Looking for slim, lightweight laptop - or Chromebook?

Swift 3 review

"That brings me to the display, which is the biggest compromise you’ll be making if you choose the Swift 3. In testing, the 1920 x 1080 panel reproduced an underwhelming 65 percent of the sRGB spectrum and only hit 218 nits of brightness."

Poor screen. Don't just look at the processor..

Nice.

Surprisingly (to me at least) it's the same thickness and slightly heavier than the Swift. So apart from having a better screen - and 'touch' at that - it seems to hold no advantages. :-(

There are a couple of good Dell deals with codes on Hotukdeals which could be worth looking at.

Just do a search on Dell and select the result with their blue logo

Any reason why not? https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0953XHQM1?tag=laptopmcom-21&th=1

Ryzen 5, 8GB, 512GB. Less than 14mm thick, and around 1.1kg.

Cheers.

• Weight might vary by specifications. For instance, 1-watt panel weighs 1.13 kg. 250 nits panel weighs 1.22 kg.

Good all round specification. Screen could be brighter, but okay.

Thanks.

Yes, there's little in it overall.

I've passed the options to my bro, with the suggestion he checks them all out in person, so it's now up to him.

Cheers all.

Thanks Cisco. He needs the extra inch, I'm afraid, and a slightly bigger screen too.
