With every OEM trying to win the ‘thinnest lightest’ laptop war it looks like Acer has won the battle at least temporarily with it’s brand new Swift 7. With the Dell XPS, HP’s Spectre and the MacBook Air and others constantly vying for the crown of the ultimate ultrabook, we wonder how long Acer will hold on to the title.
However, right now if you’re looking for thinnest laptop there is, the very pretty but nonetheless feature packed ultraportable notebook, then the Acer Swift is the one to go for
The battle for barely there computing supremacy continues unabated. Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen PC makers brag about releasing the lightest 13-inch laptop ever, the most svelte MacBook ever, and the thinnest notebook of all time (though that last one apparently overlooked 2009’s Dell Adamo). Today, Acer launched the Swift 7, the newest usurper of the “thinnest laptop ever” crown.
The Swift 7 measures in at a scant 9.9mm thick, compared to 10.4mm for the HP Spectre 13.3, and 10.16mm for the aforementioned Dell Adamo. You could slice cheese with these things. The MacBook 12, meanwhile, clocks in at a comparatively chunky (ha!) 13.2mm thick.
