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

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

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
The Acer Swift 7 has a super-thin profile and impressively light weight. It makes the most of the latest processor technology by coming close to the XPS 13 in performance and battery life, but I feel cheated that the Swift 7 has neither ultra-HD nor touch-screen options...
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 fi...
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
The tiny keyboard keys don't feel especially premium, and this isn't the fastest slim 13-inch in the bunch. The 1,920x1,080-pixel screen doesn't support touch, and the only ports are USB-C
It's hard to argue with a 13-inch laptop under 10mm thick. The Acer Swift 7 wins on that front, but other laptops offer more power and features while adding just a few millimeters of bulk...
Doesn't overheat under heavy loads, Battery life is generally over six hours even with Cinebench loops, Strong, rigid body doesn't have too much flex, Gorilla Glass display cover is easy to keep clean
Only two USBC ports, No backlit keyboard, Ships with a M.2 SATA SSD instead of NVMe, No Windows Hello integration out of the box
it pulls in a strong performance in productivity workloads, but the lack of physical cores does hurt its ability to keep ahead in multi-core workloads.The entire system measured from the wall only draws 17.6 watts while running Cinebench's multi-core ben...
Thin and lightweight construction, Good battery life, Fast multitasking
Dependent on dongles at the moment, Colours not for everyone
Getting your hands on the Swift 7 should cost you no less than R24 999, which is what Acer recommended the price at when it debuted at IFA late last year. That said, some online retailers are listing it at just under the R20k mark (Takealot), which makes...
Slick design and good build quality, Good battery life, Vivid and bright display, Good audio though the speakers
Non-backlit keyboard, Older generation USB ports, A bit too expensive
Acer is selling the Swift 7 in select stores and on Flipkart at Rs.99,999, making it line up against the Dell XPS 13 and the HP Spectre 13, both of which have now been refreshed with Kaby Lake Core i5 processors but cost around Rs.10,000 more than their o...
Acer's new Swift 7 almost nails it in every aspect, be it design, performance or the battery. If you want a powerful crazy thin laptop, the Acer Swift 7 is your best option. Of course, the Rs 99,999 base price is a bit high, but you're getting the slimmes...

Impressive Build, Good Battery Life, Decent Performance, Good 4G SIM Support
Underwhelming Speakers, Non Clickable Trackpad, Small Uncomfortable Keys
Without a doubt, the Acer Swift 7 is one gorgeous laptop on it's own. It's super thin and crafted out of the best materials possible to give it a sturdy and solid build. I even loved bringing it around without even worrying about carrying a power brick wi...
