this notebook is a serious contender to the MacBook Air. The new Swift Go’s specs are impressive. Available in two models, both of which come with OLED display screens the Swift Go 16 has a

16-inch 16:10 3.2K OLED display and a 120Hz refresh rate, while the Swift Go 14 has a 14-inch 16:10 2.8K OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The devices are powered by the new Intel

webcams with Temporal Noise Reduction technology to improve low light performance and PurifiedVoice with AI noise reduction. Built into this notebook are several ports including USB-C with
