The ~$900 Swift X model listed on the Acer Thailand site features a Ryzen 5 5500U APU coupled with 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and a 512 GB NVMe SSD, plus it features a 14-inch FHD IPS display connected to an Nvidia GTX 1650 dGPU. There should also be a Ryzen 7 5700U model with 16 GB of RAM for just under $1,000.

Why does Thailand get them before America?
There are 4 scores for the SFX14-41G up on Geekbench 5. Two are with the 5700U and 2 are with the 5800U. The best 5800U score was 1391 single core and 6603 multi-core. The 5700U are not bad at 1138/6740 and 1158/6509.
Well... The 14 inch Lenovo ideapad 5 pro with 5800u and mx450 without OS is 800€ on campus point. But not yet available. It's similar in specs to the acer in the article but this already has the 5800u in exchange for the lower performance gpu.
