With all the<\/span> talk of \u201cAI laptops\u201d (and, well, AI everything<\/a>), it\u2019s natural to wonder how much these advancements will cost you. The first laptops to include Intel\u2019s new Core Ultra CPU and neural processing units, which help accelerate AI tasks, haven\u2019t been cheap, with some models like the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra<\/a> hitting as much as $3,000.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s good news though. The Acer Swift Go 14<\/a> (I tested the model SFG14-73T-75FA) is the least expensive Intel Core Ultra laptop I\u2019ve tested to date, and at just $800<\/a> it\u2019s the first to break the $1,000 barrier. Clearly, some sacrifices have been made to get there. The question is, are they dealbreakers?<\/p>\n

The new Swift Go covers the basics at least. Its 14-inch touchscreen at 1,920 X 1,200 pixels is about the bare minimum acceptable resolution<\/a> I\u2019d consider today. The screen is moderately bright, though there are plenty of more eye-searing laptops on the market. Processing is courtesy of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU\u2014a healthy step up from the pokier Core 5 entry-level chip. There’s 16 GB of RAM and a 1-TB solid state drive to back it up\u2014acceptable specs.<\/p>\n
