Thin is what desired when it comes to gadget like smartphones, tablets and laptops. So far Apple Macbooks were considered the slimmest laptops available but Acer has just announced a notebook Acer Swift 7 at the IFA 2016 in Berlin that is less than 10 mm in thickness and weighs just 1.1 kg.
Acer Swift 7 comes with an all-aluminum uni-body, 13.3-inch Full HD IPS display with 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution, a micro-bezel and comes with Corning Gorilla Glass protection as well. It is powered by the 7th Generation Intel Core i5 processor and comes with 8GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
It runs on the Windows 10 OS. And on the connectivity side, Acer Swift 7 sports two USB Type-C ports on-board and an HDR-enabled webcam.
Since the Acer Swift 7 is so thin, it needed to feature a fanless design. So, it uses Kaby lake chipset to make it possible. When it comes to battery life, Acer Swift 7 is claimed to provide up to 9 hours of battery life.
Acer Swift 7 notebook will be available in China in September itself with prices starting at ¥6,999. In North America and EMEA region it will be available in October and the starting price of Acer Swift 7 will be $999 and €1,299 respectively.
