These scores are calculated by AI based on the number of positive and negative mentions for each category.
| Category | Score | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Life | +2 | Positives: Long battery life claims such as up to 21 hours (Swift Edge 14 AI), up to 16 hours (Swift Go AI), and up to 28 hours video playback on Snapdragon variant. Concerns: Battery might be shorter on high AI workloads; variation among CPU versions. |
| System Performance | +3 | Positives: Claims of 58% faster than M3 MacBook Air, outperforming MacBook Air M4 in multi-core benchmarks, Intel Core Ultra 200V processors with NPU, Snapdragon X, AMD Ryzen AI options, multiple CPU variants providing options. Concerns: Marketing uses outdated comparisons, some AI features in preview may impact stability. |
| Hardware | +4 | Positives: Ultra-light, premium magnesium-aluminum chassis, Military Grade MIL-STD 810H compliance, first with Corning Gorilla Matte Pro screen, OLED 3K displays, high refresh rates up to 120 Hz, multiple I/O ports, biometric fingerprint, and privacy shutters. Concerns: No explicit user upgrade/repair info, unclear touchscreen inclusion, varying Bluetooth versions in CPU variants, some price premium and regional availability issues. |
| Software | +1 | Positives: Proprietary AI apps (AcerSense, LiveArt 2.0, PurifiedView 2.0, PurifiedVoice 2.0), AI features like Recall and Click to Do, Windows Recall support, improved Windows Search. Concerns: AI features mostly in preview, limited info on software update lifespan/stability, and early maturity of AI software features. |
| Security | 0 | Positives: Biometric fingerprint reader, privacy shutters, Microsoft Pluton security processor available on AMD models. Concerns: Security features not deeply discussed; Pluton absent on Snapdragon models; overall limited info on dedicated AI workflow security. |
| Privacy | +1 | Positives: Privacy shutters mentioned; fingerprint reader for biometric security adds privacy protection. Concerns: None explicitly stated. |
| Reliability | -1 | No explicit crashes or reliability issues mentioned positively; concerns about software/AI features in preview possibly affecting stability; Windows Recall support in preview, possibly impacting software stability; immature AI features flagged. |
