Acer backs Intel Core Ultra launch with AI-powered Swift, Predator laptops

Acer is backing the launch of Intel's Core Ultra (Meteor Lake) processors with a pair of notebooks: the Acer Swift Go 14, for productivity, and the Predator Triton Neo 16 gaming/creator laptop. The Acer Swift Go 14 (SFG14-72/T) will ship in North America in January for $799.99, Both laptops will use Intel's Core Ultra-branded processors, part of the Meteor Lake mobile processor architecture that Intel has spoken at length about. The Acer Swift Go 14 also carries Intel's "Evo Edition" branding, which tweaks Intel's Evo certification slightly. Traditionally, Evo has signified Intel's premium laptop brand, in which Intel engineers and the PC maker share engineering resources and perform intensive testing. Acer will ship five Swift Go 14 configurations, beginning with the base model: 8GB of memory, plus 512GB of SSD storage, paired with a Core Ultra 5 125H.
