== Primary Hardware ==
{{CheckAI}}
=== [[Central Processing Unit (CPU)|Processor]] ===
The Acer Aspire Go 14 (2024) can be configured with the following processors:
* [[Intel Core i3-N305]] with a base frequency of 1.80 GHz and a turbo frequency of up to 3.80 GHz.<ref name="specs" />
* [[AMD Ryzen 3 7320U]] with four cores and eight threads, part of the AMD Ryzen 7000 series.<ref name="cnet" />
 
The Intel Core i3-N305 is designed for basic tasks and provides adequate performance for everyday use. The AMD Ryzen 3 7320U, on the other hand, offers slightly better performance, allowing the laptop to handle multiple browser tabs and basic applications smoothly. However, neither processor is intended for intensive tasks such as media editing or heavy database work.<ref name="cnet" />
 
'''Benchmarks''':
* AMD Ryzen 3 7320U:
** Geekbench 6 (multicore): 3,857
** Cinebench R23 (multicore): 4,831
** PCMark 10 Pro Edition: 4,113<ref name="cnet" />
 
=== [[Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)|Graphics]] ===
The Acer Aspire Go 14 is equipped with integrated graphics options:
* [[Onboard Graphics]] for the Intel configuration.<ref name="specs" />
* [[AMD Radeon Graphics]] for the AMD configuration.<ref name="cnet" />
 
The integrated graphics are suitable for basic graphical tasks such as video streaming and light gaming. However, they are not designed for intensive gaming or graphic design, and users should not expect high frame rates in modern games.<ref name="cnet" />
 
'''Benchmarks''':
* AMD Radeon Graphics:
** 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited: 715<ref name="cnet" />
 
=== [[Random Access Memory (RAM)|Memory]] ===
The Acer Aspire Go 14 comes with 8 GB of soldered LPDDR5 5500MHz RAM. This memory configuration is adequate for basic multitasking and everyday applications. However, the RAM is not upgradeable due to its soldered nature, which may limit the laptop's ability to handle more demanding tasks or multiple applications running simultaneously.<ref name="cnet" />
 
=== [[Storage]] ===
The laptop is available with either a 128 GB or 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD. The 128 GB SSD is considered limited for a Windows laptop, as it can fill up quickly with the installation of Windows and essential applications. The 512 GB option provides more space but may still be insufficient for users with extensive storage needs.<ref name="specs" /><ref name="cnet" />
 
== Input Devices ==
{{CheckAI}}
=== [[Keyboard]] ===
The Acer Aspire Go 14 features a standard keyboard with a "clacky" sound and a louder-than-usual key response. The keys feel snappy and firm, providing a satisfactory typing experience for everyday tasks. However, the sound may be distracting to some users.<ref name="cnet" />
 
=== [[Touchpad]] ===
The touchpad on the Acer Aspire Go 14 is described as undersized but functional. It supports basic gestures and is responsive, though its size may be a limitation for users who prefer larger touchpads. Precise movements may require more effort due to the touchpad's compact dimensions.<ref name="cnet" />
 
=== [[Webcam]] ===
The laptop is equipped with a 720p webcam, which is standard for budget laptops. The webcam's image quality is described as grainy and lacking clarity, making it adequate for basic video conferencing but not suitable for professional use.<ref name="cnet" />
 
=== [[Microphone]] ===
The Acer Aspire Go 14 includes an integrated microphone with PurifiedVoice AI Noise Reduction technology. The microphone effectively isolates voice and reduces background noise, making it suitable for video calls and communication in various settings.<ref name="cnet" />
 
== Output Devices ==
{{CheckAI}}
=== [[Display]] ===
The Acer Aspire Go 14 features a 14-inch TN display with a resolution of 1920x1200 and a modern 16:10 aspect ratio. The display has a peak brightness of 310 nits, which is decent for a budget laptop. However, the TN technology results in poor viewing angles and low color accuracy, covering only 64% of the sRGB gamut. The display requires precise positioning for optimal viewing, as the poor viewing angles can lead to a washed-out appearance.<ref name="cnet" />
 
=== [[Audio]] ===
The laptop's integrated speakers are described as underwhelming, with a lack of depth and clarity. The sound quality is poor, necessitating the use of external speakers or headphones for better audio. The speakers are not suitable for media consumption or music.<ref name="cnet" />
 
== Connectivity ==
{{CheckAI}}
=== [[WiFi]] ===
The Acer Aspire Go 14 supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1, providing faster and more reliable wireless connections. The wireless performance is reliable, offering good connectivity for online tasks, and Wi-Fi 6 ensures better performance in crowded networks.<ref name="cnet" />
 
=== [[USB]] ===
The laptop includes a variety of ports, including:
* 1 x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2
* 2 x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1
* 1 x HDMI 2.1
* 1 x combo audio jack<ref name="cnet" />
 
The USB-C port offers a 10Gbps connection, which is slower compared to newer standards, potentially limiting external storage options. However, the inclusion of multiple USB ports is beneficial for connecting peripherals.<ref name="cnet" />
 
=== Display Outputs ===
The Acer Aspire Go 14 features an HDMI 2.1 output for connecting to external displays, allowing for easy connection to monitors and TVs. This enhances usability for presentations or extended displays.<ref name="cnet" />
 
== Case ==
{{CheckAI}}
The Acer Aspire Go 14 has a firm and compact all-plastic chassis, which feels sturdy for its price point. The design is functional and acceptable for the price, weighing 1.75 kg (3.2 pounds). The build quality is decent, making it suitable for everyday use.<ref name="cnet" />
 
== Maintenance ==
