Ever since Apple launched the MacBook Neo, laptop manufacturers have been releasing new machines to compete around the $700 price point. We recently saw Dell enter that space with the student-focused 14S, and now Acer has announced another lightweight Windows laptop at IFA Berlin called the Swift Blade 14. The new 14-inch laptop weighs 799 grams, or 1.76 pounds, and measures 12.9mm thick. That makes it considerably lighter than the 2.7-pound MacBook Neo, while the difference in thickness is relatively small. Acer has not announced pricing yet, so it is too early to determine how closely the Swift Blade 14…

Huawei’s Watch GT line has always lived somewhere between a traditional smartwatch and a fitness tracker. With the Watch GT 7 Pro, however, Huawei seems to have made a choice: less dress watch, more adventure companion. I’ve been wearing the GT 7 Pro for a handful of days, putting it through workouts, cycling rides, sleep tracking, and plenty of ordinary day-to-day use. My early takeaway is that this is a watch that knows exactly what it wants to be. It isn’t trying to win a feature-for-feature battle with an Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch. Instead, it is leaning hard into…
Apple’s MacBook Neo has given inexpensive Windows laptops a new benchmark to chase, and Dell is now putting forward the Dell 14S as one of its answers.
