Harvey Norman? Yeah, nah.
Nicely imbalanced. But hey it's OLED and under 1k. Should have a rtx 4060 and become 1.2k
If it had the RTX GPU, you need an AC connected to the laptop or cook some chops due to it being a BBQ
Makes it perfect for those cold winters..doubles as a heater
Also not recommended if you want to be fertile
@vinni9284: I reckon you should go on a promotional campaign on how to save medical fees when you want to stop having kids
Nicely imbalanced.
Why is it imbalanced, plenty of users do not need a discrete GPU in a laptop, so makes sense to give them an option that saves the cost, weight and power.

Adding an RTX 4060 for $200? Don't think that's realistic given it's not just the cost of the GPU - you've also got to add the cooling, power delivery, larger AC brick…etc. to go with it.
It's an unusual CPU choice though..
Anyway the other non OLED Acer 5 laptop was for $1150 with a 4060 so I just gave that ball park figure. But even an extra 3 or 400 might just make it a nice all around packages laptop for multi use.
I wonder what use case having this CPU alone would be catered for. Surely it's not for video editing etc is it?Maybe for the last minute BYOD
The GPU won't handle the higher resolution on this laptop (even the Nitro 5) as it's higher than FHD. Many will game with a higher resolution causing it to fail & overheat due to thinness and smaller size.

How is it unusual? Plenty of notebooks in a similar form factor come with the 13700H or 1360P (they're really quite similar when in this sort of chassis).

They're different devices for different use cases. Some may want a GPU, some may want an OLED display.

Yes, but at a 40% price premium, you're talking about a different class of device, which will also require more cooling and power delivery, so will need a thicker chassis and more weight.
It's a different device for a different type of user.

There are plenty of use cases for computers outside of gaming and video editing. Plenty of statistical and engineering software packages are very heavily CPU dependent, e.g. doing number crunching in Python / R / MATLAB would be a good use case. Also very good for software development, especially if you're a VS user (which can be heavy on resources), the CPU horsepower will really help with code compile times, for instance and will generally make the IDE more responsive.
@p1 ama: Fair enough. Good to know. I would have though that in those cases the difference would have been marginal. But in all honesty I'm not too familiar with them.
Harvey Norman - Swift NO Go
Pretty sure it is 2.18kg as per the Harvey Norman listing
No way it's 2.2kg, that's the weight of the whole packaging + laptop. You'd be hard pressed to find a current 14" laptop that's that heavy. Did you see how thin it is?
1.25kg as per Acer website
https://www.harveynorman.com.au/acer-swift-go-14-inch-i7-137…
says 2.18 on Harvey norman website which is weird then
It'll be lb and not kg. 2 18lb ~ 1kg
Sold out
good deal, i'm waiting if there's another Ryzen 7 version goes on sale
