ACER Switch 7 Black Edition
First, off is the top talked among the ACER 2017 laptops… the Switch 7 Black Edition. The main reason why the Switch 7 is anticipated much is that it is the world’s first fanless 2-in-1 laptop. You’ve heard it right. Acer achieved that thanks to what they call Dual LiquidLoop technology.

The 1.15kg laptop has an 8th-generation Intel Core i7 processor paired with Nvidia’s GeForce MX150 graphics card on board. Running on Window 10, the $1,699 (PHP 84,950) priced laptop also features a fingerprint sensor and will go on sale starting December 2017.
ACER Swift 5
The Acer’s Swift 5 features a Full HD IPS touchscreen display. The laptop only weighs less than 1kg due to its design made of ultra-light magnesium-lithium and magnesium-aluminum alloys. Not only does the laptop equipped with 8th-generation Intel Core processor, but it also boasts Acer’s TrueHarmony and Dolby’s Audio Premium sound. Users could experience the laptop’s 8-hour battery life with a price of $999 (PHP 49,950) starting in December 2017.
