Acer has updated its Swift Go 16 laptop with a new processor and graphics configuration that significantly boosts performance for users who need more power in a thin chassis. This change matters because the new Arc B390 integrated graphics deliver double the GPU performance of previous Swift Go 16 models, making the device more viable for light gaming and creative work. Buyers who previously found the laptop too slow for graphics-heavy tasks may now find it suitable for their needs.

New laptop configuration doubles integrated graphics performance

The new Swift Go 16 configuration features the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor paired with the Intel Arc B390 integrated GPU. This setup replaces older graphics options with a more capable solution that handles modern workloads better. The laptop retains the 16-inch OLED display that offers an 1800p resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. The screen also reaches 500 nits of peak brightness, which helps readability in bright environments.

Swift Go 16 Arc B390 Specifications

  • Display: 16-inch OLED, 1800p, 120 Hz, 500 nits peak brightness
  • Memory: 32 GB RAM
  • Graphics: Intel Arc B390 iGPU
  • Processor: Intel Core Ultra X7 358H
  • Battery: 70 Wh, supports 100 W charging

Memory and storage upgrades accompany the new processor. This specific SKU includes 32 GB of RAM, which provides ample headroom for multitasking and demanding applications. The system also comes with a 1 TB SSD for fast storage access. Power comes from a 70 Wh battery that supports 100 W charging, allowing for relatively quick top-ups when the battery runs low.

Pricing for this upgraded model starts at SGD 3,299 in Singapore, which is around $2,603. In Hong Kong, the price is HKD 15,398, or around $1,964. These prices represent an increase of over 30% compared to previous Swift Go 16 configurations. The new model is currently available in Hong Kong and Singapore, but it is unclear if Acer will offer this configuration in Europe.

We touched on Acer A543 tablet launches with Intel in our earlier Acer coverage. The US Best Buy listing for the Swift Go 16 appears to be a mislabeled Swift 16 model, so buyers should verify the exact model name before purchasing. The Arc B390-powered Swift Go 16 is now a confirmed option for users in Asia looking for a high-refresh OLED laptop with strong integrated graphics.
