Acer Aspire 5 and Swift 3X laptops with 11th Gen Intel Core CPUs now in Malaysia
Acer’s global next@acer event last month revealed their next generation range of laptops, desktops and other gear to the world. It’s barely a month in and they’re already shipping the first wave of their newly announced laptops – the Swift 3X series and Aspire 5 series to Malaysia.
Both laptops come with the latest 11th Gen Intel processors and integrated Iris Xe graphics though some versions back NVIDIA MX350 GPUs. Of note is that purchases of both laptops before the end of the year – 31st December 2020 will get free gifts including RM100 worth of Touch ‘n Go eWallet credit and personalised laptop sleeves too.

The Acer Swift 3X comes with two possible configurations that differ by what processor they pack and how much RAM they have. Common to both variants is a 14-inch Full HD IPS display, a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD, Intel Iris Xe MAX graphics, about 17.5-hours of battery life and a free copy of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2019.
The cheaper variant has an Intel Core i6-1135G7 CPU with 8GB DDR4 RAM for RM3,799 while the higher end version with an Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU and 16GB DDR4 RAM retails for RM4,599.
