This Acer Swift Go certified refurb stands out for strong specs at a low price, with the Core Ultra 7 155H, 16GB of LPDDR5 memory, 1TB SSD, and a touch IPS display drawing the most praise. Delivered units have been described as looking brand new, very clean, and light at about 3 pounds, with solid photo friendly screen quality and decent everyday performance. The main drawbacks are the refurb experience itself, including order cancellations, price changes, slow shipping, and spotty customer service. A few units also needed BIOS or SSD setup, and some arrived with issues like ghost touches, loud fans, or a dead battery, so it is best viewed as a strong spec sheet with some risk.

  • people who are okay taking a chance on a certified-refurb laptop order if it arrives in like-new condition, because one buyer said theirs came "like new," they just had to assign the SSD in BIOS after a "No bootable device" message, and a BIOS update fixed ghost touches.

  • buyers who care about a photo-friendly IPS screen and want a light, all-metal 14-inch laptop, because commenters said the IPS display was strong for photos and noted the 155H model's battery expectations (around 12 hours) with a very light ~3 lb build.

  • people who need the order to be honored at the advertised promo price, because multiple commenters reported Acer/eBay canceling orders after charging them (including one timeline where it was canceled the same day) and said the deal was "not a deal now."

  • buyers who can't tolerate slow or poor support/refund handling, because commenters said refunds/PayPal credit could take days and that customer service was bad after cancellations.

  • people who expect consistent build quality matching the specs, because one commenter said the internals looked good for the price but the build quality "will not match."

  • buyers who rely on the battery working immediately out of the box, because at least one unit arrived with a dead battery that wouldn't charge and only ran when plugged in.

Trash Acer cancelled my order and now will apparently take days to get back the paypal credit and balance that I used. Bad customer service, probably a bad laptop.
Out of curiosity, how do you use PayPal credit to pay for items purchased on eBay? I don't see an option anywhere to apply or use PayPal credit that I have

At the final checkout screen where you select payment method, ie. paypal balance, credit card, etc. it had my paypal credit as an option near the bottom, this was from the cash back promo around BF.

They raised the price from $414 to $475 now. A few days ago, before this 20% coupon was active, they had it for $414. See this post: https://slickdeals.net/f/18953284-acer-swift-go-cert-refurb-14-fhd-ips-touch-intel-ultra-7-155h-16gb...
It's funny how Ebay blatantly increases prices and offers discounts on top of them. I happened to track Roomba iRobot J7+ price through the watch list. When there is no Sale, it's price will be around $169 (or even $159), when a 20% coupon comes out, price goes up and the actual final price would be higher than regular price even after applying a 20% promo.

Of course depending on the item price, you may end up saving 2% to 5% with 20% coupon.

Ordered on Dec 15th at 10am ET for $303.99+taxes. Still hasn't shipped but not yet canceled. Reached out to them last night Dec 17th and they responded early this morning Dec 18th that it will be shipped within 2 days.

I will come back to update.

Update: Just received a Fedex tracking number.

Update #2: I just received the laptop yesterday in like new condition with Delta, not Acer, brand 100W USB power brick. Upon powering on, I received "No bootable device" so I went into BIOS and assigned SSD. Finally I got in. Then came the ghost touches at the bottom right of the screen so I updated the BIOS from version 1.3 to 1.9 instead.

The fan is somewhat loud just what most of the reviewers have mentioned. Fingerprint reader is embedded into the power button. Very light - about 3lbs.

Everything seems to be working just fine now.

How is Acer cert. refurb? Are they used, or more like open box? Anyone have any experience?
+ Good IPS display for photos, good cpu(M3), all metal design


- 155h 12hr battery vs 226v(155u) 18-24hr, less gpu, weak speakers vs Asus S14


Acer Certified is overall Gold with less than 10% issues.. Up there with Apple Cert. and Dell Outlet. Miles better than cheapo Dell Cert Refurb with 50% issue.


A Grade- comes in new condition with 100% battery health, oem charger with warranty.


B Grade Support- Shipping takes 2-14(black friday) days. High DOA charger failure, they discount $30-50 for your trouble


C Grade. 90% of time Acer ebay won't honor price mistake $300, instead $370. They will try low ball you.

its based on Acer ebay 100+ feedback and reviews. I personally ordered from them several times and would order again.


Letter grade condition just mean A+(99%) new mint, A(90%), B(80%)


Used cert refurbished seller commonly use % or Letter A in their listing.
I apply the same to support and shipping grade.

You can't even leave feedback for their shitty business practice.

And I bet negative feedback left will be scrubbed by ebay
