It's tough to argue with this laptop's value for money or battery life, but speed lovers should look elsewhere

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.
