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

Large touchpad
IPS display with stable viewing angles

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
One of the thinnest ultrabooks on the market, Beautiful design, Generous trackpad
Poor performance from the Y series i5, No keyboard backlighting, Lack of connectivity options, Only one spec configuration
The Swift 7 is beautiful looking machine with one of thinnest frames on the market, but it's let down by a low performance CPU and too many cut corners. A solid ultrabook for those that want something thin, but otherwise there's very little it offers o...

Beautiful design, Excellent feel, Two USB, C ports
Middling battery life, No keyboard backlight
The Acer Swift 7 is one of the most gorgeous laptops of the year already, but it cuts a few too many corners as a more affordable foil to the 12-inch MacBook...
Whether the Acer Swift 7 is the right laptop for you depends on how much you care about its 10mm thickness. If you don't mind adding a millimetre or five, you can get laptops with more power and better connectivity for the same price. Hardcore users take...

Firm-feeling build, good screen contrast, a large trackpad and a lower price than some
Limited connections, processor prioritises efficiency over performance, no backlight keyboard
The Acer Swift 7 is one of the thinnest laptops in the world, and it costs a bit less than some in this class. Add a good trackpad, a decent screen and a solid-if-shallow keyboard and you have a great ultra-portable machine for work and the sorts of time-...

Designed neatly, Finesse and lightness, Screen very well calibrated, bright and contrasted, Touchpad wide and precise, Latest Intel processor, Good value for money,
Average autonomy (about 6 hours), Small keys, No keypad backlighting, Wide screen frame, Disappointing speakers,
By yielding to the fashion of “ultra-ultra-portability”, Acer made in the classical and efficient, but a little bit to stand out from the competition. The Acer Swift 7 is very light and very thin, offers a very good screen, a satisfactory finish and a low...
Of course it goes without saying that despite the very evident borrowing of Cupertino's design language, you're going to be stuck with Windows 10 for your operating system✱. Many of you, I understand, have become inured to it, and some even like it. I'm n...
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...
Luxurious look and feel, Two USB Type-C ports, Color accurate, high-contrast display, Huge touchpad, Long battery life
Performance lags the competition, No resolution option beyond 1080p, Weak speakers
Yes, if you care about portability.Battery life puts the Swift 7 on the podium. It lasts longer than its peers, often beating them by over an hour. That is no doubt due to the Core i5-7Y54 processor that so badly hurts its performance. It's disappointing...
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
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 Acer Swift 7 is advertised at the thinnest laptop out there at the time of this post (September 2016), and despite that, it's actually very well built and packs solid features. However, I feel that its footprint, keyboard, IO and even screen and batte...
