Can't you at least review smart watches, and not this junk every single day please?

Back in 2018 when I made the purchase of this unit I was hopeful that it would replace my 2014 E15-521-66SN unit. I was a little disappointing in the specs this swift had . First of all only 4 gigs of ram Soldered on board and EEMc hardrive But with expandable SSD hard drive to add on storage. Well again a failure to not be able to switch from the EEMc drive to the SSD and the bios could not see it so who knows what the heck was going on ... It did come with Windows 10 and I had issues with that as well SO I wiped it completely and put Linux mint on it and Success, Its my new laptop with a touch of Mint.
The Battery is not bad in the unit and is a bit shorter in life because of Linux but thats the trade off. As long as you are not playing video's in to many tabs the ram can handle it pretty good / Two tabs at most then the ram starts to run out and Swap takes over to help but that really slows down to load video on you tube... Simple things like E-mail and sites to research things to buy are what this unit can handle best.. The Internet has become to over burdening with all this AI garbage and is really going to mess things up - and computers with minimal ram won't be able to cope ... In this day and age you need minimum of DDR4 to DDR5 ram and So-dim type where you can upgrade when needed and a 8core processor minimum. It's a shame that the Swift1 fails in this regard - Acer had a good thing going with this design but blew it miserably with a toy like type build. If they would Stop copying apple and make there units better then Acer would have a winner here but get a D rating for trying and need massive improvement / Lenovo E595 is my replacement of Acer and I'm afraid Acer gets a failing recommendation because of being to cheap. Plastic frames are another problem with Acer's newer units as I have a 2023 Aspire 3 and not even a year went by and a crack formed on the upper casing just outside of the USB type A port...Linux Mint is the only thing that saved this little Acer Swift1 from the trash bin ...     

I got tired of chasing the next great chip only to be disappointed. Intel has a lot riding on Panther Lake but if you have to spend two grand or more that will significantly lower interest. I could buy a MacBook Pro M5 for less which is kind of scary when you think about Apple maybe having the better value if you don't need Windows. It does sound like Panther Lake won't do much for the mainstream under a grand notebooks.
