Tech is kicking off the year with CES 2018 and Acer outdid themselves by making their very own world’s thinnest laptop even thinner. The Acer Swift 7 comes from being 9.91mm to 8.98mm thick — if you can still call it that.

Being ultra-thin isn’t all this laptop has to offer. There’s a seventh-generation Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of PCle SSD storage. An interesting feature integrated into the newer Swift 7 is 4G LTE connectivity. Not only that but Acer is letting go of the gold and black aluminum matte exterior and keeping it sleek and simple this time with an all-black aluminum unibody chassis.

Other upgrades include a 14-inch Corning Gorilla Glass touchscreen compared to the 13.3-inch non-touchscreen of the predecessor, a fresh new backlit keyboard, and a Windows Hello-compatible fingerprint reader.

All of which will cost an arm and a leg — maybe even more. It’ll go on sale soon with prices starting at US$ 1,699.

The future of smart appliances is upon us.

LG has not only dared to venture into connected kitchen technology, they’ve taken it a step further with their newest smart appliances. We got to see all this at CES.

The InstaView ThinQ is the fridge of the future. It’s equipped with the smart voice assistant Alexa which means you will be able to talk to it — the better to figure out what you want to eat! Not only that, it will suggest recipes depending on what food items you have stored. The best part is that it can be connected to your phone and all your other smart appliances for a seamless everyday home experience.
