Happy I purchased
I have had my new computer for a couple days now, but first I want to share what happened. I Purchased my computer as a same-day delivery. it was a fast delivery and came as expected. I was excited to get it. I took everything out of the packaging and followed all the instructions. When it came to connecting to the Internet I had issues. I followed the instructions on how to fix it it’s still wouldn’t connect I had to other devices that were connected to the Internet with no issues. so at this point, I called the number given in case there was connection problems. It was an automated machine asking for the SNID number. I put that number in and the automated system said that this product was no longer under warranty. Of course, my first thought was what the hell I just got it today. So at this point, I spoke to a live person who transferred me to the company, ACER. I spoke with a very nice gentleman, and gave him the SN ID number as well as the serial number. Come to find out the computer warranty expired in 2019. This was a refurbished device that sold as new. It was counterfeit. To no fault of Amazon. I was told to call Amazon back as he was unable to transfer me and once again, I explained my story. The customer service rep was named Rocky and he was absolutely awesome. He was very apologetic and said I was handling it well he gave me some options and I chose to have it replaced, I received a new computer the following day by 7:15 in the morning . I’m sharing this as I want people to be aware that this can happen and of course it happens to me. Amazon customer service was awesome.Now, for my review, I had my old computer for years and years, which was a dell. This new computer is fast and I really like it so far. The only thing I don’t care for is the screen is not as bright as my dell was. It’s very lightweight and will be perfect for what I use it for. The sound volume is fine. I basically bought a new one due to the fact windows 7 was on its way out, I needed an upgrade. So far I’m happy with my purchase.

Great for the price
Got this for my Mom who was looking for a simple computer. It doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles like many of the gaming laptops out there but that is not what she needed. The battery life is great. She uses it all the time and it takes care of her basic needs like email, streaming and photos. It was affordable as well considering some of the others out there!

Great laptop, add SSD card for smoother gaming.
I purchased this to play OSRS with HD graphics and was not dissappinted. The laptop came with Wibdows 11 Pro installed and not in S mode as advertised which was a personal relief for me. Graphics card performs beautifully. Only thing I found neccesary was updating the SSD card for increased loading speeds and to reduce any lag that may occur. Works like a gem. GREAT budget gaming laptop

Great Linux Laptop
Even if this laptop isn’t on sale it’s would be a great price. Windows S is a joke, like WTF is in their Windows Store that’s worth a crap? I upgraded(?) to Windows11 only to find out it’s also 100% useless garbage. After the 3rd day it was updating something, even Acer wanted to update their Windows Bloatware. I switched out the piddly 128gb drive for a Crucial 500gb, turned off safe boot (what ever MS wants to call it) put a password on the bios and Installed my favorite KDE Linux Distro. I tried 4 distro’s just to sure, Arch, Fedora, OpenSUSE and Debian. They all ran perfect and actually ran better than Windows 11 or that S junk. If you want an inexpensive Linux Laptop that runs just as well as the $1200 Linux laptops, this is it. I have nothing but good to say about this.

It Does What You Need
My MSI gaming laptop spontaneously died (after five years to be fair) and I got this thing as a replacement to be able to do my schoolwork. I was looking for something cheap and functional. I think this laptop fits the bill. It can handle the day to day tasks and unless you’re looking to run some pretty beefy programs this will do what you need it to do. Right now I have 18 tabs open in Chrome and it’s running just fine. The fan CAN get a little noisy if I’m streaming audio or video on discord, but most of the time it’s silent. I haven’t taken advantage of any upgrades yet, but, as other reviews mentioned, I’m glad to have the capability if I decide I want more storage or memory.I didn’t have any problem turning S mode off. I managed to get my setup pretty much exactly how I wanted.The speakers and camera are about what you’d expect for the price point – a little grainy but workable.The only complaint I have with mine after a month is an occasional, soft buzzing from the monitor. Very quiet but definitely noticeable. (Addendum: The trackpad is also slightly wider than I think is necessary and sometimes the base of my thumb will change the mouse position while I’m typing)Overall, unless you’re a CS student who needs lots of parallel processing capability or a gamer running any game released after 2010, this will cut it. Gaming laptops seem like a waste of space, so I’m glad to have this for my day to day and to invest in a desktop machine for my gaming needs.

Needed a new laptop because I was starting a job from home. This laptop is perfect. Easy to use. Easy to set up. I usually have it plugged in so I’m not sure about the battery life, but so far, I’ve had zero issues. I love it.

Great value
Surprisingly good laptop for $300. Great for web, productivity, and less demanding games.FYI: Windows will be in S mode, which provides greater security, but only allows installation of applications from the Microsoft Store. You can easily switch from S to normal Windows, just search the MS Store for “switch out of S mode”.

