We are the fastest to market and the first to launch the latest technology in countries such as Sri Lanka, which usually does not fall in the map in the technology world, so we are really proud and privileged to be the first company to launch the latest products, which is the 8th Generation based products into Sri Lanka.”

The Switch 7 Black Edition in specific is the world’s first fanless two-in-one notebook with discreet graphics made possible by Acer’s innovative Dual LiquidLoop fanless cooling technology.
