To be that thin and have a SSD (rather than eMMC) it must have one of the new PCIe 3.0 x 2 BGA SSDs.

New tech survives less than 1 month these days. I mean HP spectre, LG gram were launched just couple of months ago and now they have another new competitor - Acer Swift 7. Looking forward to new MacBooks on this 7th september event.

Daaang... if I had to lug something around all day, something like this would be hard to beat! Hope it's also durable...

Looks great - but don't put it in a backpack!

Yeah, with Apple's bendgate on their big phones, I wonder how an ultra-thin laptop would hold up...

You won't be seeing Apple Computers on the 7th. Phones and a watch maybe.

OTOH this looks like a neat laptop. I watched a few hands on and it piqued my interest.
