Pro
Contra
Successful mixture: Acer combines elegant design with sufficient performance, but does not forget the important emissions. We liked the elegant chassis design with the extremely thin bezels in particular. But that's not all: Acer uses solid metal elements and convinces with good build quality, only the keyboard unit can be pushed in. The key travel is also rather short, but the keys can convince with a firm pressure point and low noise development during typing. The glossy IPS display features the Full HD resolution and manages decent results for both the luminance and the contrast. The hardware equipment of the Swift 5 is very balanced, and the processor can almost utilize its maximum performance under load, which cannot be said for the comparison devices. The temperature development is also okay when you consider the performance. The last important aspect for a subnotebook is the battery runtime. The Swift 5 does not last as long as the Dell XPS 13, but you can still manage a full business day without a socket.
The new Acer Swift 5 combines almost all the important aspects for a subnotebook and is available for a fair entry-level price of 900 Euros (~$947).
You should definitely have a look at the Dell XPS 13 9360 if you are on the road most of the time. It convinces with a matte display and very long battery runtimes. Even lighter and slimmer: the rival from Asus for 1,500 Euros (~$1610).
