Acer Unveils 799-Gram Swift Blade 14 Laptop
Acer has unveiled the Swift Blade 14, designed as a thin and light laptop. The new laptop weighs just 799 grams, and its chassis starts at 12.95 mm thick. It is about 1.7 mm thicker than the 13-inch MacBook Air, but nearly 1 pound lighter. Carbon fiber was used for the top cover and bottom panel to achieve the low weight.
The Swift Blade 14 will be offered with processors from the Intel Wildcat Lake family. Options range from the five-core Core 3 304 to the six-core Core 7 350. All configurations will come with 12 GB of RAM. These processors are not expected to match the raw performance of the MacBook Air with the Apple M5 chip. The laptop's main advantage will be its low weight. The standard version will feature an IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, a 60 Hz refresh rate, and 300 nits of brightness. The OLED options will offer a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and 400 nits of brightness. Versions with OLED panels will have a slightly thicker chassis. There are two USB-C ports on the left, while the right side has one USB-C port, one USB-A port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. One of the USB-C ports is for data transfer only.
Acer has also introduced the Swift Air 16, a larger version of the Swift Air 14 shown at Computex. This model will also offer Intel Wildcat Lake processors and OLED display options. The device will be available with Thunderbolt 4 ports, up to 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of NVMe storage. The 16-inch laptop is 13.5 mm thick and weighs 1.5 kg. The Swift Blade 14 will go on sale this December, but configuration prices will be announced closer to the launch date. The Swift Air 16 will arrive in stores in other regions in December and in North America in the first quarter of 2027. Its price is also not yet known. For comparison, the 14-inch Swift Air 14, which competes with the MacBook Neo, was priced at $699 (approximately AZN 1,190).
