 Hey guys, I'm Vlad with The Verge here at IFA 2016 and this thing in front of me is the 0.998 cm stick Acer Swift 7. This is the first sub 1cm laptop to be announced. Intel teased this with its new Cabell Lake processors and Acer has immediately delivered on that tease. This is the Core i5 Y-Series from Intel inside. It has a 13.3 inch full HD display, has one of the widest touchpads we've yet seen on a laptop and it's also extremely light, 1.1 kilograms and if all of that wasn't enough, Acer promises 9 hours of battery life. Now another thing to take note of is the ports on this thing. I mean you might not think there could be any ports but it actually has three of them. Two USB 3.1 jacks, take note Apple, and headphone jack, take note Apple. One of the questions that our readers raised when they heard Intel tease of a sub 1cm laptop was whether it would bend. I have actually tried that with Acer's new laptop and I can confirm that it doesn't actually bend. I can't believe we're doing the bend test on a laptop but there you go this is the age we're living in. One thing I will say though is that the keyboard does have quite a bit of flex to it so when you press in a key even though it doesn't have much travel at all at least the keyboard itself gives you more travel by flexing. Aside from that the touchpad is just enormous, it's like a widescreen touchpad and Windows touchpads have traditionally been a bit of an issue so maybe the extra size and the extra room of this one will be kind of a benefit, kind of an upgrade. The one thing that actually comes to mind with this is because it's so light you kind of want it to be convertible, you kind of want to be able to flip it around like a tablet and for that purpose Acer is actually coming out with an Acer Spin 7 which is the sibling to the Swift 7 but it can do the transformable thing where it can flip out, open out fully and function as a tablet and a touchscreen. One other difference between the two is that the Spin 7 because it's a little bit larger and a little bit thicker it's 1.1 centimeters can accommodate an Intel Core i7 processor, a bit more powerful but otherwise you get 8 gigabytes of RAM 256 gigabytes of SSD storage on the Swift 7 and the Core i5 Y series processor. This is a 14-inch display on the Acer Spin 7, 13.3 on the Swift 7 and both of them are priced at 1299 euros, they'll be available in September or around October over here in Europe and they're going to be part of a whole family of new devices coming out from Acer, Asus and all the other Windows OEMs with the new Cabellet processors from Intel. Thanks for watching our first look at Acer's ultra thin new laptops.
