- The Aero lasted 3 to 4 hours on battery, and the G14 last 7 to 8 hours doing the exact same office type tasks.
- The Aero had a low wattage 4050 (similar to this Acer Swift X), and I could not get Time Spy to register a score better than about 5,500. The G14 with 4060 is almost exactly double that.
- The Aero chassis heated up under full load even more than the G14. Plus, with G-Helper and Ryzen, I'm able to tame the g14's thermals while keeping performance above 10K.
- The Aero's oled screen was definitely a little nicer, and its chassis is thinner and lighter. (Not fully applicable to this Acer Swift X, I understand)
To be fair, you can't pick up a 2023 4060 G14 for under $700... But if they go open box on sale again for $8-$900 at Best Buy, jump on it. There's just a massive performance difference between a low-power 4050 and a low-ish power 4060.

This is basically the best budget option I've seen if you absolutely NEED a fast refresh OLED screen with a dGPU. Main downsides are weaker performance and increased heat/noise due to single fan design, and mediocre battery life. If you don't care about OLED and are fine with fast refresh IPS screens, there are definitely better options. I'll give it a shot and if the tradeoffs are too much will return it (30 day free returns).

Every listing on eBay is different so you have to pay attention.

Thanks for the warning on 4050. I have two 3050 laptops and while they're a huge step up from Iris Xe, I find them lacking even in isometric games. Will get a 4060 next time.
Aren't a lot of creators also gamers?
