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?

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.

Common Questions (5)

  • The 14-inch Swift Go is described as solid, sturdy, and mostly aluminum, with a lid that feels relatively sturdy. It is also reported as heavier and more tank-like than expected, so the build feels substantial rather than ultra-light.

  • The 155H model can run noticeably louder under load, especially during installs or heavier tasks, but it stays quiet for office work, web browsing, and PDFs. Acer apps may reduce the noise somewhat, and there is an FN+F mode to switch between silence and normal fan behavior.

    CG5580EfficientAlpaca712yas070o2cats

  • Several units arrived with a dead battery or would not power on until charged, and one report says the included charger was 65W even though Acer's specs list 100W. A $30 refund was reportedly enough to buy a replacement charger instead of returning the laptop.

    EfficientAlpaca712Ybdripoorgradpoorgrad

  • No. The memory is soldered to the motherboard, so RAM upgrades are not possible on this model.

    wikipost

  • Yes. Linux Mint reportedly works out of the box, with the remaining unresolved item being control of the illuminated Swift logo on the touchpad.

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.
How's the keyboard, does the lid wobble or is it sturdy (enough)? Thanks

The $300 Aspire 226v with matte display is much better. Stable intel wifi, two panel metal

Keyboard is not that tactile. The lid is relatively sturdy. Speaking of sturdy, the 14 inch one has very solid feel but not too heavy. There is a second ssd slot. The fan noise is higher, you can press fn+f to set to silence or normal mode.

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.
Could be because of defective SSD, or not cooling properly. I bought an acer refurb that had a bad replaceable memory card. I replaced it with one I had on hand, and it worked fine afterward.

Keyboard was good to me and the lid was sturdy. Other than the fan not being quiet, which I have heard you can fix somewhat by getting rid of acer apps, it seemed very solid. Would have kept it if the battery would have charged.

After reseaching fan noise, I put in my request for cancel the order I placed yesterday. If it still comes I will test it, but I don't think it is worht the hassle. Someone suggested the Acer Aspire with the Ultra 5 226V, and although that, or the Ultra 5 225u, are the two processors I was originally targeting, I was looking for a higher build quality, like the Swift Go.

Any suggestions?

Nope fan noise is quite I don't know why people mentioned it. Yes it does come on when I was heavy usage during installation but for office web and pdf nothing.

For me it a fantastic laptop for what I paid after taxes $348. Only regret I wish I got two

Link?
226v has fewer threads.. So multi core is slower while single core is faster

Horrible company, ebay and acer. Bought from Acer for BF deal. Had to wait over a month for them to even ship, when it arrived it worked for about 3 hours total before it died. Acer won't replace it. Never buy Acer.
