Acer's 14-inch laptop scores some major points thanks to its great battery life, silent operation, keyboard backlight and matte IPS screen. The quad-core Pentium Silver N6000 performs about as well as a Skylate chip. Windows is not included. The whole package cost 279 Euros (~$315).

It's better to buy second hand 2 years old Lenovo ThinkPad for the price than this crappy unit.
Acer is well known for poor durability. That case and hinges cannot handle usage outside 1y warranty period.
Correction: memory is 2x2 GB LPDDR4x in this unit. 2 out of 4 channels are soldered. Your 8 GB unit solders 4 out 4.
Swift 1 and up don't use "single-channel" memory due to how SDRAM economics are right now.
I am writing this on my Acer Swift 1 (2017) with an N4100 processor. It's been a brilliant laptop for me - completely silent, magnificent build quality, 100% sRGB and good battery time. That said, I would never buy a computer of any kind that displays only slightly more than half of the colours, so I will not be upgrading to this one.

My eBay searches show cheapest/refurbished thinkpad 2 years old with warranty is about €600.
Also does the old thinkpad may not have 10 hours battery life / 1.2 kg / wifi 6/ fanless for about €240 new. I do have some old thinkpads/latitudes are work horse (or server) but this is different use case.
