he ready for 2016 aces showing off to new extremely thin laptops thin really is the theme here so let's take a look at what's new first up is the ace of Swift 7 now this thing is extremely thin picking it up you can really feel that it's so light and it's so slender it weighs just one point one kilogram so it really is one of the most portable machines I've ever seen a consequence of being so thin is that this thing has barely any ports there's no USB there's no HDMI what you do get is some USB type-c and a headphone jack that's basically it so if you do a lot of connecting peripherals maybe this isn't the laptop for you but if you think you can pair down the things you need to plug in it might work it's going on sale in October and it's gonna cost 12 9 9 euros moving on to the next machine this is the Asus pin 7 now as the name suggests you can flip this thing around and it's a convertible so if you want you can walk around with it like a very expensive clipboard now Acer says this is the world's thinnest convertible and it certainly does feel very slim it weighs 1.2 kilograms so again another very portable machine it's a 14 inch display and ASA was particularly keen to point out this extremely thin bezel but the Swift 7 is also gonna cost 12 9 9 euros when it goes on sale one thing I'd like to point out about both machines is that they've got absolutely enormous trackpads I think that's pretty interesting and it could make them a lot more usable than some laptops so I'd like to see more of that that's all for now for much more checkout cnet.com Sascha
