“Acer is consistently developing new ways to engineer thin-and-light
chassis designs that house the latest technology with stellar features,” said
Jerry Hou, General Manager, Consumer Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer Inc.
“The industry-leading sub-1 kg weight on the new Swift 5 delivers all that’s
best in an ultra-portable notebook: a sleek chassis, stylish design and slim
bezels with superb performance and battery life.”
“The latest 8th Gen Intel Core processors set a new
standard for mobile computing with blazing fast integrated Gigabit Wi-Fi
combined with even faster Intel performance, long battery life and enabling
more convenient voice and touch interactions,” said Chris Walker, Vice
President of the Client Computing Group and General Manager of Mobility Client
Platform at Intel. “We have worked closely with Acer to bring these new levels
of performance and connectivity to life with the latest Swift models.”
“Acer continues to drive innovation with the Swift 5, a Windows 10 PC
that packs a lot of power in a sleek, light and ultra-thin design,” said Paul
Donovan, Vice President, Partner and Device Solutions, Microsoft Corp. “The
Swift 5 brings superior battery life, portability and the convenience of
password-free logins with Windows Hello for those who are always on the go,
whether for business or personal use.”
The Swift 5’s ground-breaking design features top and bottom covers
that are constructed from magnesium-lithium alloy for a thinner design while
ensuring durability without bending or twisting. The magnesium-aluminum alloy
palm rest provides an extra sturdy base when using the keyboard and trackpad.
The slim chassis measures only 15.9 mm (0.63 inches) thin, yet makes room for a
fingerprint reader that supports Windows Hello so customers can log in to their
accounts faster and keep their device more secure.
Complementing the fast Intel Core processors, the Acer Swift 5 boasts
up to 16 GB of DDR4 SDRAM and up to a 1 TB NVMe PCIe SSD for speedy boot times
and file access. Customers can make the most of the system’s performance and
long battery life even into evening hours with the LED backlit keyboard.
The Swift 5’s Full HD 1920x1080 IPS1 touchscreen features
ultra-narrow bezels measuring just 5.87 mm (0.23 inches), giving it an
incredible 87.6% screen-to-body ratio to create an immersive viewing
experience. The wide viewing angles make it easy to enjoy streaming video with
friends and colleagues. Acer BluelightShield reduces blue-light emissions for
nighttime viewing, while Acer Color Intelligence™ technology dynamically
adjusts gamma and saturation in real-time for optimum screen-color and
brightness. Plus, Acer TrueHarmony technology and optimized Dolby Audio deliver
high-quality sound via the dual stereo speakers.
