The Acer Swift 7 dives below the 10mm mark

2016-11-02
one computer trend I can get enthusiastically on board with is a recent run-in ultra ultra thin laptops ones that get down to 10 millimeters or even less the acer Swift 7 is a new king of that very slender hill coming in just a hair thinner than its main competition this 13 inch Windows laptop is just nine point nine eight millimeters thick while the very similar HP Spectre is ten point four millimeters although you be hard-pressed to really see a difference between them the 13-inch Swift seven is actually thinner than some of the new 12.5 inch screen laptops the acer zenbook three is eleven point nine millimeters even the 12 inch macbook is 13.1 millimeters it's far from the thinnest out there and what about the granddaddy of thin laptops the macbook air what's a monster compared with these that a whopping 18 millimeters thick all of these super slim Windows laptops get that way in part because of what they leave out all are locked to relatively unimpressive 1920 x 1080 resolution displays and all lack of touchscreen which allows their bodies to be thinner the Swift seven looks great and every time I pulled it out people wanted to see what it was the touchpad is extra wide which is nice but keep in mind like most super slim laptops the only port you get our USB seaports now I can live without a touch screen or high resolution but two things bugged me about this otherwise impressive laptop the tiny keyboard keys didn't really have that tight premium film looking for and the new processor a low Power Core i5 from Intel's latest 7th generation of core series chips what's been on the pokey side although it's certainly fast enough for everyday computing streaming and web surfing you
