Summer of 2022 the similarly spec'ed Asus Zenbook (intel i5 1240p - https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/f...gen-intel/) was $500 at best buy. A year and a half later Acer sells this with a 12500H for the same price.
It's not a bad deal, maybe even a good deal. But for the use cases of this laptop, you can wait for a better deal to popup. I can't speak to the quality of Acer laptops, but the two Asus Zenbooks I've had have been awesome quality.
The Swift 3 is consistently rated one of the top (if not the top) low-price-tier laptops of the last four years. It has nothing to do with Acer vs Asus and everything to do with direct reviews of machines.
Also compare e.g. the Lenovo Pro 7 Slim this month with worse specs (critically, the screen) for $440 open box.

Some models of the Swift 3 have additional SODIMM slots to add RAM, but this model -- SF314-71-51NN -- only has what's soldered. (It does however, have a 2nd gen-4 m.2 slot). Per Rtings review[rtings.com].
