The 15in Acer Swift 5 is a promising 8th-gen laptop for the tail end of 2018. Its superbly light build, excellent screen and top end specs make it an attractive option. And from €1,099 it's a price to truly rival Dell, Apple and Asus' ultrabooks.But we ma...
The Acer Swift 5 is incredibly light, but it's sacrificed way too much to get there. Add in some dreadful cooling issues and you end up with a laptop that's far too compromised to recommend...
Abstract: The Swift 5 is Acer's premium, mid-size, thin and light laptop and its 2018 update sees it jump from a 14-inch screen to a 15.6-inch screen, without becoming heavier or larger. That makes it the thinnest and lightest 15.6-inch laptop in the world, accordi...
Abstract: You might have heard of Acer’s super-light Swift range before, but this new Swift 5 is certainly something special. Despite its massive display, this 15in laptop weighs less than 1kg, but doesn’t scrimp on specs...
Abstract: When we reviewed the Acer Swift 5 in 2017 we were rather impressed with the slender, 14-inch notebook. For 2018 it's coming in a 15-inch format - but without stacking on much additional size or weight. It's one of the most compact 15.6-inch laptops we've...

The Swift 5 possesses the sort of power that will let you do pretty much anything, besides playing games. There's no dedicated GPU, so while you can play Minecraft and Fortnite, the Swift 5 and The Witcher 3 aren't going to get along at all. For that sor...
Supremely light, Magnesium casing, Friendly connections array, Good value
High-pitch fan, Screen on the dim side, Only passable battery life, Speaker buzz at max volume
How excited does the prospect of a sub-1kg laptop get you? If the answer is "very", then the Swift 5 might be the perfect laptop for you.Not only is it unnervingly light with no obvious power sacrifice as a result, it's substantially cheaper than somethin...

The Acer Swift 5 is an extremely light laptop. Others with 13-14in screens tend to weigh 40% more. We're not talking about a trifling few grammes here. It roughly matches the weight of the 12in MacBook, which is far less powerful. The Swift 5 has an obvio...
nice build and aesthetics, despite being built entirely out of plastic, compact and very light, good keyboard and trackpad, modern hardware, runs cool and very quiet, fast wireless
dim panel with a glossy nontouch finishing, limited IO no TB3 or cardreader, potential performance issues with demanding loads, small 36 Wh battery, rather poor speakers, expensive at launch
The late-2017 version of the Swift 5 is compact and lighter than most other clamshell ultrabooks out there. It also offers modern hardware and a good keyboard, but at the same time skims on some important aspects like the screen quality and battery size...

decent yet slightly too dark touchscreen, just 930 grams, 180-degree hinge, decent color-space coverage, low power consumption
extreme CPU throttling, slower than its own predecessor, creaks, noticeable gaps on the lid, limited port selection, poor placement, keyboard layout far from ideal, display too dark and too reflective, small battery, poor battery life
