    Can we stop calling things pricing errors when they are not obvious mistakes (e.g. $2.50 for wedding dress)? It just gives businesses an easy excuse to not honour sale prices.

      Regular price is ~$1500 so this is about a 20% discount. This is easily achieved on any RRP items using giftcards on big stores so Idk why some people think its an error when its not even a big discount.

    Acer AU support is beyond terrible. Makes Telstra support look fantastic by comparison.

      My sons Acer broke the hinge 3 times in 2.5 years .
      To Acers credit it was repaired the first 2 times but it was a painful process ,
      The only reason it was repaired was the fact that he really looked after it and there was not a scratch on it .
      He starts Uni next year and I won't be buying him another Acer .

    Specs look good, but based on the comments the speakers are utter trash so take it with a pinch of salt

      Anyone that cares won't default to laptop speakers for anything.

    Any cheaper laptops with a high quality OLED display? Or is this the only one?

      have seen a few a little cheaper $100-200 but nowhere near as good specs.

    It appears on their Black Friday sale page.. hopefully ends any "price error" speculation. https://store.acer.com/en-au/black-friday-2023

    Does anyone have info on the RAM? Soldered? How many slots? (looking like soldered from some unofficial things I can find)

    Acer in my experience is nothing but a trash, no matter how fancy specs they come with.. Had a very very bitter experience with their laptop quality and their support.. 13 years to that experience as still very much alive in my memory..

    • shabaka on 07/11/2023 - 22:53

      yeah I had a gaming Acer Nitro that I bought directly from Acer AU. it had a keyboard with an interesting and exciting flaw - it was registering key presses only if you were hitting the letters dead center lol

      blind typing or gaming and you hit the key slightly off center and you're out of luck

      they gave me StarLink pickup service to get it back to their service center. came back 2 weeks later same issue. I escalated the issue got it sent back again, they admitted the issue is there, and offered me a different model as replacement. I opted for refund. all in all wasted 2.5 months back and forth till I got money back

      not again! lol

      even though few months down the track I bought from them again, this time Nitro 5 with 3060 for $900+ which was too hard to pass!

      • matt-ozb on 07/11/2023 - 23:07

        Starlink .. like satellite internet to return the laptop?

        • shabaka on 08/11/2023 - 10:52

          late night typo it seems. StarTrack lol

        It’s annoying definitely but I would actually say that’s OK service in the end since they admitted fault and you got a refund.

        Try that with Asus or Samsung and I guarantee a refund is never even on the table.

    Extremely noob question if someone might be so kind to answer? how do the following displays compare?

    16 inch 2560x1600 display vs 14 inch OLED 2880X1800

    The following post by a redditor who reviewed the Thinkpad E16 AMD Gen 1 has me perplexed:

    "The 16 inch 2560x1600 display completes the experience on this laptop…This is PERFECTLY sharp and pleasant for any work task, a complete joy to use. Nobody should overlook the difference a display like this one makes on productivity. It's night and day compared to a 14 inch laptop. The extreme screen to body ratio combined with the edge to edge keyboard deck optimizes the size of this device. You literally get more productivity for a given size. Even though it is lower resolution than a 14 inch 2880x1800 OLED panel, it looks way sharper. Subpixels matter, people."

    • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 07/11/2023 - 23:33

      What's perplexing there?

      • harn.mui on 07/11/2023 - 23:38
        +1

        I assumed OLED will look sharper, but the last sentence of the Reddit review/opinion/comment said the 16inch lower res display (on the Thinkpad E16 Gen 1) looks "way sharper" when compared to a 14 inch 2880x1880 OLED panel (which I think is what this Acer Swift Go 14 has?) or am I wrong on that?

        Thank you

        *edited for clarity

          Well it's a single person's subjective opinion. Read other opinions, and then form your opinion?

    • EssendonUser on 07/11/2023 - 23:38

      This laptop's display is one of the nicest I've seen. My second laptop, a Lenovo Yoga 7 amd with an IPS display, is subpar in comparison.

      It's well-made; some may find it a little thick, but it's quite light. Lenovo Yoga is slim, but I noticed a bend in the chassis when I held it with one hand, but you won't have to worry about that with Swift Go. I'm pleased with the comparable amount I paid during the Binglee sale at the end of June.

      The only drawback is the battery life, which is just 6-8 hours depending on usage, but this was expected.

      OLED displays share subpixels between full pixels, or have oddly shaped subpixels as opposed to an LCD display which has one rectangular subpixel of each primary colour for each full pixel.

      This can cause text to appear fuzzy which is obviously a problem on a computer OS, much less so when watching video or pictures. I believe OLED displays need about 30% higher resolution than LCD's to hide the negative effects of subpixel sharing and non-rectangular subpixels. More info for reference:

      https://www.pcworld.com/article/631720/pentile-displays-and-…

      That all being said, a 16" 2560x1600 display has 189ppi whereas a 14" 2880x1800 display has 243ppi (28.5% higher), so they should look about the same.

      100W TypeC adapter.

        could that be a 3.5 mm 1960's jack given everyone now uses wireless Bluetooth headphones?

    • tomsco on 08/11/2023 - 08:01

      Does Thunderbolt 4 (as listed in the specs) not provide PD by default?

  • paloverde88 on 08/11/2023 - 10:14

    at 999 it would sell like hot cakes but at 1199 - dimes and dozens think about it - low priority

  • benjaminf on 08/11/2023 - 10:51

    This machine is great, probably best display I've seen on a laptop. Unfortunately the wireless card doesn't play nice in Linux so far, might have to play around with backports to get it going

    • Drzueso on 09/11/2023 - 06:09

      Better than MacBook?

      • benjaminf on 09/11/2023 - 09:03

        I think it looks nicer, definitely doesn't feel the same quality as the Macbook display/hinge though

  • Arthur Dent on 10/11/2023 - 11:54

    Was this meant to expire so quickly? I got the impression it would run until Black Friday and maybe some of the retailers would have the same price. I'm regretting not pulling the trigger earlier now
