The Apple MacBook Pro 14 is one of the best 14-inch laptops you can buy today. The Acer Swift X 14 hopes to challenge it with fast performance and a low price.

If you’re looking for a great 14-inch laptop, the Apple MacBook Pro 14 should be on your shortlist. It’s fast, incredibly well-built, has a great mini-LED display, and enjoys the longest battery life around. It’s also very expensive.

Probably the most relevant MacBook Pro 14 configuration when compared with the Swift X 14’s high-end model is the M3 Pro, 36GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD that runs $2,599. That makes the Swift X 14 a relative bargain by comparison. The MacBook’s Magic Keyboard is also better, if you appreciate shallower switches that are light and snappy and larger keycaps with more key spacing. If you like deeper travel, then the Swift X 14’s keyboard is also good, although its keycaps are smaller and there’s not as much spacing. The MacBook’s Force Touch haptic touchpad is a bigger difference, though, compared to the Swift X 14’s more pedestrian mechanical version.

We tested the Swift X 14 with the RTX 4070. We tested the MacBook Pro 14 with the M3 Max 16/40, and the MacBook Air M3 is put in as a proxy for the base MacBook Pro 14 model, which would be slightly faster given the Pro’s better thermals. In our CPU benchmarks, the M3 Max was much faster across the board. We didn’t run the latest version of the Pugetbench Premiere Pro on the 14-inch MacBook Pro, but the 16-inch model that’s only slightly faster scored 8,046.
