Disassembly video if you want to know what's upgradable (I haven't watched it yet).

Battery life ~11 hours (web browsing, video playback).
Looks like a nice system. Only box it doesn't tick for me is that it doesn't seem to have power delivery over USB-C (power the laptop via USB-C, meaning you only need to bring one charger for your laptop, phone, tablet, and other stuff when you travel). Well, that and this is the first laptop I've seen since the 1990s which literally looks like a brick.

Is it just price gatekeeping, to force people that know better to spend more money?

Swift 3 is better. Metal chassis, Thinner, quiet and this model is powered via USB C. Downside is that acer certified refurbished is a toss up with what you get. Could be like new or scratch & dent.
