CES 2018: Acer unveils the world's thinnest laptop

‪‪Acer Inc.‬, ‪The International Consumer Electronics Show‬‬

The race for finesse is a struggle between the different players in the market every year and at the CES 2018, the Acer Swift 7 definitely wins, with only 8.98 millimeters thickness.

It's almost the size of a smartphone. At 8.98 millimeters thick, the new Acer Swift 7, introduced on the eve of the opening of CES 2018 in Las Vegas now claims the world's thinnest laptop label. Its predecessor was already only 10 millimeters, but the brand seems to want to continue to take us to the infinitely small by beating its own record.

Acer Swift 7, Just the Thickness of a Smartphone.

Visual level, it offers a 14-inch screen definition Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), all protected by a metal frame. So where is the trap? With such dimensions, the brand has had to make concessions somewhere no? The components are rather upscale with a Intel Core i7 seventh generation with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage in SSD format.

On the other hand, exit the dedicated GPU and we also forget the standard USB ports and we pass on USB Type-C. It is actually for gamers that the device will quickly reach its limits. Suffice to say that for games too greedy, it will quickly forget.

The new Acer Swift 7 slightly improves the brand on the side of autonomy with a maximum of 10 hours, one more than its predecessor. However, we are still very far from the best models of the market at this level. On the plus side, 4G LTE connectivity is rather useful for mobile connectivity users. Finally, there is the surprising presence of a fingerprint reader that avoids you to go through the box of the password. Located on the left of the keyboard, it is likely to surprise at first. The PC will also support face detection via Windows Hello.

It will be possible to discover the laptop at CES 2018, if not appointment early April with a price that should be around 1800 €. Rather high. To see if the finesse is for you a decisive argument in your choice.
