Apple fans, I know you’re just minding your business, but I want to cause chaos — total pandemonium — among you all. The Acer Swift 14, ladies and gentlemen, is better and cheaper than the M2 MacBook Air, making the Apple laptop a foolish, ill-advised purchase for most people. Yeah, I said it! Are your nostrils flaring? Is steam coming out of your ears?
Well, if it’s any solace, there is one thing that the MacBook Air gets right in this face-off against the Swift 14: power efficiency. The Apple laptop lasts about two hours longer on a single charge compared to its Acer rival, but as you’ll find out, the Swift 14 still lasts quite long on a charge for a Windows laptop. (Let’s be honest, macOS laptops have been crushing Windows in the runtime race, but the Swift 14 surprisingly holds its own.)
