Just a couple of observations from local pricing (from Officeworks in Australia):
.
At AU$500 the Acer is potentially quite attractive to me personally (except that I already have my laptop needs covered for the moment with an older Acer 13.3" N2840 machine, which has a real SSD and 8GB of RAM to compensate for the anaemic CPU though LL makes the most of it's performance).
My main LL machine is a J3455 equipped Intel NUC which has more than adequate performance for the lightweight desktop duties it performs; the N3450 seems to have performance within 10% of the J3455 in most assessments I've found so quite useful performance for the money. Not a gaming machine or heavy video editing platform though...
2 spec items I think it would be useful to have clarified:
- Lenovo Ideapad 120s: AU$400 (N3350/4GB RAM/64GB eMMC/14 in 1366x768/AC WiFi/1.44kg)
- Acer Swift 1 SF113: AU$500 (N3450/4GB RAM/64GB eMMC/13.3 in 1920x108 IPS/AC WiFi/1.3kg)
