For those still interested in a lightweight 15in laptop. Theres still the i7 chip version at JB $1529. Not as cheap as the i5 which is now out of stock.
Was $1799

JB are having a run out of these. Just purchased for $1274 as mentioned it was this price previously as their price match with Amazon. You could even try $1250 or lower with sales staff. Some stock still available for cash/efpos transaction to get this extra low price. Normally $1549 at JB. Has been a lot higher at previous times and stores.

Weighing less than 1kg, the elegant Swift 5 combines ultimate portability with smooth usability. A unique blend of alloys deliver an impressively light yet durable design, while enhanced display features ensure you receive a best-in-class visual experience.

  Pretty decent option if you want a super-light 15"

  According to NotebookCheck's review of the 15 inch i7+16GB+512GB variant:-

  • The Type-C port includes DisplayPort-via-USB-C functionality (with an adapter that has to be purchased separately). The notebook can also be recharged via this port - we tried.

  • The SSD cannot be exchanged for a faster model, as the storage device is firmly soldered onto the motherboard. However, the Swift 5 does have another free M.2 2280 slot that can be connected to a suitable SSD. This slot only accepts NVMe SSDs; we tried connecting a SATA III model without success.

  • The RAM is firmly soldered on.

  This laptop is useful for any home or work flow activities. The large touch screen makes it very easy to have multiple applications up for research. There is also a i7 with 16G, 512G SSD, but don't believe it is on sale. Plus its a lot more.

  For the price its great if you want a large screen and light for travelling laptop.

  I am tempted to get it, but just trying to figure out how to get it on an interest free deal.

    Try Harvey Norman store to see if they have any and can at least match jb online price. Still reasonable at $1316. Assume they won't go lover as listed as $1598 online HN

      HN says they won't price match with interest free if the other retailer doesn't offer interest free.
