| Acer Swift 7 (July 2019) review: The ultimate thin-and-light laptop's flaw is still performance
|
 Acer's Swift 7 (July 2019) 14-inch laptop still represents the pinnacle of the thin-and-light PC movement. Amazingly, this breathtakingly slim notebook PC is significantly lighter than its predecessor, while solving many of the usability issues which detracted from Acer's previous Swift 7.

Our updated Swift 7 (July 2019) review reflects how Acer solved those problems, though others remain: a poor webcam, mediocre performance, and a somewhat worrying amount of heat. That won't altogether dull the sheer gasp of amazement that occurs when you first lift this sliver of a laptop out of its box. To read this article in full, please click here
