Apple's MacBook Air will face some formidable competition this summer.

The Acer Swift X is a 14-inch laptop that’s seven-tenths of an inch thick and weighs about three pounds, yet packs Nvidia’s RTX 3050 Ti graphics card to deliver solid performance in modern AAA games. It will retail for $899 with 512GB of storage, a full $100 less than the entry-level MacBook Air.

"It's sleek, it looks good, the price is really good for what you get," Eric Ackerson, senior product marketing manager for Acer America, said in a telephone interview. "It has enough processing power, from the CPU and GPU together, to not only create content, but to play games comfortably."

I can't quote Swift X benchmark results since it won't hit store shelves until late June, but the hardware is a known quantity, so an educated guess is possible.
