There’s a new Acer Swift 5 on the market, and it brings a better screen-to-body ratio, and higher processing power, compared with its predecessor.
You’ll be able to buy the new notebook as from October 2020, starting at $999.99.
Acer Swift 5 (2020) specs
The new Acer Swift 5 sports ultrathin bezels, which is a feature you’d expect of this specific series. Its predecessor (Swift 5 2019) is super-thin too.
But the latest model boasts a better screen-to-body ratio (90%). It also offers an ultraportable chassis that doesn’t begin to betray the power underneath it.
As far as processing power is concerned, Acer Swift 5 (2020) is the first in the series to feature the next gen Intel Core processors.
It appears that the notebook will be powered by 11th gen Intel processors, also known as Intel Tiger Lake chips. Only laptops and gaming notebooks will be running on these super-powerful microchips.
In addition, the device comes with Intel’s futuristic Xe GPU architecture. The built-in graphics should excite you if you’re a gamer.
That’s because the advanced GPU tech is developed for next-gen gaming devices. As such, the Xe graphics on Acer Swift 5 (2020) make it an excellent candidate for this purpose.
But if you don’t like the idea of integrated graphics, you can go with the available NVIDIA GeForce MX350 GPU option.
Storage-wise, the notebook offers a super-fast 1TB PCle SSD hard drive. Combining that with up to 16 GB of LPDDRAX RAM and a next-gen Intel Core chip gives you a powerful Windows 10 machine trapped in the body of a slim notebook.
- 8th gen Core i7-8565u
- 15.6-inch FHD IPS Display
- Ultra-thin & lightweight
- Up to 10 hours battery life
- Complaint about the speakers
This PC is also ideal for enterprise use. Additionally, Acer says that the device suits the preferences of professionals that are constantly on the move.
A productivity powerhouse housed in a sleek and ultraportable chassis, the Swift 5 is an excellent option for professionals who are always on the move and seeking a device capable of keeping up with them.
