News & Reviews:   Acer Swift 7

Alongside the monster gaming laptops, monitors and desktops the Predator line launched today, Acer surprised many by unveiling another compact yet powerful laptop. The Acer Swift 7 features some pretty impressive specs bundled into a super compact device weighing only 890 grams and thinness of only 9.95mm.

So a lot of things happened this week. First, there was Computex 2019 with ASUS showing a wide range of products - a new ZenFone 6 Edition 30, ZenBook Edition 30 laptop and a Prime X299 Edition 30 motherboard for its 30th Anniversary, a ZenBook Pro Duo with two functioning 4K touchscreens, new VivoBook S14 and S15 with a 5.65-inch ScreenPad 2.0 display, two new portable monitors (ZenScreen Touch and ROG Strix XG17), ROG Swift gaming monitor, a new Glacier Blue skin for ROG gaming laptops in the near future, and many more. 

The Trade War between the USA and China still going on, the chain effect has hit across the nation. Our Prime Minister voiced out on the matter, saying Malaysia will still use Huawei technology; Huawei has also prepared to file a lawsuit against the US Government for bullying, a number of Malaysian restaurants are showing support for Huawei smartphone users, and for some reason, the Mate 20 Pro is back on the Android Q beta program. 

And on other news, Apple Malaysia has just announced a new iPod touch with AR capability coming soon to Malaysia from RM899, Pokemon Masters is also set to be released on our mobile devices this year, and finally, OPPO Reno 10X Zoom was announced for RM3399 (which to be honest, is kinda expensive comparing with the Xiaomi Mi 9 for having similar tech specs minus the 60x zoom feature for just RM1699, now you tell me which one makes more sense). 

During the first day of CES 2019, Acer has released three new laptops which are the all-new Swift 7, a new convertible Predator Triton 900 as well as its first Chromebook 315 Powered by Versatile AMD A-Series Processors with Radeon Graphics. As usual, prices are announced in USD and Europe pricing, so we will get to that later at the end of the post.

Acer Malaysia celebrates Acer Day with "Play Music Together" in Midvalley today. The annual Acer Day returns this year with plenty of promotions to offer. There's also 3 special laptop models were launched during the event, Predator Helios 300 Special Edition, Acer Swift 7 and Acer Swift 7 Black Edition.

It's CES 2018 news time and Acer has launched four new laptops namely a revamped Swift 7, Chromebook 11, a new Nitro 5 gaming laptop and a new Spin 3 notebook. Just before we dive into the details, all specifications, prices and availability may vary by region. With that being said, let's check the new Acer toys out.

After the long wait, Acer’s ultra-thin and lightweight Swift 5 laptop has landed in Malaysia, joining the Swift 7 and Swift 3 line-up here to offer more features-packed, trendy laptops for every budget and lifestyle. Below is the official tech-specs:

While there wasn't any clear big event or device this week, the sheer number of announcements was huge with Vivo announcing their V5 (set for an official announcement in Malaysia next week) along with their X9, X9 Plus and XPlay 5 devices. The more powerful OnePlus 3T got announced rather quietly alongside the downgraded Huawei Mate 9 Lite while Huawei also announced the Huawei Mate 9 Pro for China. Check out the rest in the article.

Today, Acer Malaysia has finally brought in their latest laptop product lineup into Malaysia, which features the world's thinnest laptop - Swift 7, along with Swift 3, convertible laptop Spin 5, all-in-one Aspire C 22 PC, Predator Z1 gaming monitor and even new SuperCare Warranty Packages. But first, the three laptops specifications:

Looks like the biggest news of the week came in at the last moment as Samsung officially recalled the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 over a faulty sometimes exploding battery. It wasn't the only one suspended as Google also stopped work on their Project Ara modular smartphone.
