Think it's been $650 on EBay for a while but currently out of stock.

Yes you're correct, I posted a deal on that too. However, that's why I stated "this model".
That's a different model and color. Gold's always been a bit expensive than the mist green. Pretty stupid, I know, but Acer's to blame for that. Lol

So this is the one that was $800? I'd pay $50 for a better color though I prefer the green.

What would you say the value is of having a 12th gen vs 11th gen processor? Seems to be a huge jump in passmark scores between the two generations.

Vast majority of the deals posted are for 11th gen, but I'm thinking I should hold off until back to school season in hopes of catching some newer models on sale.

Ok, so what's wrong with this? Good processor, 16GB RAM, large SSD, USB-C with PD, sizeable battery, lightweight...

I guess the screen at 340-nits (though a touchscreen) isn't the brightest. Otherwise, this system has excellent specs for the price.

How's the build quality on the Swifts?

You can read a review here https://www.notebookcheck.net/Ace...html#toc-7

It seems pretty good. 300 nits is good enough ime as long as you're not working in direct sunlight, which you wouldn't want to anyway since this has a glossy screen.

Possible caveats would be its ram being soldered and the display being glossy (which I actually prefer since it generally looks more crisp than matte displays). My personal gripe would be its poor brightness distribution which would likely trigger my OCD.
