Trying the World's Thinnest Laptop #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin today I'm here

at CES 2018 with what is the world's

thinnest laptop this is the Acer Swift 7

if you remember actually did a video

about a year ago on the previous version

of this laptop which was at the time the

world's thinnest laptop

however 10 millimeters ha no one wants

to use a laptop that's anywhere near

that thing

so this guy brings it all the way down

to 9 millimeters to put things in

context all you do is look at the ports

so the thickness of a USBC port is

pretty much the thickness of the laptop

of course with a laptop this thin and

light you do have to have some

trade-offs and the ports are actually

where that begins so on here we're

really just getting a pair of USB

seaports in addition to that headphone

jack however because you have something

that's so thin and light I'm willing to

make some sacrifices even though it is

very thin it actually didn't really

sacrifice on the flexibility of the

chassis so if I really try to twist it

my hands here it really doesn't do

anything which is nice the last thing I

want is my laptop the snap in half in my

bag because it was just a little bit too

thin

now as you would expect the Swift 7 is

hardly the fastest laptop in the world

but it still does have a seventh

generation Core i7 processor paired with

eight gigabytes of RAM as well as a 256

gig SSD now because it is so thin it is

going to be the Y Series processor which

does mean it can be fanless cover this

is actually the only configure of the

laptop there's no additional RAM SSD

options anything like that what you get

is what you get with this guy for the

display it has actually surprisingly

large 14-inch panel with a 1080p

resolution while the screen itself based

on first impressions looks pretty decent

what's impressive is that as a

touchscreen and that really shouldn't be

impressive because it's 2018 and all

laptops should have touch screens but

there you go and you would expect there

are some quirks here so something I've

immediately noticed is that the

backspace key is shared with the Delete

key up top which is a little bit hard to

get used to and you also share the caps

lock with the tilde key but for the most

part the keyboard actually feels pretty

good even though there isn't a ton of

travel especially pretty easy to get

used to the trackpad is also interesting

so on the surface that actually is not

bad so you've got windows precision

drivers and the actual tracking seems

fine the problem is is that there's

actually no clicks so when you actually

go to do it you have to just tap it

which I actually don't mind in a lot of

trackpads but it is a little bit weird

to have essentially no sensation we

actually go for a full click on this guy

one thing that does legitimately

separate this from a lot of other

laptops right now is that it has a

built-in LTE connection so the model I

have here doesn't have it working just

yet the idea is that you will have a

nano SIM slot on the side of the

computer where you just put a sim card

in and switch between networks fairly

easily which especially for something

that's this thin and this portable does

make a lot of sense we also have a 720p

webcam on board so you guys can judge

the quality for yourself one thing is as

with a lot of these ultra portable

laptops the webcam placement being on

the bottom is less than ideal unless of

course you want to get some wonderful

nose selfies the people take selfies on

laptops right so because it is such a

thin laptop the speakers aren't hugely

loud but it does sound decent I'm

totally sure where they're coming out

though oh it looks like on the bottom

here one thing you're really not giving

up though is battery life so the Swift 7

should last for around 10 hours or so on

a charge and on top of that it is also

support a fingerprint sensor for Windows

hello the Acer swift 7 will be available

in late March for $1,700 so yes it is

absolutely pricey but considering just

how thin and how nice the hardware is

for some people if you really want the

best affordability it's not bad of

course what do you guys think about the

Swift 7 it's definitely not going to be
