Intel Core i5-1340P benchmarks at a score of 21241 on cpubenchmark.net, which is higher than that of some of the lower-tier i7 benchmarks. I would say that is about average. Nothing too low, but nothing super powerful.
This makes me want to cancel the swift x from the Amazon invite. Better cpu, ppi, no proprietary charger, storage. For the swift x its only gpu which I don't game on my laptop.
Thinking of cancel the swift too. This is touch screen.
I considered getting both and trying them out before deciding. Unfortunately Amazon fine print shows can only return an unopened box unless it's doa. I cancelled the swift since this deal shows more productivity leaning laptop deals can meet or exceed the swift x.
Pros:
It is lightweight and CNC-alumium case(?) gives off an Apple-like vibe. It feels and touches like a MacBook Air
The fingerprint reader is fast and convenient, especially since I prefer not to keep the camera always on.
The i5-1340P is sufficient for video streaming and office work, and efficient enough to not generate excessive heat.
The 65W charger is tiny and portable.
The screen is fabulous with bright and vivid colors. However, please note that it has a glossy finish.
Cons:
The charger cord is relatively short compared to the average length.
When dissipating heat, the laptop emits a high-pitched fan noise. Personally, I found this noise bothersome and ended up returning the laptop. However, it is worth mentioning that the noise level itself is low, it's just the pitch that I didn't like.
Realize that the battery life still suffers despite coming with a P-series Intel 13th gen CPU, strikingly less battery life than the 70+ watt Whr battery which comes in the cheaper ASUS Zenbook 14x with the H series processor

That's typical Lenovo, also after a year or so, the battery will show accelerated signs of wear. The notorious power button will wear off as well rendering it functional-less
