s the World's Thinnest Laptop Too Thin? #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin and supposedly

this is the world's thinnest laptop so

this is the Acer Swift 7 so thinner is

usually better right you don't see

everyone walking around with the

enormous laptops anymore however my

question is how thin is too thin as this

guy measures in it less than 10

millimeters thick so inside the box we

get Oh fit work perfect huh that is a

that's a thin laptop all right if first

things it doesn't seem crazy so we have

a couple ports on the side we'll get to

that in just one second

a USBC USB adapter in the box how

thoughtful we also have a USB C to HDMI

adapter include in the box and the power

cable is also USB see behind guests yet

this laptop has only USB C ports

although this is a little bit big for us

PC charger so that's one of the

downsides to having something that's so

thin and like I said with all the other

USB C devices this year such as the Mac

books well it's a great connector it's

absolutely the future it's difficult to

get by with no standard USB ports today

that is a nice looking laptop so side by

side with the current generation 12-inch

MacBook it is a fair bit thicker so

you're seeing there's a lot bigger of a

taper here now this is not exactly super

thick laptop any means but this is

definitely thinner and something you

won't find on the 12-inch MacBook are

two USB C port switch the Swift has so

at the very least you can plug in

something like an external drive and

also charge a laptop at the same time

you know like any laptop ever should be

able to do I do like the finish as a

laptop but it gets really fingerprinted

very quickly I haven't even turned it on

and yet it's completely coated already

open up the Swift 7 and you will find

the 13.3 inch 1080p IPS display now it

might not be quite as high resolution as

I'd like it's a really nice looking

panel something you won't find is a

touchscreen so no matter how much I

touch the gorilla glass display nothing

happens and that's kind of a

disappointment at this point if you're

going to get any kind of reasonably

high-end Windows 10 laptop I feel like a

touchscreen should be part of the

bargain

this keyboard is not bad so a lot of

times when you have very very thin

laptops one of the first things that

gets sacrificed is the actual keyboard

travel it's very shallow it's very

clicky this is a surprisingly good

keyboard there's very little sort of

flex in it and I feel like I could

pretty much immediately get up to speed

on this guy the trackpad is also not bad

so even that's a little bit of a weird

shape with it being very wide not so

tall the accuracy is nice we have things

like multi-touch gestures I can swipe to

go back and that's one of the things

that's really kind of immediately

jumping out to me about the sweat 7 even

though it's a super thin laptop Acer

didn't compromise on the essentials

right so the screen is solid keyboard

surprisingly good eating the tripod it's

completely usable letting folks running

the headset off of the built-in speakers

are also decent so unlike most laptops

especially these days they're actually

firing downward which means that this

sound is not quite as clear as it could

be but for something that's this then it

gets a pass something you won't find

around back or in events as this is a

fully fanless laptop now that's not

exactly something brand new however a

lot of times you're going to end up

sacrificing performance and with this

we're getting a slightly lower spec CPU

inside we have the latest seventh

generation Intel Core i5 processors

based on KB Lake so let's Foley up to

date however these are the same

processors that used to be called Core M

essentially what that means is in return

for that fanless design it's a much

lower watt part around four and a half

watts give you some perspective on that

most smartphones are not too far south

of that paired with a gigabytes of

memory this is going to be fine for

light to moderate tasks however when you

get into heavier lifting such as photo

and video editing expect things to slow

down this is not a workstation in theory

though we should be able to do some

light gaming such as csgo so this is

720p on medium and it's not bad um it's

not the smoothest experience in the

world so we're bottoming out around the

mid 30s on the frame rate but for a bit

of gaming's it's not bad at all so you

Armand I wish all gaming could just be

played against easy bots on csgo

I shouldn't play with real people it's a

bad idea a few moments late

yeah okay so I pressured Crouch right

that's not a good idea oh come on that

was actually pretty close that was

pretty close rhymed there was a solid uh

eight and twenty for the switch seven is

a legitimately cool laptop whoever

you're paying a price for that not only

are you losing for it so you know you

get dongles in the box more importantly

it's expensive around eleven hundred

dollars you can pick up other laptops

that are very similarly equipped that

have actual USB ports an HDMI ports

they're gonna cost you a couple hundred

dollars less this is not a bad laptop

but you really are paying a premium for

those extra few millimeters of thickness

so what do you guys think I'm Pub the

world's thinnest laptop deadly be sure
