Chassis, connectivity, screen of the Acer Swift Go SFG16-72-72LZ

Cooled by TwinAir technology using 2 fans, 2 copper heat pipes and air vents, this 180° fully flat opening Ultrabook with a thin and light dark silver aluminum design has an elegant and discreet look.

This laptop has good connectivity including 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 (compared to 1 maximum usually), Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, a practical HDMI video output for easy connection to a TV for example, an audio port but also 2 USB 3.0 (compatible with USB 2.0) ensuring transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 peripherals are connected to it.

Since a fingerprint reader is integrated, biometric authentication is possible via the Windows Hello feature.

The chiclet keyboard obviously has a backlighting solution that you just need to activate to make its keys clearly visible.

The High Definition High Fidelity screen is a major asset of this configuration and will delight demanding users in this area.
Its 3.2K definition, significantly higher than Full HD – and while many models offer a 2.5K panel in comparison – is associated with a 16/10 format displaying more information on the height than the classic 16/9.
In addition, the screen benefits from DCI-P3 OLED characteristics inducing a colorimetric accuracy much higher than average with a great depth of blacks, large viewing angles both horizontally and vertically. As well as minimal latency here coupled with a refresh rate of 120Hz which clearly reinforces the general fluidity compared to a standard 60Hz panel.
OLED involves a brilliant treatment which revives the colours but is sensitive to reflections in bright environments (e.g. outdoors).
