  Does this utilize PWM?

    Memory yes, storage is not only upgradeable but it has a free slot too

      Yep, two M.2 slots. (I have plugged an Optane 16gb module as a dedicated pagefile drive into my second slot - benefit of doing this is questionable, though!)

  Seems like an epic shame to share a very powerful iGPU with only 8gb of ram. Even some light gaming, you'll run into ram/vram issues here.

    The XE MAX dGPU has dedicated 4GB VRAM. But there are other problems (driver-related) that really pull it down at this time.

  I have an Acer Swift, after nearly a year, the unit already had charging and battery issues.

  With Apple having abandoned Intel their laptops are tumbling in price.

  Don't bet on the XE MAX being a good dGPU option (compared to AMD SOCs or just the plain XE iGPU) - drivers are NOT mature, and it doesn't look like ACER will be updating them anytime soon. I have been posting to both ACER and Intel support forums about this issue - see https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/607072 for more details.

  For over $1000, I'd want the XE MAX (with its dedicated 4GB VRAM) to be working flawlessly for gaming - and it's far from that. Reverting back to XE graphics only is a sort-of solution (the 1165G7 iGPU is really very very similar to the XE MAX after all), but then you are sharing system memory, at with no expansion possibility, and I'd be very hesitant. Right now, you're probably better off going with a XE (non-MAX) solution - that is, pay less for XE, and substitute XE MAX for an extra 8GB RAM. Or a MX350.

  For content-creators/trancoders, the XE MAX seems to be a beast IF your software is optimised for XE MAX/DEEP-LINK. If not - you might as well just go with an 8-core AMD SOC. If I'm not mistaken, there are plenty of options at this price-point.
