They reviewed a lower end model. I would suggest you to check the Matthew Moniz YouTube review of this laptop who covered it in very high degree of details:

The Display actually goes brighter than 300 nits, around 330-340 nits.
During normal operation, this laptop is very silent with the fans hardly spinning.
In Short term workloads, it is very powerful, almost beating the 2021 XPS 15 with i7-11800H and 45W RTX 3050 Ti, due to efficiency of the Ryzen Processors.
Acer has released a Firmware Upgrade which enabled the CPU to consume around 35 to 37W sustained power during CPU only workload. Previously it was only 25 to 28 Watt.
Despite having powerful hardware and a small battery, the battery life is actually amazing, 8 Hrs+ with normal usage.
Not sure what you're trying to say here. Slow response time affects only when you're playing games in the laptop. Not sure how playing a video or watching a steam where the frames are not getting rendered, going to get affected by slow response time.
Apart from OLED panels, all the non gaming laptops with IPS panel, have very slow response time, including the highest end ones, like Dell XPS 15. Never heard people saying they are affected by slower response time when watching video.

Superb deal.

Only nitpick is the lack of touchscreen, but that's purely subjective. I'll drool over it (more than I already am) if it did have it.

No, it's soldered as it's LPDDR4x.

This deal has been around on and off for months ($15 less now). I'd want to see another 10% or 20% off, at least.

I had the swift 3 one with the same display. Great laptop but the slow response times on the display made me want to puke when watching video, especially faster stuff like apex streams.

For someone whose priority is not gaming, do you think this laptop [costco.com] is a better deal?

Given the more capable screen (i.e. 16:10, higher resolution, & touchscreen capability)?
