Acer Swift 7 Makes a Surprising Debut in Malaysia
If you’re someone with an active lifestyle, constantly on-the-go in your professional life, then this laptop might be the one for you. The Acer Swift 7 had a surprise reveal during the Predator launch and roadshow at Sunway Pyramid, and it’s a very fine piece of machinery.
For starters, the Acer Swift 7 is a very portable laptop even by ultrabook standards. It weighs a mere 890g and is only 10mm thin. Its fanless design will also make it a very quiet machine to work on in any given scenario. It packs a surprising amount of power still as it’s powered by the 8th Gen Intel Core CPU with 8GB LPDDR3 RAM and up to 512GB NVMe SSD.
The Acer Swift 7 has a 14-inch Full HD IPS display with 100% sRGB and 92% screen-to-body ration, which allows it to show vivid and accurate colours and is generally a joy to look at. For added touch of versatility, it is a touchscreen display so it’s still convenient to use even without a mouse. For the sake of protection, the display utilizes Corning Gorilla Glass 6 but the touchpad has Gorilla Glass 3.
Interestingly, the Acer Swift 7 has two USB Type-C Gen 2 ports for fast transfer speeds, and Gigabit Wi-Fi with 2×2 MU-MIMO technology. It is said to have up to 12 hours of battery life, which is amazing and also very convenient if you can’t be around a wall socket often. Of course, we’d like to test this claim ourselves to see how true it is.
