The Acer TravelLite has recently debuted in India, featuring a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 Processor and a 49Wh battery. Now, the company has introduced a new ultralight laptop in China named the 'Extraordinary Go.' Like its predecessor, it is powered by a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor but includes faster charging capabilities and a larger battery. Let's explore the features of this new device.
A Lightweight Laptop with Various Performance Modes and 100W Adapter
Weighing only 1.49kg, this laptop includes a 58Wh battery and is accompanied by a 100W Gallium Nitride power adapter. As per the company, it can theoretically last for 8 hours on a single charge, though actual battery life may vary based on usage patterns.
When you open the lid, you'll find a 14-inch IPS display with a 16:10 wide aspect ratio. It offers Full HD resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. The panel also has a 45% NTSC color gamut rating, which might not be suitable for video or photo editing but is adequate for tasks that don't require precise color accuracy, like text-related work.

One standout feature is its 180-degree hinge, allowing the lid to open and close fully flat. Additionally, it includes a Full HD camera and a backlit keyboard.
The Extraordinary Go is powered by the 12th generation Intel Core i5-12450H processor, which has a 45W performance release. For cooling, it uses dual heat pipes and dual fans.
