Acer today revealed the new Swift 5 laptop targeting users who prefer portability over performance. The new Swift 5 weighs less than 1 kg, thanks to the usage of materials including ultra-light magnesium-lithium alloys for the top and bottom cover, and magnesium-aluminum alloys for extra sturdiness on the palm rest area.

Swift 5 is powered by 8th Generation Intel Core processors, multi-touch Full HD IPS touchscreen and offers an 8-hour battery life. Acer TrueHarmony with Dolby Audio Premium technology provides great audio experience.

The Acer Swift 5 will be available in the US starting at $999 in December. And it will be available in EMEA in December starting at €1,099; and in China in November starting at ¥7,499.
