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

Middle-of-road performance
No touchscreen
No keyboard backlight or Caps Lock indicator light

No PCI Express/NVMe SSD
Kaby Lake is barely an upgrade over Skylake (though this isn't Acer's fault)

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...
