Acer Swift 7 is Now The Thinnest Laptop Ever : Price Starts at $999 USD

In line with the upcoming 40th anniversary of Acer Inc., the legendary Taiwanese electronics company unveiled a number of exciting new products at this year's IFA gadget expo currently happening in Berlin, Germany.

And one of their new devices that really got tech bloggers talking is the Acer Swift 7, which has just become the slimmest or thinnest laptop in the world today.

Look at that! Thumbs up, Acer! Amazing.

Measuring just 9.98 millimeters (or a little less than a centimeter) at its thickest point, this svelte ultrabook was able to easily snatch the title away from HP Spectre that has a thickness of 10.4 millimeters.

Apart from being extremely slim, Acer Swift 7 is also very light -- weighing only 1.1 kilograms, making it perfect for road warriors or those who often fly to other countries for both work and play.

Though lightweight, Acer Swift 7 is nonetheless a heavyweight when it comes to both aesthetics and features.

Flaunting Gold and Black hues, this laptop dons an anodized aluminum shell and scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass protecting its 13-inch Full HD IPS display, which make it both durable and elegant.

The island-style keys are well spaced and the trackpad is more than sizable.

Apart from being very portable, another thing that makes Acer Swift 7 perfect for those who are always on the go is its long battery life. It delivers up to 9 hours of uptime on a full charge!

This ultrabook also made to deliver three-times faster web-browsing and online video-viewing experience versus older laptops as it comes with a 2x2 80.11 ac MU-MIMO wireless card.

Under the hood, Acer Swift 7 runs Microsoft Windows 10 with Intel's seventh generation Core i5 'Kaby Lake' processor and comes with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage.

As for ports, the notebook has two for USB Type C 3.1 plus a 3.5mm combo jack.

"The Thinnest Laptop in the World Today" has an official suggested retail price starting at $999 USD or Php 46,600 with current conversion and before taxes. According to the company, Acer Swift 7 will be available in key markets around the world starting in October 2016.

Will Acer eventually bring this to the Philippines? I sure hope so. It looks hot!
