Acer Swift 5 (2018) Hands-On - World's Lightest 15-inch Laptop! | The Tech Chap

The Acer Swift 5 (2018) is the LIGHTEST 15-inch Laptop on the market, weighing less than 1KG (990 grams - LG Gram 15 weighs 1.1KG). With a 8th Gen i5 or i7 processor, 15.6" 1080p IPS Touchscreen and starting at £1,099 - is the World's Lightest Laptop worth buying?

got myself a swift 5 2018 as a run out model 2 months ago - its a really beautiful laptop, and yes insanely light. People I had shown the device to had all been amazed by the lightness of it. No wobble issues for me, battery life i think is decent roughly 7 -8 hours doing office type work. Overall i thought was a great purchase

isn't the HDMI port a bit crooked?

Perhaps this channel should be renamed to The Asus Chap. Now he’s calling Acer booth Asus booth.

What?? I was at the booth and didn't see that laptop. No worries, will go in tomorrow. Thanks Tom, might into bump into you there buddy 👍

Thank you for this video
I have a question: Can you flip the laptop 360, like make it into tablet form?
Thank you.

Thanks for pointing out the screen wobble. 👍

Actually the battery IS (largely) missing.

I am so glad the huge ass bottom bezel is going away. Symmetry is beautiful.

LG Gram beats all other laptops in terms of battery life. How about this one?

[maximme]

THINNEST doesn't do much.
LIGHTNESS does.

and hopefully, better cooling.

Lightest? My Samsung 2017 Notebook 9 15" weighs 980g. Look it up, I am not making this up. That model may not be sold in the UK, though.

Looks a little cheap and that screen wobble is too much...But hope this comes out in Australia, if the battery life is good and not over $1500 would consider it

[nickhickson]

Tom, Tom you're still saying 'Haitch'!

[sitoudien]

Can you review the Acer Switch 7 Black edition. It's MIA. It was announced last IFA. Also the Lenovo X1 tablet and the HP elite x2 2018 tablet. These are all Surface competitors.

[clivewuest]

I'm going to put it out there now Tom. You are going to end up being offered the job as presenter on Click.

[muqsshah]

Where can I buy this from ??? It’s sold out everywhere !

[bradenzhao]

I really concern the laptop quality. You can see the HDMI port was not installed properly

[muradaliyev]

Has it been released already? all I can find on the internet is 14 inch version

[cipherwing]

Do they have the new gaming monitors? the VG0 and RG0

i5 8gb ram 512ssd or i7 8gb ram 512ssd? the difference is £100. is it worth to pay £100 extra? I just use for work excel, word, email, internet . i need long battery life, fast internet connection. I heard that i7 consumes more battery life than i5? is that right?
