I've been waiting for the Swift 5 with the 1035G processor to go back under $1000 and noticed the new version. Thought this was a good price for a new 11th generation Intel processor. Usually $1799 on Acer website.
One of the first few 11th gen laptops out there and meets the Intel Evo for what it's worth. Smaller and lighter than the previous one and I might end up just paying the extra. Also has a headphone jack which was lacking in the Asus Zenbook and turned me off it.

The top model is probably a better buy with double the SSD and RAM plus a better processor, for less than $500 extra after cashback.
