Apple MacBook Pro (2021) vs Acer Swift X

With the high performance and the HDR panel, the new MacBook Pro 16 is mainly designed for content creators, who might benefit from an upgrade to one of the optional M1 Max chips if they need more RAM and/or more GPU performance. If you are not sure whether you need the upgrade, you will probably be fine with the M1 Pro. Unlike the MBP 14, the larger MBP 16 does not offer slower versions of the M1 Pro, so it is easier to choose the right SKU for you.

I am still giving 3 stars for Swift X since power is there, ryzen 5800u is very usable, size and weight are quite good, although appearance is kind an old fashion, storage includes second ssd, screen is good, 3050ti is surprisingly powerful, I tried VR mixed reality and it was just fine... until today I got BSOD, which I did not have in years, after chrome did not want to play videos across YouTube, Facebook and any other web page

Now I've been using the MacBook Pro 16 with M1 Max as my full-time video editor machine for the past few months to see how it stacks up so here's my f...

For around $1000 i recommend the latest Asus ZenBook 14 or HP Envy 14 for something lighter and better build quality. For processing power, Acer Swift X

So you have the fast charging already if you want it, but I found that the 16-inch with the 100-watt-hour battery lasts a bit longer than the 14-inch ...

The touch pad is also very solid with a smooth surface and accurate tracking. Could be a little larger possibly but is fine for the size of the laptop. Battery Life- Battery life is pretty good for this segment. Could probably find better at a similar price but given the hardware in this laptop it is plenty good I'd say

The best way to break these price zones are to shop sales for new computers, or to buy older, used, or retail open box computers.

I might be wrong, but GF66 is the cheapest gaming laptop with 3050 card (I think other than Acer Swift X) so good pick

And for the 16-inch, honestly, it does not feel unwieldy to me at all. In fact, I got used to the size right away and anything smaller actually felt t...

Inside, you will find the Acer Swift 3 itself, a slightly larger power supply, power cable, a few small inserts and a custom amazon.com insert with a special support system for amazon only buyers. First impressions: Having used much larger and beefier laptops and notebooks over the years and recently what I would consider a small 15.6" ~4lb Acer Swift 3, the even smaller size of this 14" Acer Swift 3 really left me impressed
