“There’s been great feedback on Acer’s amazingly light 14-inch Swift 5, and we are now pushing the limits with the 15.6-inch model. We’ve kept the weight under the 1 kg mark by using ultra-narrow bezels and a marginally larger chassis,” said Jerry Hou, General Manager, Consumer Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer Inc in a press statement.
Acer Swift 5 features the company’s Color Intelligence technology, which dynamically adjusts gamma and saturation in real-time to optimise screen colour and brightness.
