This is an amazing laptop. LOVE the screen, very high quality and I think this is the screen ratio laptops should be coming in.
I got stupidly lucky months ago when Walmart put these on clearance for $199.99 here locally. Was able to snag one via Brickseek. Totally YMMV, as I don't see myself getting that kind of lucky again.
Yes, it is 8GB soldered dual channel ram, so no expansion. With Windows 11, I've seen no issue to have more than 8GB for my needs. Even done some light gaming, design work, etc.
There is a single M2 slot, which houses the initial 512GB drive. I've since upgraded that to a 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus since they've gotten so cheap.
USB-C charging and a mini-barrel plug charger, so plenty of flexibility there.
It is very light, yet very solidly built in my opinion. Aluminum and not plastic.
Nice finger print reader for security and Windows Hello. I think the only thing that'd be an awesome add, is if the screen was touch. But not complaining that it doesn't have it.

I'm guessing the RAM isn't upgradeable since it's LPDDR4X? Would jump on this otherwise
it says 8 with max of 8. i pulled up a repair vid on swift3 and it said all the ram was soldered.
but who really knows? a similar laptop thread also said 8/8 and i found a manufacturer page that said it was soldered, and posted that. somebody said i was spreading disinformation!

Is your laptop 8GB RAM? Do you know if its running in dual channel?

Thank you! 8GB in dual channel is good enough I agree. How's the battery life?

Battery life is excellent, obviously depends on your use, but this thing can easily go 10-12 hours on medium workloads of consistent use. If you're running games constantly, I'd say 8-10 hours; the integrated Xe is no slouch at all. Very easily 12-15 hours for just browsing, videos, open and shut type use.
Also, the Thunderbolt 4 works perfect and as intended for uses like an eGPU. Connected it up to a Razer Core X with an FE 3080 Ti and it becomes a beast for gaming. Also fully charges through that single Thunderbolt cable. So a very nice setup for someone that wants a portable solution with desktop/eGPU functionality.
This or the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 13.3inch AMOLED?
I got the Book 360 deal for $350 but I would get the Acer if I had the choice. I use a mouse and I hate having to use an adaptor. The lack of usc-a ports is annoying. Plus the screen is a little pixilated for text. Fine when watching videos though.
I see laptops everyday on this site with 8gb of ram? On many I'd buy if they just added the ram and increased the price. Adding RAM is usually easy but you can never be positive it's not soldered.
