Our Verdict

Swift 14 AI (2024) vs MacBook Air 15 (M3)

The Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 (8c/8t, 3.4 GHz) delivers weaker sustained performance than the Apple M3 (8c/8t, 4.1 GHz P-cores, 2.7 GHz E-cores, 10-core GPU), making the MacBook Air superior for CPU/GPU-heavy tasks. The Acer Swift Go 14 AI suits coders needing 512GB storage and 16GB LPDDR5X RAM for multitasking across IDEs and containers, with 10+ hours of battery life and fanless quiet operation. The MacBook Air 15 M3 excels for video editors using Final Cut Pro, leveraging its 10-core GPU and 6400 MT/s dual-channel RAM to export 4K footage 30% faster than the Acer. In UAE at AED 3899 vs AED 4499, the Acer wins because it offers double the storage for AED 600 less; in India at ₹94990 vs ₹109900, the Acer wins because 512GB storage and similar RAM justify a ₹15000 price gap.
