Acer has announced a bunch of new notebooks and desktops aimed at the gaming crowd and those looking for thin & light machines for portability. The first of the machines falls into the Thin & Light category and is called the Swift 5. Acer touts the machine as its newest ultrathin-and-lite notebook that features next-generation Intel Core processors.
The Swift 5 features Intel’s 11th generation Core (Tiger Lake) processors with onboard Xe graphics, and can be fitted with an optional NVIDIA GeForce MX 350 GPU. Despite the powerful hardware inside the machine, Acer is still able to keep it under 2.2 pounds and only 0.59-inch thick. The computer maker also designed the Swift 5 with a touchscreen that features an Antimicrobial Corning Gorilla Glass covering to help kill germs that commonly collect on touchscreen devices. The touchscreen also has ultra-narrow bezels with a 90% screen-to-body ratio. Availability for the Swift 5 is set for October, starting at $999.99.
On the gaming notebook front, Acer has the Predator Helios 700 gaming notebook that has a very cool sliding HyperDrift keyboard.
