I know HN is the only one (to my knowledge) who is currently stocking the new Acer Swift, but the price seems like pretty good for the new panther lake intel chips WITH B390 iGPU if you don't want to wait.
It has:
OLED 500 nits 120hz 16' touchscreen
Does NOT come with a pen but can be purchased with one (it works on the trackpad if you care)
Not a 2-in-1
Don't know if there's any secret deals on these new panther lake laptops that I haven't seen but it doesn't look like it?
i called Harvey Norman to ask about pen inclusion and they said they sold a couple at full price (3kish)
I'm sure a few oldies got conned into buying them at that price, along with a premium subscription to Norton, plus Harvey's own add-on warranty, yes.
$2.4k for Acer is no bargain.
AI?
Doesn't seem like a deal just the market rate
Get one for the price of two! Typical Harvey.
Hoping for a panther lake pricing error from officeworks like they did when lunar lake launched :D I'm dreaming though. This is a decent price subject to build quality - I appreciate you posting it.
I think this is a deal since the equivalent MSI sells for $28xx. (but with a 2Tb SSD and NO number pad on a 16inch).
The swift is on the higher specs so actually not a bad machine (according to all the reviews that I can find).
Although every review says the pen is not worth it since it is only for touchpad
is this actually a bargain or just launch pricing?
