I have to agree with what you have said, brilliant review, I can not dispute any claim by you, this is a one fine little machine, to me the best I have owned so far.

@@Hubwood Uhh, you'd be the only person claiming the wireless card isn't upgradable. Is this true? If so, it's a massive step back from previous generations.

@@rushabhhere interesting. According to Acer it doesn't. Might be a different version that I tested. I will test the ultra 7 version soon aswell. Might check that out.
Does the air vent below the screen through hot air at the screen in heavy use??Is it a concern for long term use? Does that degrade the screen quality over time?
@@mlnutd8345 maybe I'm unlucky, and the one I got is a bit more sensible... Or you just haven't noticed it yet. Try to set the brightness to 50-70%, fill the screen with an opened tab of explorer in dark mode or any other dark-gray (not black) picture, make sure the taskbar is hidden and that lighting in the room is not too bright, or just turn it off. If you see any little foggy spot on the lower side of the screen, then you have the same issue; if you don't then I'm just unlucky.

I am really thinking about purchasing this laptop with Ultra 5 and OLED display. But I am worried about fan noise and excessive heating. Will that be a problem? Also it is durable enough? Or are there better alternatives for similar budget? Anybody's response is appreciated. Thank you!
@@Hubwoodis the arc gpu running on this device with no issues? intel strongly stated arc gpu is only available on select H-series Intel® Core™ Ultra processor powered systems with at least 16GB of system memory in a dual-channel configuration. is that device runnong on dual channel ram?
@@Hubwoodthanks. im actually concerned because i just saw that notice from intel today but i already ordered lastweek a yoga 7i with ultra core 5 125h cpu but only having single channel 16gb ram lpddr5x 7467 mhz speed( is this going to be an issue? ) . hope the arc graphic will be running just fine with my device and be better than older intel xe gpus, tho im not expecting that much as it is still only an integrated gpu ofcourse. cheers
No, modern CPUs don't allow for overheating. The junction temperature logic will kick in to prevent any damage from overcurrent situations that would lead to excessive temperatures.
Intel graphics drivers were not ever top of the line, but it looks like they are on a mission from God. To erase the bad memories of ATI drivers circa 2002 as the worst.
The model in this video is SFG14-72, with an OLED display and higher resolution. The one with a touch screen is SFG14-72T, lower resolution with touch. Do you want the "T" or a better-resolution OLED?
💫 I BOUGHT THIS LAPTOP 💫 HERE IS THE REVIEW. I bought my Acer Swift Go 14 on September 28, featuring an Ultra 5 125H processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and a 90Hz OLED HDR display running Windows 11 (23H2). I got it for 60,000 INR after discounts, down from around 80K. My previous laptop was the ASUS FX504, which I used for 6 years. --------- NEGATIVES --------- Wi-Fi Speeds & Performance: The ASUS consistently outperforms the Acer in download speeds, and I occasionally feel a static sensation when touching the metal surface while charging. Sharp Trackpad Edge & Heat During Charging: The trackpad edge is uncomfortable, and the right side gets hot while charging, making it tough to use on my lap. Useless Copilot Key & Keyboard Backlight: I remapped the Copilot key to Ctrl using AutoHotKey, but the keyboard backlight turns off too quickly, which is frustrating. AI Features & Webcam: The AI eye contact feature is poorly executed, and the wide-angle webcam captures too much of my surroundings. Glossy Display: It's highly reflective, which isn't ideal for bright environments. --------- POSITIVES --------- Stunning Design & Trackpad: The laptop looks sleek, almost like a MacBook, and the massive trackpad is so good that I hardly use a mouse. Solid Hinge & Great Keyboard: The hinge is easy to open with one hand and feels premium, while the keyboard is clicky and visually appealing. Outstanding Display: It's bright and colorful, with excellent HDR for movies. Useful AI Features & Decent Speakers: The AI background blurring and noise cancellation work well, and the speakers are good for a laptop. Convenient Charging & Good I/O: I can use my phone's USB-C charger, and there are multiple USB ports and useful features. --------- PERFORMANCE--------- While I haven't tested it with games or benchmarks yet, the Acer is significantly faster than my ASUS for everyday tasks. It handles multiple apps smoothly, even on battery. --------- BATTERY LIFE--------- You can't expect stellar battery life with a high-resolution H-series processor. I got around 5 hours of SOT with regular use and 4 hours while looping a 4K movie. There are ways to extend battery life, but I prefer using it to its full potential since it stays on my desk most of the time. --------- CONCLUSION--------- For the price I paid, I believe I found the best laptop for my needs. I'm very satisfied overall. For the full review, check out my post here. Thanks for reading!

