I just bought this for my skinny 10 year old nephew, who hasn't even hit 70 pounds yet, and he's been running all over the house with it.

Maybe buy a weight set?

Community Reviews

This certified refurb Acer Swift Go stands out as a well built 14 inch laptop with a touch IPS display, mostly aluminum construction, and strong specs for the price. The 155H chip, 16GB of RAM, and extra SSD slot make it feel fast and flexible for everyday work, and Linux Mint reportedly works out of the box. The main cautions are recurring refurb quality issues, including dead batteries, smudges, and occasional boot or charger problems, along with fan noise under heavier use. The missing right Ctrl key remapped to Copilot is another keyboard quirk to check. A solid compact option if the unit arrives in good shape.

  • home users who want strong battery efficiency on the 155H model because a commenter reported real-world battery life like ~14 hr web and ~10 hr web (and ~14 hr video) on 155H, with the 155H described as more efficient and mostly silent compared with the 226V.

    FairCable4794poorgrad

  • buyers who are okay with refurb risk and want an easy return path because multiple commenters said Acer returns were easy, and they'd try the deal as long as they get a good unit.

    EfficientAlpaca712OrangeJulius

  • office web and PDF users who want a quiet 14" laptop for the money because one commenter said the fan noise is quite and it only comes on during heavy installation work, while office browsing and PDFs are fine.

    yas070

  • people who want a 14" laptop with upgrade flexibility because one commenter noted there's a second SSD slot on the 14-inch model.

    CG5580

  • Linux Mint users because one commenter said Linux Mint works out of the box on this laptop (only the touchpad Swift logo lighting was unresolved).

    poorgrad

  • buyers who need a guaranteed refurb condition because some commenters received units with serious refurb issues like a dead battery that wouldn't charge or a laptop that only worked ~3 hours before dying, and in at least one case Acer wouldn't replace it.

    EfficientAlpaca712BryanB2973

  • people who can't tolerate fan noise because multiple commenters reported the fan is not quiet (even if some said it can be improved), and one person canceled their order after researching fan noise.

    EfficientAlpaca712o2cats

  • touch typists or left-handed users who rely on the right Ctrl key because a commenter warned the right Ctrl key is missing and is mapped to Copilot AI by default, and they said it's "total crap" unless you can successfully remap it (not guaranteed).

    xcopy

  • anyone who plans to upgrade RAM later because the RAM is soldered to the motherboard on this model, so it can't be upgraded.

    wikipost

  • buyers who want the seller to cover all return shipping because one commenter said return postage is buyer-responsible, making the "just return it" safety net less attractive.

Just bought this a month ago for $420. Does ebay/Acer price match? Or do I need to buy this and return the other one?

I bought one of these last time they popped up on here. Had a dead battery that wouldn't charge and wasn't super quiet but it seemed like a very well built little laptop other than that. Acer was easy to deal with on the return. If you need a 14" laptop this is probably hard to beat at ~$400 assuming you get a good one.

You'll probabky have to return it. You can contact the seller and there are partial refund options built into eBay (I've sold on eBay for over 10 years) but I've never seen a larger store based seller use that method, just returns.

I'd definitely give it a try however. Acer support may be receptive if you provide your old order number, and demonstrate the new price.

As to this deal, it's a good price for well rounded specs. Not a killer deal like that briefly available Omnibook X 14" Ryzen AI 7 350 / 24GB RAM / 1TB SSD at Best Buy for $340, but deals like that are rare and must be jumped on quickly.

Love to see Thunderbolt... Should be the norm nowadays.

Especially with eGPUs being so prevalent nowadays.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Looks great, but pay attention to the missing Right ctrl key. It's default functionality is now Copilot AI, which is total crap if you're a touch typist, and/or left handed.

MS paid Dell, Acer, etc to destroy the keyboard and promote CoPilot, so check and see if you can remap the key back to Ctrl with MS PowerToys. I was able to do it on a new Dell, but apparently not every company/computer works the same way and many have had trouble.

The price appears to be quite competitive for these specifications. Are there any concerns I should be aware of before purchasing this laptop?

I just bought one, delivery shcheduled for January 12th. I figured I could always return it, but buyer responsible for return postage, so I hope I like it. I was watching a couple others that either went out of stock, or the price increased, which pushed me over the edge.

The listing says "Seller pays return shipping". 2-yr warranty (through Allstate), specs, and build quality (mostly aluminum) are hard to find at this price point. Great deal if the unit comes in like-new condition and zero issue.

Lots and lots of Acer refurbs lately, this is the 3rd or 4th deal that I have noticed in the last month or so. Makes me curious as to why so many, unless Acer has been stockpiling them for some reason....

THAT being said, I have purchased a refurb Asus Nitro from ebay store before and no issues.

Bought one last time. Arrived with a dead battery. Over the laptop was heavy and felt like a tank. I didn't like the build. Return was easy but took over a month to get my money refunded. I have better luck with Best Buy open boxes.

This was $380 over Black Friday after the 20% promo coupon ebay ran. Originally they posted it at $380, minus the 20% came out to $304. Got one, Acer cancelled my order because they wanted a bigger cut of the promo. They raised it to be $475 so it came out to $380 after the 20% coupon.
