It fares well to other Windows machines, but it can’t stand up to the MacBook Pro 16’s Magic Keyboard. The switches have an excellent click and a comfortable bottoming action. The Creator Z17’s keyboard is made by SteelSeries and has deep travel at 1.5mm with good key spacing and keycap size, and there’s per-key RGB lighting that’s incongruous on a non- gaming laptop (but fun nonetheless). Typing on the MacBook Pro 16 is a sublime experience for fast-touch typists, and it’s the least fatiguing keyboard you’ll use. The keycaps are perfectly sized, and there’s just the right amount of key spacing. Now, you get scissor switches that don’t offer the most travel but have an unparalleled snappy and precise mechanism with the perfect bottoming action. Gone is the previous Apple butterfly keyboard with its typing-on-a-block-of-wood feel. You won’t find a better keyboard on a laptop in 2022 than Apple’s Magic Keyboard installed on the MacBook Pro 16. It’s a well-built laptop for sure it’s just not quite in the same class as the MacBook Pro 16. The Creator Z17 is a step behind, with some bending in the lid that gives it less of a solid feel. You’ll find zero bending, flexing, or twisting anywhere in the lid, keyboard deck, or bottom chassis. The MacBook Pro 16 is among the most solidly built laptops you can buy and is arguably the industry leader in build quality. Its venting also differentiates from the MacBook Pro 16, which is better at hiding its intake and exhaust ports, while Apple’s notch in the display is its oddity. There’s no bling here either, although there are more angles and edges to make it stand out from Apple’s simpler design. The Creator Z17 is also constructed from CNC machined aluminum, and it comes in a Lunar Grey (dark grey) color scheme with its own minimalist design. Here’s why Apple’s M3 MacBook chip could destroy its rivalsĪpple’s next MacBooks and iPads could be in serious trouble It’s an iconic design that many laptops have attempted to emulate throughout the years, and it still exudes quality and elegance. But it’s still a MacBook through and through, with the same understated design that eschews any sort of bling and instead looks like it’s chiseled from a solid block of metal (which it is, CNC machined aluminum to be precise). It’s thicker than its predecessors, allowing for an HDMI port, it does away with the Touch Bar that never caught on, and it enjoys more modern (i.e., thinner) display bezels.

The MacBook Pro 16 is one of the newer laptops in Apple’s lineup, and it undoes some of the prior design choices that proved unpopular. A typical Windows laptop lasts between 9 to 10 hours, however, the Swift 14 managed to survive for nearly 12 hours on a single charge (11 hours and 42 minutes).15.04 inches by 10.24 inches by 0.75 inchesġ7-inch 16:10 IPS QHD+ (2560 x 1600) 165Hzġ6.2-inch 16:10 Liquid Retina XDR (3456 x 2234) The M2 MacBook Air has better battery life, but the Swift 14 still holds its ownĪs mentioned at the outset, the MacBooks have been shining stars when it comes to power efficiency, however, for a Windows laptop, the Swift 14’s battery life isn’t half bad. The M2 MacBook Air has a Delta-E color accuracy score of 0.2 (closer to 0 is better), which beats the Swift 14 (0.29). However, the MacBook Air has an edge over the Swift 14 when it comes to color accuracy. The Swift 14 averaged a brightness of 493 nits while the MacBook Air is slightly dimmer (489 nits) - but not by much. Typically, MacBooks tend to be brighter than Windows laptops, but not in this case. When it comes to DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, the Swift 14 is also more colorful, covering 91% of the space compared to the MacBook Air (76%). Display scores for Acer Swift 14 and M2 MacBook Air (Image credit: Future)Īccording to our in-house testing, the Swift 14 covers 128% of the sRGB color gamut, which is much better than the MacBook Air (108%).
