The Acer Swift 5 has just landed in the Malaysian market. The new entry in the Swift series of laptops refines the Swift 5 of last year with sleeker design, slimmer visage and more focus on productivity on-the-go. It’s also got your back, literally, weighing in at only 0.99kg.

The new Acer Swift 5 comes with specifications starting with a 10th generation Intel Core i5 paired with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage (PCIe SSD). A step up gets you a discreet graphics card with the NVIDIA MX250; and at the top of the line is a 10th generation Intel Core i7 with the latest Intel IRIS Plus Graphics.

The Acer Swift 5 comes with a 14-inch Full HD 1080p IPS display. The display is also touch enabled and has a 170° viewing angle. The Acer Swift 5 has a sleek silhouette with a thinness of only 14.95mm. It is also Windows Hello enabled with a fingerprint sensor. The hinge of the Swift 5 is highlighted in gold and has a little more than 150° of motion. Acer claims it has 12.5 hours of battery life, enough to last you a full working day.

The laptop comes with 2 regular USB ports, one of which is USB 3.1; 1 USB C port with USB 3.1; a 3.5mm audio jack and an HDMI port. It charges via a proprietary charging port. However, you will also able to charge the laptop through the USB-C port.
