Great, less fingerprints on your screen!
Acer seems like better specs, but the $345 dell has upgradable ram, bigger battery, and micro SD, and a fingerprint reader on the power button which the acer doesn't have. Acer has a separate fingerprint reader that IS NOT the power button.
Build quality may be similar, although the acer says it has an all metal chassis and weighs 2.65lbs. Dell $345 weighs 3lbs(because bigger battery).
I can spend the extra $50 on the dell to get 16gb ram, and the spec for the average non intensive user for this dell becomes more favorable than the acer.
Both the Acer and dell are 4core cpu.
Pros for acer: better cpu(but for this price point for users, i3-1125g4 vs i5-1135g7 probably doesn't matter), all metal chassis, thunderbolt 4, bigger SSD
Cons for acer: smaller battery, no upgradeable ram
Pros for dell: bigger battery, $55 cheaper(which can be used to bring the ram up to 16gb), micro sd reader, windows 11(Acer has windows 10, but can be upgraded)
Cons: smaller SSD, slightly slower cpu(but I feel that for users looking at these two, the cpu wouldn't be a deciding factor for most use cases and I would put more emphasis on battery life)

Also the Dell screen details are not listed but it's probably 250 nits 45% NTSC vs 300 nits 72% NTSC for the Acer.
Overall I'd pick the Acer any day.

The one thing I can't get over is the lack of brightness on the screen. I wish it was just a little brighter. Haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or not given how good the price was ($315 after CB). If I use an external monitor then it's really not a deal breaker unless I primarily use it for what it is, a portable on the go laptop which is what I bought it for. We'll see.
