Acer’s Swift 7 line has always included some of the thinnest and lightest laptops in the world, and this year’s refresh — first teased at IFA 2018 last summer — might just be the most impressive yet, with an incredible 92 percent screen-to-body ratio that nearly does away with bezels entirely. And this year at CES 2019, we finally got more details on the upcoming Ultrabook, including specifications, price, and a release window.

Now, at 9.95 mm thick (0.39 inches), the Swift 7 isn’t quite the thinnest laptop ever — that honor still goes to last year’s version, which measured in at just 8.98 millimeters. But due to the reduced bezels, the new Swift 7 offers a dramatically smaller footprint than its predecessor, along with an even lighter weight at just 1.96 pounds.
