Introducing the Acer Swift 5

INTRODUCING THE ACER SWIFT 5 – A NOTEBOOK WITH COVID-19 IN MIND; DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOU FROM GERMS & BACTERIA

There is no doubt our lifestyles have dramatically changed in response to COVID-19 – most of us are more conscious about sanitising our hands and home / work environment than ever before. But what about our technology? Especially the several screens we take with us wherever we go.

Tech company Acer has recently launched a novel new notebook in Australia called the Swift 5, which has a unique (and world-first) antimicrobial solution on its touchscreen (Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass). This special glass display is purposely designed to help protect users against germs and bacteria. Simply put, the antimicrobial solution means the surface can stay cleaner for longer, is less susceptible to odour-causing bacteria, and is proven to reduce the rate of bacteria spreading.

The Acer Swift 5 not only has serious street cred with this world-first antimicrobial solution feature, but other highlights also include:

• It’s light, modern and thin, weighing around 1kg with a chassis made from high-grade magnesium-lithium and magnesium-aluminium.

• The all-day battery lasts up to 17-hours and can be fast charged to provide four hours use for just 30 minutes charge.

• Quickly connect to wireless networks with the latest tech via dual-band Intel Wi-Fi 6 (GIG+) and Bluetooth 5.1. USB-C, Thunderbolt 4 and USB3.1 Gen 2 for fast data transfer.

• The embedded fingerprint reader is a smart, quick, and secure way for Windows Hello to verify identity.

The Acer Swift 5 has a RRP of $1,799 (Intel® Core™ i5, 512GB SSD model) and is available at Harvey Norman, Bing Lee and Acer Online now.
