I've had the Swift Edge for about 6 months and found it to be an excellent LG Gram competitor. Have had lots of Grams (including the Pro 16 with the 3050 - the 2023 IPS version) and find the swift superior overall.

I haven't tried the Swift Edge yet, but I have bought and returned/sold multiple laptops with OLED panels, and they all give me eye strain compared to the LCD panels on my Grams. That is the only thing keeping me from trying the Swift Edge.
The OLED panels look gorgeous, but once you dim them a bit, the PWM flickering causes eye fatigue. I can really tell when I compare a dimmed OLED panel to an IPS side by side. The moment I look at the IPS, my eyes feel better. I have owned the following OLED laptops: Samsung Galaxy Book Pro (15.6" 1080p 60Hz), Lenovo Thinkbook 14p (14" 2.8k 90Hz), Asus Zenbook (14" 120Hz), LG Gram Style (14" 90Hz), HP Pavillion Plus (14" 120Hz). I have played with a few 16" OLED laptops in stores and noticed PWM flickering at low brightness levels, but haven't owned one of those or used them long enough to notice eye strain. Most OLED panels have no issues above certain brightness levels, and definitely at 100% brightness, but I tend to use laptops in dimly lit areas in addition to brightly lit rooms, so eye fatigue instantly makes them a no go for me.
