What’s thinner than a standard DVD case, weighs 1.2kg and can switch among different modes to suit your needs?

The super-skinny Spin 7 from Acer boasts four modes: Display mode for when you need to collaborate and create with others, tent mode for use in confined spaces, tablet mode for browsing the Internet, and laptop mode for when you’re typing out massive essays or reports.

A narrow bezel fits a 14-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) IPS Corning Gorilla Glass touchscreen display into a sleek 13-inch aluminium unibody frame that reduces weight. A 7th-generation Intel Core i7 chip handles processing duties. A 256GB solid-state drive takes care of storage while 8GB of LPDDR3 memory helps apps run smoothly.

Built-in 802.11ac MU-MIMO (multi-user multiple-input, multiple-output) wireless technology offers potentially faster downloads — ideal for households and offices where multiple devices are online simultaneously.

Swift 7

Usual Price: From S$1,998

Road warriors can travel light with the Acer Swift 7, which weighs 1.1kg and features an aluminium chassis that is 9.98mm thin. A 13.3-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) IPS display, which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, provides crisp visuals.

Intel’s 7th-generation Core processors help make this a versatile performer, and a Windows 10 Home operating system offers access to a host of entertainment and productivity apps.

Proprietary Color Intelligence technology offers users clearer visuals by dynamically adjusting the screen’s gamma and saturation to suit lighting conditions while Acer TrueHarmony reduces audio distortion. With Dolby Audio Premium, you get sound enhancement technology options such as Surround Virtualizer (for headphones and built-in speakers), Dialogue Enhancer, and Bass Enhancer.

Dual USB 3.1 Type-C ports allow for rapid data transfer and charging as well as connection to external displays. Keeping in touch with loved ones is easy, thanks to an HD webcam with High Dynamic Range imaging support that helps provide clear, detailed images.
