Acer Swift 14 AI

The Swift 14 AI is an unflashy machine that gets the fundamentals right: a bright 14.5-inch 2.8K touchscreen, a metal chassis at 1.3 kg, and battery life that clears a working day. Acer's pricing usually undercuts equivalent Dell and HP configurations, which is the main argument for it. The keyboard is shallow but accurate, and the trackpad is large. Speakers are its weakest point. A sound recommendation if you want current-generation efficiency and a good screen without paying a brand premium.
