Ryzen version has:
- 5800u (8c/16t) 10-25w power
- 3050 Ti
- LPDDR4x (4267 mhz)
- 14" 16:9 1080p 100% sRGB
- No thunderbolt
- Battery life average is 12 hours (from Amazon page)
** Apparently it does have USB C charging, but it's not mentioned on Amazon's website. The intel version page does. 🤷 ♂️

Intel version has:
- 1260p (4pc, 8ec , 16t) 28w-64w power
- 3050 (non-Ti)
- LPDDR5 (can't find the actual speed)
- 14" 16:10 2k 100% sRGB
- Thunderbolt and usb c charging.
- Battey life not specified anywhere, but safe to assume that it's less than the Ryzen by a fair amount.

Cpu performance is about the same, but Ryzen sips power: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/comp...4707vs4102

3050 Ti is about 8% more powerful than a 3050: https://youtu.be/Y_t6f_Bu2y8

Acer Swift X Refurb (5800u, 3050 Ti) is $774.39 after 12% off in cart.

Wait, the 2021 Swift X doesn't charge over USB-C? Are you sure? But I agree that this seems a sideways leap into 2022.

It does charges over USB-C and it is a full functional 10 Gbps (3.1 Gen 2) Type-C Port. That information is wrong. given in the post.

I thought these alder lake cpus are good with battery life? I just got Lenovo yoga 7i 16in 2k screen and the battery life is average at best with the i5 12th gen.

What does a sideways leap into 2022 mean? Is that a good thing or a bad thing??

You thought it wrong and should have checked reviews before assuming that. Alder Lake even has worse power consumption and efficiency than 11th Gen Tiger Lake and the battery life is abysmal compared to Ryzen 5000 and 6000 series laptops, most of the time with far bigger battery than Ryzen models.
