I bought this a couple months ago. I'm underwhelmed. The specs are great and it's fairly fast for most tasks, but it has super unreliable WiFi. The connection frequently lags during video calls/streaming/etc and often turns off completely when the computer sleeps. Usually resetting the network adapter fixes it, but sometimes a restart is needed. This was a known issue with the Swift Go 14s too, so disappointing it hasn't been addressed.

Other than that, it's good for the price. But for me, networking issues are a dealbreaker. Shame because it's such a good value on paper.
This looks like an excellent value overall if you want a 16" laptop with lots of CPU power and long battery life for productivity as long as you are not intending to use it for graphics intensive uses like video editing or gaming.

Some details missing from the description:

Soldered RAM, which at 32GB is not such a big concern, but good to know that you're not going to upgrade the RAM.

350-Nits brightness Touchscreen Display which is acceptable, not great and not horrible.

2 thunderbolt 4 ports, so possibly an e-gpu, but then you'd want an external monitor too.

Approximate Weight: 3.53 lbs, so light for a 16" screen.

The main complaints seem to be a squishy keyboard and a mediocre screen.

This compares ARC vs Ryzen 780m IGPU.

This CPU has Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 128EU

Looks like these Arc graphics are similar to 780M.

I ordered it, and hope the WiFi issue mentoined is a one-off with niremetal's unit.

If I really like it and it is not a one-off, I'll just disable the card in device manager and add a USB WiFi stick for $20-30 or return the unit to Costco. I have 90 days for that.

I am not too worried, since there is 2 yrs warranty as well.

I like the power of the CPU, the good battery life, light gaming and fairly light weight of the laptop. On paper it checks most of my boxes.

Good plan. Mine comes next week.
Easy return if I don't like it or something better shows up on BF.

Wifi adapter setting needed some tweaks, it's easy and takes under a min.
Network connections > adapter properties > configure > Advanced >
There are bunch of settings there, send me the config of current and I'll advise the changes
