The editors liked
Designed neatly
Finesse and lightness
Screen very well calibrated
Bright and contrasted
Touchpad wide and precise
Latest Intel processor
Good value for money
The Swift 7 is one of the best-designed Windows laptops of this year
But cuts a few too many corners to offer itself up as the foil to an ultimate rival. That said
We thoroughly enjoyed our time using the Swift 7 with its snappy inputs and excellent fee
One of the thinnest ultrabooks on the market
Beautiful design
Generous trackpad
Excellent build quality
Sleek profile and light weight
Fairly good display
Decent everyday performance and battery life
Despite packing a small battery
Runs cool in most situations and is fanless
This is an insanely thin 13-inch laptop
In an eye-catching gray-and-gold design with an extra-wide touchpad. It has one of Intel's newest CPUs
Great build quality
It's very slim
Firm-feeling build
Good screen contrast
A large trackpad and a lower price than some
Excellent feel
Two USB
C ports
Ultrathin
Stunning design
Large trackpad
Two USB-C ports
Luxurious look and feel
Two USB Type-C ports
Color accurate
High-contrast display
Huge touchpad
Long battery life
The editors didn't like
Average autonomy (about 6 hours)
Small keys
No keypad backlighting
Wide screen frame
Disappointing speakers
That said
We wish we could actually use the Swift 7 for longer than around five to six hours
Two hours fewer than Acer's promise. Plus
The lack of keyboard lighting might seem superficial
But it's a nicety we've come to expect on laptops costing more
Poor performance from the Y series i5
No keyboard backlighting
Lack of connectivity options
Only one spec configuration
Only available with a gold interior
Large footprint for a 13incher
Nonbacklit keyboard with poor feedback
The display is glossy
Without being touch capable
Limited IO
The tiny keyboard keys don't feel especially premium
And this isn't the fastest slim 13-inch in the bunch. The 1

Well-built laptop with a fine (if not record-breaking) 1080p screen, Decent keyboard and good Precision Touchpad, Two USB-C ports for data, charging, and external displays, Good battery life, Fanless and fast enough for most people, gamers aside
No touchscreen, No keyboard backlight or Caps Lock indicator light, No Thunderbolt 3, No PCI Express/NVMe SSD, Kaby Lake is barely an upgrade over Skylake (though this isn't Acer's fault)
Sturdy build and eye-pleasing design, Ridiculously thin (9.98 mm) and light (1.1 kg), Excellent touchpad, Decent battery life, Excellent IPS panel with negligible drawbacks, The screen doesn't use PWM from 17 to 100% screen brightness
Limited ports, Lacks keyboard backlight and it's a little bit shallow, Ships with M.2 SATA SSD instead of a PCIe NVMe-enabled drive, Doesn't utilize the full performance of the SoC
The Acer Swift 7 is a great piece of equipment or jewelry. It's absurdly thin, light, compact and portable. It will serve you well during the day with good battery life, enough computing for browsing, office work and multimedia. Speaking of which, the scr...
Remarkably thin and light, Shallow but snappy keyboard, Two USB-C ports with USB-A and HDMI adapters included
Merely adequate performance, Keyboard isn't backlit, No memory card slot or Thunderbolt 3
Acer's thinner-than-thin laptop looks great and feels elegant, but is no barn-burner performance-wise for anything more demanding than office apps. Read More...
Abstract: If there's a silver lining to the overall decline of computer sales , it's the booming of the premium ultramobile segment. Based on a forecast from Gartner , sales of these slim but powerful flagship systems could rise by 11% this year and, by 2018, accou...
Quiet at all times, Handles basic tasks with ease, Thin frame is a unique look
Lacks Thunderbolt 3, Ability to handle more intensive tasks is constrained, It's thin. but it's also large
Thin might not be a substitute for portability or performance, but it does turn heads. Acer goes beyond that gimmick, though: The Swift 7 has a premium feel, with a sturdy frame, a decent and enormous trackpad, a pleasant keyboard, and a black-and-gold finish...
Abstract: Thin may be in, but you can get more bang for your buck...

If portability's your bag, it really is hard to beat the Swift 7. This is easily the thinnest and lightest laptop in the 13.3inch category that I've seen to date, and there doesn't seem to be much fat left to trim. The keyboard has just enough give and th
If there's a glaring hole in the Swift 7's design, it's in the realm of connectivity. The Swift features two USBC ports, side by side on the right edge of the laptop. And that's it. One of these ports is designed to be used for charging, but it can be use