I have to agree with what you have said, brilliant review, I can not dispute any claim by you, this is a one fine little machine, to me the best I have owned so far.
Hello can i know if it's still good?
@@Biotechy Yes, I have been using it from January of this year and still going strong, I like it.
Can't wait for budget ideapad Ryzen 7000 and 8000 chips.
That cap color trolled me so much throughout the video with the wall in the background 🤣
Oh no, sorry 🙈😂
why did they reduce 2 threads in their new Meteor Lake processors? (ex, the previous 14 core, 20 thread became 14 core, 18 threads)
They changed 2 Performance cores for 2 low power efficient cores. Only the performance cores can make double thread
This is a replacement for the 4+8 core 8+8 thread i5 13500H. But this time they added 2 extra small cores so it becomes 4+8+2 core/ 8+8+2 thread.
Additional knowledge if your planning to buy laptop:
H =High Performance
G7 =Low Integrated Graphics Card
G = High Integrated Graphics Card
Y = Ultra Low Power Consumption
U = Low Power Consumption
Thanks for this nice review, mine is on it's way 😃
Enjoy! 😊
@@Hubwood Thanks 😃
A modern notebook with that gameplay quality? It's something inadmissible.
Would you recommend the Touchscreen 1920 x 1200 or OLED 2880 x 1800?
Oled
Do you think it's a design problem that the fans blast hot air to the screen?
No, a lot of laptops have their air exhaust next to the hinge, that's the case with my Latitude, and I don't have any problems with that.
@@remasher It is indeed a problem. I had to prove it the hard way...
Why didn't you disassemble it?
Cause was meant to be a quick review :) (not much to see really, 2 fans with heat pipes. And the m. 2 is swappable. But that's it.
@@Hubwood So basically nonexistent upgradeability. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind before choosing the specs!
@@Hubwood Uhh, you'd be the only person claiming the wireless card isn't upgradable. Is this true?
If so, it's a massive step back from previous generations.
@@tim3172 sorry yes thats swappable, didn't mention that as barely anyone ever does that, sorry my bad
Hello Hubwood, can you do a review of Asus Vivobook 16X, it has a 4050 and quite budgety.
Does this core ultra 5 variant have an additional SSD slot like the core ultra 7 variant?
Both of them only have 1 M.2 slot.
The core ultra 7 version aswell!
@@Hubwood Oh, because I saw Andrew Marc David mention that it has an additional slot in his review video here: th-cam.com/video/K4jRCJFf6YA/w-d-xo.html.
@@rushabhhere interesting. According to Acer it doesn't. Might be a different version that I tested.
I will test the ultra 7 version soon aswell. Might check that out.
Does it have an additional ram slot?
Curious a about this also watching the other video. You'd imagine the board u5 or u7 be the same. Having ability to put on a 4tb m.2 would be awesome
Fan noise?
2:18 is it IPS or OLED display as mention in description products boxes it said IPS
Don't know if there are different models screen wise but this is an OLED one
@@Hubwoodyeah, there are two versions, 2880x1800 oled and a 1920x1200 touchscreen version
Does the air vent below the screen through hot air at the screen in heavy use??Is it a concern for long term use? Does that degrade the screen quality over time?
It does. Mine have a white stain on the screen because of that after just 2 days of use lmao. Hope I'll be able to get my money back.
@golem-of-thoughts I havent had such issue..Its been more than 3 months..

Did you end up buying it? How is it?
Hello! Can you make a video on rtx 3050 6gb vs rtx 2060 mobile it will be really helpful and interesting to see if possible!
is the video oversharpen or did my opera gx turned on that weird feature again
I can't see oversharpening 🤔
@@Hubwood i think its just my nvidia setting trying to upscale the video my bad
What is the ARC GPU in this laptop? I saw a lot of variant like 7 series 5 series and 3 series
It's the arc integrated graphics of the core ultra 5 125h. With 112 EUs and 7 Xes
@@Hubwoodis the arc gpu running on this device with no issues? intel strongly stated arc gpu is only available on select H-series Intel® Core™ Ultra processor powered systems with at least 16GB of system memory in a dual-channel configuration. is that device runnong on dual channel ram?
@@JadeBuaya no. it had a big issue because its only using 20 Watt...it was therefore running much slower than expected...

@@JadeBuaya it should be okay. i think they Said it has to be 16gb. And ddr5 is kinda Always dual Channel. Even with one Stick...
Does the laptop overheats when doing long duration game and does the vent sent very hot air towards screen?
No, modern CPUs don't allow for overheating. The junction temperature logic will kick in to prevent any damage from overcurrent situations that would lead to excessive temperatures.
@@tim3172 Okay thanks..
Is „Acer Swift X 14 OLED (SFX14-72G-7208)“ better than asus zenbook 14 with intel pentium 7, intel arc graphic. I ask you For games
For games yes since it has a dedicated GPU :)
@ so i can also play black ops 5 with this swift?
how does apps like after effects work ?
Works fine :)
It has a 90 Hz refresh rate instead of 120 Hz. Is the 90 Hz refresh rate really good?
Defenitely better than 60. It's noticeable. A compromise.
Hi are u active?
Yeah
Can you also test fortnite in future review with performance mode pls
I did test it in the gaming review I mentioned in the video! Also in performance mode!
How is the build quality compared to Dell? Acer usually has questionable build quality.
Intel graphics drivers were not ever top of the line, but it looks like they are on a mission from God. To erase the bad memories of ATI drivers circa 2002 as the worst.
Can you confirm that the screen is touch screen?
No. Not for the model I've tested.
The model in this video is SFG14-72, with an OLED display and higher resolution. The one with a touch screen is SFG14-72T, lower resolution with touch. Do you want the "T" or a better-resolution OLED?
