Acer unveils thin and light Swift 7 with compact design
By MYBRANDBOOK
Acer has announced the incredibly thin and light Swift 7 with a new premium chassis that liberates the display. Its ultra-narrow bezels make it virtually borderless, giving the 14-inch Swift 7 an impressive 92-per cent screen-to-body ratio. Powered by Windows 10, it is feather-light too, meaning travelling professionals who carry a notebook through the day will rejoice at its weight of just 890 grams, giving the Swift 7 an almost weightless feel when carrying it in a briefcase or small bag.
Jerry Hou, General Manager, Consumer Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer, says, “The Acer Swift 7 strikes a balance between art and technology, and in doing so pushes ultra-portable PC design to new territories. With a striking screen-to-body ratio of an incredible 92 per cent, Acer customers can stay more productive with a compact, thinner and lighter notebook that feels ‘barely there’ while carrying it around through the day and during business travel.”
The redesigned Swift 7 fits the latest tech into a chassis that is significantly smaller than its predecessor. It has a four-side narrow bezel design with bezels measuring just 2.57mm, dramatically reducing the width and depth of the notebook to just 317.9mm W x 191.5mm D (12.51 W x 7.53 D inches) for an immersive, almost full screen display. Like its predecessors, the Swift 7 (SF714-52T) remains incredibly thin and light, measuring under 1cm thin at 9.95mm (0.39 inches) and weighing less than 1kg at just 890 grams (1.96 pounds).
The Swift 7 is incredibly thin and lightweight, yet durable. Designed for portability, it’s made with magnesium-lithium and magnesium-aluminum alloys. These materials are two to four times stronger than standard aluminum alloys at the same thickness, yet are up to 20- to 35- per cent lighter to keep the laptop under 1 kg. In addition, Acer applied a micro-arc oxidation finish to create a surface with an elegant, ceramic-like material.
The 14-inch Full HD 1920x1080 touch display with IPS technology allows smooth touch interactions and presents vibrant and crystal-clear images. Featuring a 100% sRGB/72% NTSC colour gamut and 300 nits of brightness, the Swift 7 brings immersive experiences through its advanced display. Plus, it is extra durable, thanks to a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 6.
The Swift 7 is powered by the latest 8th-Gen Intel Core i7-8500Y processor to deliver top-notch performance for web browsing, productivity with presentations and spreadsheets, and even using compute intensive creator tools while enabling a fanless design. With up to 512GB of fast PCIe SSD storage, a large amount of files can be stored and quickly accessed, and with up to 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM, customers can multitask smoothly. And with 10 hours of battery life, customers can use their Swift 7 well into the evening.
Customers can accomplish more using the two USB Type-C ports supporting Thunderbolt 3 for high bandwidth speeds up to 40 Gbps while also delivering system power and connecting to any display, as well as USB 3.1 Gen 2. The Display Port 1.2 provides fast data transfers at up to 10Gbps and supports high-resolution external displays and speedy charging of external devices. Staying connected with the Acer Swift 7 is reliable and super-fast with Intel Wireless-AC delivering Wi-Fi 5 capable of Gigabit speed and featuring 2x2 MU-MIMO technology. Peripherals can also be connected via Bluetooth 5.0, while the combo headphone and speaker jack ensures clear and crisp audio.
