Acer’s new Aspire Go 14 has clearly been designed to take the best elements from the Aspire 14 and place them into a more affordable and accessible model. Indeed, the similarities in style and design are so striking that it’s tricky to tell them apart from a first look. The lighter metallic grey finish of the Go is the first clue, but it’s specifications that really divide the two, justifying a clear price gap.

While the Aspire 14 range includes Intel’s new range of chips – either the Core 5 processor 120U or the Core 7 processor 150U – the Go 14 will ship with either the Core i3-N305 or AMD’s Ryzen 3 7320U. To confuse matters, Acer sent us an early sample with a Ryzen 5 7520U inside, but this specification won’t be sold in the UK.
