Acer today revealed Switch 7 Black Edition, the world’s first fanless 2-in-1 notebook with discrete graphics. Acer Switch 7 Black Edition features a sturdy brushed-aluminum body and is powered by a 8^th Generation Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce MX150 graphics. Despite its powerful specs, it weighs less than 1.15 kg (2.5 lbs.).

The Switch 7 Black Edition comes with a new kickstand mechanism. Acer calls it Acer AutoStand and it can be auto-deployed and auto-retracted, providing single-handed operation as simple as opening and adjusting the display on a clamshell notebook.

On the display front, it features a 13.5-inch IPS display with 2256 x 1504 resolution and supports Windows Ink powered by Wacom EMR technology. The Acer Pen will support 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and tilt support to control the angle, width or shading of the stroke. There’s no need to charge the new Acer Pen.

To support Windows Hello based authentication, the Swift 7 Black Edition features an optical-based under-glass fingerprint sensor design with POA (Power on Authentication) that will allow you to power on the device and login instantly with just one touch.
