quad/Hexa Core and 16/24 GB DDR4/5.

Finally, in the event of heavy loads (e.g. treatments), expect this versatile multimedia laptop to heat up and make itself heard.
To contain its temperatures, it can be coupled, if necessary, to a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
