Acer Swift 7

The Swift 7 is one of Acer’s slimmest notebooks ever made with an approximate thinness of 8.98mm – that’s about the thickness of your average post-Internet pulp magazine. While it is amazingly slim, it also proves to be rather capable as well with a raft of specs to tackle most papercrunching duties

You have a 14-inch Full HD 16:9 aspect ratio IPS display, an Intel Core i7-7Y75 processor running Windows 10 Home, 8GB DDR3 RAM and a 256GB NVMe PCie SSD. Other mod-cons include a backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi n/ac, stereo speakers with Dolby Audio Premium tech and a fingerprint reader. The built in 2-cell 35.2 Wh battery offers up about 10 hours of battery life. Of note is that it also has a nano SIM slot for 4G so you needn’t have to rely solely on Wi-Fi tethering. The Swift 7 retails for RM6,399 and buyers get a free protective sleeve, a USB Type C to HDMI adapter and a USB Type A adaptor bundled in the box. The Swift 7 is available nationwide at all Acer Official Online stores and resellers nationwide.

Acer Switch 7 Black Edition

Also designed for business oriented duties, the Acer Switch 7 Black Edition is an ultraportable convertible with a similar form factor to Microsoft’s Surface Pro rigs in the form of a detachable keyboard and a flip-out kickstand on the back.

On the hardware front, the Switch 7 Black Edition integrates a 13.5-inch IPS TFT LCD touchscreen with 2,256 x 1,504 pixel resolution, an Intel Core i7-8550U 1.8GHz processor, 16GB DDR3 RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce MX150 GPU with 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM and a 512GB SSD.
