Acer Swift Go 14 OLED (2024)

The Acer Swift Go 14 OLED (2024) is the best budget laptop under £800 in the UK, offering a 14-inch 2.8K OLED screen, AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS processor, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD at just £749—£150 cheaper than the typical rival with similar specs. Its display achieves 100% DCI-P3 color accuracy, outperforming the average budget laptop's 72% NTSC coverage. However, build quality is a step below #6 ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED's aluminium chassis, with a plastic lid that costs 0.2 kg less at 1.4 kg total weight, though performance and screen quality remain uncompromised.
