Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Swift Go SFG16-71-55H7
With its thin anthracite design and lightweight unibody aluminum, this versatile laptop sports a sleek and discreet appearance.
This Ultrabook incorporates a good connectivity including no less than 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 (against 1 maximum usually), Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect to a TV for example, an audio port and 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if connected USB 3.0 devices.
As a fingerprint reader is integrated, you can authenticate by biometric recognition through Windows Hello technology.
The chiclet keyboard can be backlit which is very convenient to better distinguish its keys in case of limited ambient light.
Thanks to its sRGB and IPS specifications the screen displays more faithful colors than average with large viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically. In addition, the screen stands out for its 16/10th format displaying more information in height than the classic 16/9th. Anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable than a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny slab while being more restful for the eyes over a long period. In addition, due to its Full HD definition, the screen is suitable for High Definition content.
Performance, autonomy of the Acer Swift Go SFG16-71-55H7
The Acer Swift Go SFG16-71-55H7 is a thin and light laptop in a comfortable form factor intended for everyday versatile use.
Many users will be satisfied with the overall performance delivered by this thin and light all-rounder laptop. Because it is equipped with 16 GB of RAM and a low-power hybrid processor Core i5-1335U Intel Raptor Lake.
Thanks to the Iris Xe graphics solution housed in the Core i5 you can watch photos and videos but also indulge in modest games while this Ultrabook does not include a dedicated graphics card.
This core is also suitable for multimedia content processing using RAM and multi-cores, such as photo editing or video encoding.
However, it is better to turn instead to a PC with an appropriate dedicated graphics card and / or a non-low-power processor if you plan to often perform work that requires graphics resources and / or processor.
In any case, storage is obviously entrusted to an SSD because it is less energy-intensive than a hard drive but also more robust, silent and much faster.
As a result, the SSD guarantees a much better fluidity and responsiveness to use than a simple hard disk. Thanks to the SSD we benefit in particular from faster start/stops, processing and application launches or a faster arrival on the maps of online games.
It is a 512 GB SSD that is integrated here, capacity similar to what hard drives offer as standard. However, in the event that additional space is needed, it is obviously possible to use an external storage unit. Choosing a USB 3.0/USB-C/Thunderbolt device is an advantageous option for fast transfers.
As for autonomy pending more complete tests, count on about 7 hours of operation on battery in light use for this versatile Ultrabook whose transport is facilitated by the thinness and controlled weight while its comfortable 16-inch format is not the most nomadic there is.
