There are tiny laptops and then there are tiny laptops. Even now, when thin-and-lightweight everything is the norm, I’m still sometimes surprised by just how thin-and-lightweight we’re talking. Such is the case with the new Acer Swift 5, which is officially billed as: “The lightest 14in clamshell notebook that offers the option for dedicated Nvidia GeForce graphics.”
A bit convoluted, but I think what Acer is trying to say is it’s really damn light. The Swift 5 is a full-size(ish) laptop that weighs less than some tablet hybrids. That’s impressive – though unless weight is the only feature you care about, the Swift 5 can feel limiting in other regards. Let’s dig in.
