Display

Starting off with the display, as it is the most apparent feature of any laptop. So the screen size of the Acer Swift 5 is slightly larger than the Dell XPS. It comes with a 14 inches screen. 14 inches is not very large, but if you are thinking in minute details, then choosing the Acer swift will be better.

The screen size for the Dell XPS is 13.4 inches. If you are bothered by the screen size and a smaller screen is easier for you to carry, then the Dell XPS can be a good choice for you.

Resolution

It will make you understand which item is suitable for your work. Those working on graphics, like designing and illustration, will always need a laptop with a greater number of pixels. So in comparison, the Dell XPS has more pixels, as it comes with the 3456x2160p, and the Acer Swift 5 has a 1920x1080p resolution.

RAM

The RAM size is also really decisive in understanding how a laptop will make your daily tasks easier for you. The Acer Swift 5 has 16GB RAM. It is a fine RAM choice for anyone, except for the gamers. It is neither too small nor extraordinary.

Then there is the 8GB RAM Dell XPS. It is half of the Acer swift, and if you are into a lot of digital activities, then we would advise you to consider the Acer swift. For a student, however, the 8GB Dell XPS is a good option.

Hard Disk Drive

Storage is an essential part of every laptop, and without noticing it, one cannot make a sound decision about buying. The Dell XPS comes with a basic 256GB storage. Then there is the Acer Swift 5 with 1TB storage.

It is more than enough but extremely suitable for anyone who has to store a huge amount of data or needs to use several applications. In the case of the hard disk drive, one should not take any risks and must always go for the thing of need.

Processor

What would you expect from a  person who did not consider the processor of a laptop and has bought it? Obviously, such a person will be a fool. So to save you from such a thing, read ahead.

In comparison, the Acer Swift 5 has a more advanced processor than the Dell XPS. It comes with an Intel Core i7 11th generation processor, while the other one has the Intel Core i5 11th generation processor. Both are good for the types of tasks that are expected from these devices. However, those who wish to work on an advanced device must go for the Acer Swift 15.

The processor in Acer swift 5 is more advanced mainly because it comes with a higher RAM and a great storage space. So it was imperative for the manufacturers to produce a device with an even more robust processor.

GPU

Here both these laptops come with the same graphic technology. You will not feel much difference, but the real game-changer is the number of pixels. The Acer swift comes with a lower number, so if you wish to work on a device that gives you full freedom to work without any constraint on illustrations and designs, then it would be ideal to go for the Dell XPS. However, both these laptops come with the intel iris Xe graphics.

Battery Life

What would you expect from a  personal or business laptop regarding battery? Of course, we do not need a device that would be on charge every other hour. With gaming laptops, the expectations could have been different, but here, it is normal to expect an eight-hour work time.

The average battery life of the Acer swift is 15 hours, and it depends on the use. If you would continuously use it for internet-related tasks, then it might come down to 8 hours. Then for the heavy-duty tasks, we would suggest having an average 15 hours battery life.

Now coming towards the next option, it is obviously a great choice, but the average battery life is nine hours. So those who do not want a laptop for the entire day must consider the Dell XPS 13.

Looks

As far as looks are concerned, not many people are interested in how their laptop looks except a few. If you are among the lot who are conscious about the way their device appears, then we would suggest you go for the Dell XPS. It has this unique color and a very slim body.

On the contrary, the Acer Swift 5 looks pretty normal, just like your average personal laptop. It is not a different treat from others.

Conclusion:

In my opinion, the Acer Swift 5 is a better option. If you are okay with smaller storage and RAM, then you might go for the Dell XPS 13.
