Thin frame is a unique look
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
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

Stylish design with nice colors
Relatively light
Decent system performance
Large touchpad
IPS display with stable viewing angles
Quite when idle
Adapter for USB 3.1 Type C to USB 3.0
The editors didn't like
USB-C is annoying right now
Trackpad placement is also annoying
Lacks an SD Card Reader
Some users will resent
The single port type
Middle-of-road performance
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)
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
Not as fast as competing laptops
Keyboard is mushy and not backlit
Merely adequate performance
Keyboard isn't backlit
No memory card slot or Thunderbolt 3
Benchmark performance is lower than that of rivals
Shallow key travel
No keyboard backlight
Lacks Thunderbolt 3 support
Lacks Thunderbolt 3
Ability to handle more intensive tasks is constrained
It's thin. but it's also large
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
The tiny keyboard keys don't feel especially premium
And this isn't the fastest slim 13-inch in the bunch. The 1
Weird non-clicky trackpad, Very expensive, Older and less powerful CPU, Low screen resolution for the price
The Acer Swift 7 is a show-off laptop, even if its moody obsidian black finish doesn't make it look like one.Slimming down to be thinner than any laptop out there is the main, perhaps only, goal here. And while Acer has successfully managed this, for most...

Overall, Acer's Swift 7 is an impressive bit of kit. It's got some pretty decent specs for such a tiny and lightweight device, but those who were hoping to take advantage of Intel's most efficient chips yet might be best holding off before splurging on th...

Beautiful design, Excellent feel, Two USB-C ports
Middling battery life, No keyboard backlight
Like we said, the Acer Swift 7 is one of the most gorgeous laptops of the year already, but it cuts a few too many corners to offer up a more affordable laptop in vein of the 12-inch MacBook. Some might be inclined to think that, with a better screen, bat...

The Swift 7 is a seriously impressive laptop - it's practically as thin as a smartphone, but has enough power to run all your desktop jobs smoothly. The price has taken a big leap from last year's model, but even with a year-old CPU, this revised Swift 7...

The 2018 Acer Swift 7 slims down an already slender and impressive laptop, adding 4G connectivity, more power and a keyboard backlight to improve over its predecessor.Problem is, however, it's about £650 more for the pleasure, coming in with a mighty £1,5...
The Acer Swift is a gloriously slim laptop. It might not be the fastest portable on the block, but it's amazingly slim, very light and the price is lower than a lot of the ultraportable competition.Add in a fantastic trackpad, attractive design, and above...

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
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
