Acer Swift 7 Will be Lighter in 2019

Acer announced the launch of Acer Swift 7 at CES 2019, which promises smaller equipment than the incredible ultra-thin notebooks of last year.

The Acer Ultimate Ultrabook for 2019 weighs only 9.95 mm (0.39 in) and weighs only 890 g (1.96 lb), making it the "smalest notebook in the world."

The smaller chassis allows the Acer Swift 7 to shrink the bezel this year, achieving a 92% screen-to-body ratio. The display itself is a full HD 1920 x 1080-pixel panel with 100% sRGB color gamut.

Since the new Acer Swift 7 is made of magnesium-lithium and magnesium-aluminum alloys, focusing on making such a thin and light notebook is not at the expense of durability. Acer claims that these materials are two to four times harder than ordinary aluminum and weigh 35% lighter.

Acer Swift 7 is not without drawbacks in 2018 because it removes the click feature from the touchpad and uses Intel's 7th generation fanless processor. Acer is addressing these issues, including the eighth-generation Intel Amber Lake fanless processor, similar to the processor on the 2018 MacBook Air.

Acer said that the Swift 7 processor can achieve 10 hours of battery life. And, when paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, Acer Swift 7 will provide "top performance for web browsing" and "productivity for presentations and spreadsheets." Acer also claims that it can handle creative tools, but this may be limited to some Photoshop jobs. Finally, a physical click mechanism is integrated into the Swift 7 touchpad.

Acer Swift 7 hopes to attract luxury users like Apple's MacBook, and will sell it in May for $1,699 in the US and April, Europe for €1,799.

The latest laptop we have seen this year are characterized by light weight and easy to carry. At the same time, we never lower the standard in all parts of the laptop. We will have more expectations for the accessories of laptop in 2019.
