In early 2018, Acer launched the latest model of the Acer Swift 7 which is thinner and more powerful than the previous model. Acer Swift 7 2018 has a thickness of 8.98 mm, thinner than the 2016 Swift 7 which is 10 mm thick. With the release of this latest model, Acer cemented its position as the world's thinnest laptop, beating the MacBook which has a thickness of 13 mm.
Although it is very thin, the performance of this laptop is unquestionable. Acer Swift 7 is powered by a 7th generation Intel Core i7 processor and a long-lasting battery so you can work with heavy applications without any obstacles at all. Interestingly, Acer has embedded an Intel XMM 4G modem into this laptop, so you can continue to connect to the internet even if there is no Wi-Fi signal.
The Acer Swift 7 is the right laptop for professionals and consumers who have high mobility and need seamless connectivity. This super thin laptop with great power must be redeemed at a fairly expensive price. How much it costs?
Latest Acer Swift 7 2018 Price
Acer Swift 7 2018 is sold at Rp. 19,999,000 (Intel Core i7-7Y75/8GB/256 GB SSD). Although the selling price is quite high, for professionals and business people the price offered by the Acer Swift 7 is quite reasonable. For almost the same price as the MacBook Air, you can get a laptop that is thinner and has more reliable performance. Moreover, the integrated 4G modem support makes this laptop perfect for those of you who travel a lot.
7th Generation Intel Core i7 Processor
Acer Swift 7 2018 is powered by a 7th generation Intel Core i7 processor with the i7-7Y75 series. This processor has 2 cores with a base speed of 1.3 GHz. Hyper-Threading technology is also included so the two cores can handle 2 times more work. Turbo Boost technology is also present so that the base speed of the processor can be increased up to 3.6 GHz, especially when the system requires more energy. This processor is integrated with Intel HD Graphics 615 graphics which already supports 4K video formats.
Memory and Storage Capacity
In order to produce great multitasking performance, the Intel Core i7 Y series processor is assisted by 8GB of RAM memory. The large enough memory capacity makes it easy for you to use many applications at the same time. Plus, you can also use heavy applications smoothly, such as photo and video processing and graphic design applications. To maintain a thin body, Acer Swift 7 uses SSD type storage which is thinner and more compact than HDD. In addition, the performance factor is also the reason why Swift 7 prefers SSD. SSD storage makes booting faster and apps more responsive. Acer Swift 7 is equipped with a 256 GB SSD.
Unlimited Wireless Connectivity
Acer Swift 7 is equipped with an XMM 4G LTE modem from Intel. With the help of this modem you can connect your laptop to the internet via a 4G LTE cellular network. This feature is certainly very useful, especially when you can't find a WiFi hotspot. You can embed a SIM card that supports 4G LTE into the provided Nano SIM card slot. In addition to the Nano SIM, this laptop is also equipped with an eSIM (embedded SIM). By activating an eSIM account at a cellular operator, you can connect to the internet smoothly without the hassle of changing SIM cards.
Laptop and Screen Design
Different from its predecessor, now the Acer Swift 7 comes in a black color which is more dominant. The body frame or chassis is made of unibody aluminum material so that it reflects toughness and elegance when used. The screen size of the latest Acer Swift 7 has increased. If previously Swift 7 was equipped with a 13.3-inch screen, now the screen area is 14 inches. The screen is equipped with an IPS panel with Full HD resolution. The IPS panel with Acer Color Intelligence technology keeps colors from fading when you look at the screen from various angles. In addition, Acer also added Corning Gorilla Glass NBT glass on the screen and touchpad to protect both from scratches.
