The Seattle-based retailer is offering the 15.6-inch Acer Switch 3 (opens in new tab) with Intel’s newest CPU for $664.99. That’s $35 off and the least expensive laptop we’ve seen with an 8th-gen Core processor. The Swift 3 is a midrange laptop that trades in the traditional plastic chassis for a sleek aluminum one. This configuration features a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS LCD, 1.6GHz Core i5-8250U quad-core processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. The base Core i5-8250U CPU found inside this laptop is equivalent to the base Core i5-7200U. The major difference is that the new processor packs four cores, which should make it more suitable for multitasking. According to Intel, its new processors will boost performance by up to 40 percent. The 14-inch Acer Swift features a 14-inch 1080p IPS LCD, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD.
