The Acer Swift Go 14 AI looks like it belongs in a college lecture hall -- quiet, polite, and likely watching Netflix in the background instead of paying attention. This Copilot+ laptop wants to be your next everything machine: work, school, and some streaming, all for under $800. Its battery life highlights a lot of what we like about the Snapdragon X-series laptops we’ve been seeing lately.
Specs and design
The Acer Swift 14 Go 14 AI has an unassuming look.

In the first part of this project, we showed you how to build an AI voice assistant on a Raspberry Pi using a combination of OpenvoiceOS and Ollama. But we're not done yet.
