Soon after Intel unveiled the new P-series and U-series 12th Gen Alder Lake chipsets for ultrabooks, Acer unveiled their new Acer Swift 5 and Swift 3 laptops. In addition to using the new 12th Gen Intel chipsets, the laptops come with a number of other upgrades. Here's everything you need to know about the new Acer laptops:

Acer Swift 5

Acer Swift 5 is the more premium of the two laptops and the company says it's built for professionals who need to work on the go. It's built out of aero-space grade aluminum CNC-machined unibody chassis and weighs only 1.2 kg. The 14.95 mm thick body contains a 12th Gen Intel Core Processor, 16 GB of dual-channel LPDDR5 memory, and up to 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage.

The laptop is Intel Evo verified so it comes with features like fingerprint unlock, instant wake from sleep, and up to 10 hours of battery life. Swift 5 features a 2560 x 1600 resolution touchscreen display with a 92.22% screen-to-body ratio. Acer says the display is made out of antimicrobial Corning Gorilla Glass. The laptop features a backlit keyboard that the company claims is designed to expel 8-10% more heat than a standard keyboard. Acer Swift 5 also features a full array of ports, including 2x Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports, 2x USB Type-A (3.2 Gen 1) ports, and an HDMI 2.1 port.
