Acer has introduced several Windows 10 laptops, PCs and devices at the IFA 2016 in Berlin.

Lightweight and extremely thin, the Swift 7 weighs in at just 2.48 pounds and measures .39 inches thin. Its black-and-gold dual tone design adds a touch of elegance to its durable all-aluminum unibody, while tough Corning Gorilla Glass provides superior scratch resistance to the 13.3-inch Full HD IPS2 display with a micro-bezel.  With up to 9 hours of battery life, it is the perfect notebook for those on-the-go.

Other features include:

• Powered by Windows 10
• Up to 9 hours of battery life
• HD webcam with HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging support provides clear, bright and detailed images.

Pricing and Availability:  The Acer Swift 7 will be available in North America in October with prices starting at $999; in EMEA in October with prices starting at €1,299.

Acer Spin Series:

Acer expanded its convertible notebook offerings with the Spin 7, Spin 5, Spin 3 and Spin 1. The new Spin series convertible notebooks run on Windows 10, and incorporate innovative 360-degree hinges, along with Continuum, that enable them to be used in various ways: as a notebook or tablet, in a space-saving display mode, or in tent mode for sharing presentations or watching movies. Providing the ultimate in flexibility, they make computing anywhere, anytime easier than ever.  The Acer Spin series offers a wide variety of choices to address different needs, with the Spin 7 debuting as the premiere line. The Spin 5 and Spin 3 offer solid performance combined with compelling technologies such as Full HD IPS1 displays and speedy solid state drives, while the Spin 1 is ideal for students or as a second computer.

Thinner than a standard DVD case, the Spin 7 convertible notebook with Windows 10 is a mere 0.43 inches thin and weighs just 2.6 pounds. Its 13-inch all-aluminium unibody houses a 14-inch FHD IPS Corning Gorilla Glass touchscreen display with a narrow bezel, perfect for drawing with Windows Ink or marking up webpages in Microsoft Edge. Sleek and contemporary, the Spin 7’s matte black chassis is complemented with polished silver hinges and diamond-cut edges around the touchpad. A wide-glass touchpad helps fingers glide smoothly across the surface with minimal friction.
