Adding to the wealth of new hardware unveiled at
this year’s CES 2018 technology event, Acer has taken the wraps off its new
Acer Swift 7 (SF714-51T) which is being marketed as the world’s thinnest
notebook and comes complete with integrated 4G LTE modem. Measuring just 8.98
mm thick the new ultra-thin laptop is powered by an Intel Core i7
7th-generation processor and comes supplied preloaded with Microsoft’s latest
Windows 10 operating system.
Due to its super thin design Acer has needed to
moves the two USB Type-C ports and a TRRS connector from the right side to the
left and has removed the fingerprint reader from the touchpad. Acer has also
redesigned the hinges which attach the 14 inch display with thinner bezels and
the integrated web camera has now been moved from the top of the screen to the
bottom.
Connectivity from the laptop is provided by a 2×2
802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module for local wireless connectivity as well as
the already aforementioned 4G LTE modem created by Intel. Acer has included an
integrated eSIM enabling users to quickly purchase new contracts using Mobile
Plans app, which can be used in various countries around the world. Acer has
also included a 1GB Transatel data plan, valid for one month in 48 countries to
demonstrate the worldwide connectivity of the new super thin laptop.
The new Acer Swift 7 (SF714-51T) will be
available in the US and the UK during April 2018 and will be priced at US$ 1700 or
£ 1600 depending on your location. For full specifications and purchasing
