What is the Acer Swift 5?

The Swift 5 is Acer’s premium, mid-size, thin and light laptop and its 2018 update sees it jump from a 14-inch screen to a 15.6-inch screen, without becoming heavier or larger. That makes it the thinnest and lightest 15.6-inch laptop in the world, according to Acer.

At its recent Acer@Next press conference in New York, Acer showed off the new device but only in a non-functioning shell form. Read on to see the new device in pictures.
