hey guys this is Austin and supposedly this is the world's thinnest laptop so this is the Acer Swift 7 so thinner is usually better right you don't see everyone walking around with the enormous laptops anymore however my question is how thin is too thin as this guy measures in it less than 10 millimeters thick so inside the box we get Oh fit work perfect huh that is a that's a thin laptop all right if first things it doesn't seem crazy so we have a couple ports on the side we'll get to that in just one second a USBC USB adapter in the box how thoughtful we also have a USB C to HDMI adapter include in the box and the power cable is also USB see behind guests yet this laptop has only USB C ports although this is a little bit big for us PC charger so that's one of the downsides to having something that's so thin and like I said with all the other USB C devices this year such as the Mac books well it's a great connector it's absolutely the future it's difficult to get by with no standard USB ports today that is a nice looking laptop so side by side with the current generation 12-inch MacBook it is a fair bit thicker so you're seeing there's a lot bigger of a taper here now this is not exactly super thick laptop any means but this is definitely thinner and something you won't find on the 12-inch MacBook are two USB C port switch the Swift has so at the very least you can plug in something like an external drive and also charge a laptop at the same time you know like any laptop ever should be able to do I do like the finish as a laptop but it gets really fingerprinted very quickly I haven't even turned it on and yet it's completely coated already open up the Swift 7 and you will find the 13.3 inch 1080p IPS display now it might not be quite as high resolution as I'd like it's a really nice looking panel something you won't find is a touchscreen so no matter how much I touch the gorilla glass display nothing happens and that's kind of a disappointment at this point if you're going to get any kind of reasonably high-end Windows 10 laptop I feel like a touchscreen should be part of the bargain this keyboard is not bad so a lot of times when you have very very thin laptops one of the first things that gets sacrificed is the actual keyboard travel it's very shallow it's very clicky this is a surprisingly good keyboard there's very little sort of flex in it and I feel like I could pretty much immediately get up to speed on this guy the trackpad is also not bad so even that's a little bit of a weird shape with it being very wide not so tall the accuracy is nice we have things like multi-touch gestures I can swipe to go back and that's one of the things that's really kind of immediately jumping out to me about the sweat 7 even though it's a super thin laptop Acer didn't compromise on the essentials right so the screen is solid keyboard surprisingly good eating the tripod it's completely usable letting folks running the headset off of the built-in speakers are also decent so unlike most laptops especially these days they're actually firing downward which means that this sound is not quite as clear as it could be but for something that's this then it gets a pass something you won't find around back or in events as this is a fully fanless laptop now that's not exactly something brand new however a lot of times you're going to end up sacrificing performance and with this we're getting a slightly lower spec CPU inside we have the latest seventh generation Intel Core i5 processors based on KB Lake so let's Foley up to date however these are the same processors that used to be called Core M essentially what that means is in return for that fanless design it's a much lower watt part around four and a half watts give you some perspective on that most smartphones are not too far south of that paired with a gigabytes of memory this is going to be fine for light to moderate tasks however when you get into heavier lifting such as photo and video editing expect things to slow down this is not a workstation in theory though we should be able to do some light gaming such as csgo so this is 720p on medium and it's not bad um it's not the smoothest experience in the world so we're bottoming out around the mid 30s on the frame rate but for a bit of gaming's it's not bad at all so you Armand I wish all gaming could just be played against easy bots on csgo I shouldn't play with real people it's a bad idea a few moments late yeah okay so I pressured Crouch right that's not a good idea oh come on that was actually pretty close that was pretty close rhymed there was a solid uh eight and twenty for the switch seven is a legitimately cool laptop whoever you're paying a price for that not only are you losing for it so you know you get dongles in the box more importantly it's expensive around eleven hundred dollars you can pick up other laptops that are very similarly equipped that have actual USB ports an HDMI ports they're gonna cost you a couple hundred dollars less this is not a bad laptop but you really are paying a premium for those extra few millimeters of thickness so what do you guys think I'm Pub the world's thinnest laptop deadly be sure to let me know what you think in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
