Pros and Cons

Apple MacBook Air 13

Strengths

Same industrial design we've seen since about 2010 but it's aging well, still one of the most attractive looking ultra books on the market
Has a lot of space to work with (about 86 gigs free) after installing Adobe CS 5.5 and other software
Can play Diablo 3 at 25-21 frames per second, making it possible to play some games, even if not for serious gaming
Speakers are quite nice and can run iTunes on just fine and play iTunes video and iTunes HD video without a problem
Photoshop runs smoothly with quick image analysis, rotation, and other filters
Haswell CPU refresh and Intel HD 5000 graphics provide good performance for general use
Pretty darn nice to have about almost 100 gigs free out of the box

Weaknesses

Not a serious gaming machine, but still has some limitations (e.g. turning up fans when playing demanding games)
Noise from fan when playing demanding games
Fan can get quite loud and kick in quickly when running demanding tasks or games
Texture quality is high, shadow quality is medium, physics is high, cluster density is high with anti-aliasing turned on may be too much for the MacBook Air to handle
Turning off anti-aliasing and reducing settings helps performance but makes graphics less pretty
Can't run demanding games at high framerates (only 25-21 FPS)
May have some limitations in terms of graphical power, especially when running demanding games

Acer Enduro N3

Strengths

Build quality is really good, this is really solidly built it does not feel cheap at all um and i like that.
The laptop has a 13 hour battery life which is insane.
I love the IO ports are really good
Having a memory card reader built into it is amazing for utilizing dslr cameras.
It's very durable but water resistant dust resistant you like it has mechanisms in it so if you do accidentally spill anything on it or it gets wet that it can expel the water and still work perfectly fine as well as the upgradability
The laptop is a very solid piece of tech for the price is right

Weaknesses

It has limitations and issues such as the need to overcome some of them
Minus the shortcomings it's a very solid piece of tech
The camera could be improved upon that i personally feel the next revision is going to just knock out of the park
Some features couldn't improve upon that i personally feel the next revision is going to just knock out of the park
It has a few shortcomings and issues that need to be addressed
The laptop doesn't excel in any particular area, it's more about what it can do rather than how well it does it
