Pros and Cons

Acer TravelMate P2

Strengths

The laptop is light, compact, yet powerful and portable enough to use on the go.
It has a good display with clear and bright image, excellent viewing angles, and anti-glare coating.
The battery life is good, lasting around 7-8 hours, making it ideal for college or travel use.
The laptop is secure, durable, and has excellent connectivity options.

Weaknesses

The laptop might not be the best choice for professional video editing due to its integrated graphic card.
The bottom bezel is noticeably thick compared to the sides.
The keyboard doesn't have a lot of extra features beyond backlit keys and caps lock indicator.
The price of the variant with Intel i7, 16GB Ram, and 512GB SSD is around ₹99,000, which might be high for some buyers.

Apple MacBook Pro 13

Strengths

The MacBook Pro 13 with 16GB of RAM feels like a totally different machine, like a PRO and non-Pro laptop. With an extra 8 GB of RAM I am witnessing a totally different machine.
The battery life is excellent, lasting for ages even when editing or playing games. The 20 hours of claimed battery life is no joke with all M1 battery-powered machines.
The panel is plenty bright and colour-accurate, making it suitable for creative work such as graphic design and video edits.
The speakers are great and deliver satisfying results, although not as immersive as other options.

Weaknesses

8GB of RAM may be insufficient for resource-hungry tools and tasks, leading to hesitation and slowness when needed most.
CleanMyMac X often needs to remind you to free up disk space and memory resources, which can become a daily habit.
The baseline 8GB M1 MacBook Pro is snappy in basic tasks but becomes hesitant and slow when working with resource-hungry tools.
The need for frequent restarts and force quitting can be frustrating and may compromise work efficiency.