Everything I was looking for
Pretty good laptop. Will make a really good school or low level gaming laptop compared to latest games.It came with a 128gb 800mbps m.2 drive that was slow for windows 11 so upgraded it to 1tb 3500mbps m.2 drive. There are mixed reviews and info even from the manufacturer on if it has a extra ram slot or not but this one does not have one. All the ram is soldered to the motherboard and needs to be taken to an Acer shop in order to upgrade. Out of the box it used 6/8gb of ram at first then after the updates it dropped down to 4/8gb used. The system is pretty fast for only having 4gb free. The processor is the main feature I ordered it for since it is a 4core-8thread processor with speed ranging from 2.5ghz to 4.3ghz. After trying some more power demanding games the temp could still not pass 50c and stays quiet and cool to touch. It normally stays idle around 41c when not under a heavy load with no sound from the fans. The screen is decent quality but not meant for games since it’s LCD and not being led the games get a bit of blur here and there with higher fps. Word of advice is when installing a different operating system the WiFi drivers do not reinstall with the system so any online activation is almost useless unless you have a usb-ethernet adapter. The battery lasts me around 6 hours in performance mode but in power saving mode could possibly last 9+ hours and way longer with some power setting tweaks. The graphics says 600mb dedicated and 3400mb shared but unlike a lot of systems all the shared moves straight to dedicated making it 4gb for the graphics. The value is pretty good and the appearance is slick. My older brother was checking it out and thinking of buying one now because of how well it does. Some upgrades to look into if you know what your doing is a new m.2 drive with a faster transfer rate and also possibly an upgraded 15.6inch screen that’s 1080p-4k.

Amazed By This Cheap Laptop (1 Month in)
If you were like me, looking for a college laptop that would not break the bank, look no further. I am literally writing this review on this laptop in class.I just wanted a (Windows) laptop that I can code on and do a couple assignments while on campus. I never have to worry about the battery dying on me unless it was already really low. It is surprisingly fast but obviously not as fast as a $2000 laptop. Fast enough I would say.Right out of the box, I was instantly very surprised at how good quality everything felt and looked. It is actually pretty large in size but not cumbersome. But as I keep using it I do have some nitpicks about it:- The screen portion is pretty bendable to the point where I feel like you can easily break it. Now I don’t know who would do that on purpose but you should watch out.- No backlight on keyboard makes it hard to see keys in low light.- Keyboard feels sort of hollow. Probably because it is cheap.- Fan is noticeably loud, say if the class is quiet. But I do prefer it to be cool and be a little bit loud than it be hot.- Fan ramps up randomly. Like I could have a simple assignment up with 2 tabs open and it could kick on for some reason even though the workload is not much. Then other times I have a bunch of tabs and another application open but it will stay silent.Other than that it is perfect if you need a cheap laptop to get some work done at school or code like me. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic, basic laptop
I was looking for a few things and this laptop had them. Display over USB C, a decent amount of RAM and Storage, low price. Usually you don’t get all three. It does come with Windows 11S but it can run full Windows 11 once you take it out of S mode.The only thing I wish it had was a better charger, but it can use USB C to charge so I’m not worried, and a backlit keyboard.

Pleasantly Surprised
As a system admin, I wasn’t expecting much with this. Basically, the bottom of the bottom laptops, but man was I wrong about this thing. it is amazing. I haven’t had any slowness with any performance issues with surfing the internet, watching movies or anything like that. The fan comes on a little bit every once in a while and the speakers aren’t that great, but other than that, this thing is definitely a winner.

But as I keep using it I do have some nitpicks about it:- The screen portion is pretty bendable to the point where I feel like you can easily break it. Now I don’t know who would do that on purpose but you should watch out.- No backlight on keyboard makes it hard to see keys in low light.- Keyboard feels sort of hollow. Probably because it is cheap.- Fan is noticeably loud, say if the class is quiet. But I do prefer it to be cool and be a little bit loud than it be hot.- Fan ramps up randomly. Like I could have a simple assignment up with 2 tabs open and it could kick on for some reason even though the workload is not much. Then other times I have a bunch of tabs and another application open but it will stay silent.Other than that it is perfect if you need a cheap laptop to get some work done at school or code like me. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic, basic laptop
I was looking for a few things and this laptop had them. Display over USB C, a decent amount of RAM and Storage, low price. Usually you don’t get all three. It does come with Windows 11S but it can run full Windows 11 once you take it out of S mode.The only thing I wish it had was a better charger, but it can use USB C to charge so I’m not worried, and a backlit keyboard.

budget laptop for everyday use.
Only complaint i have is battery life. I use this laptop mainly to run some old ps2 games nothing too demanding and also some Trade market info. lasts a good 2 hours on the game before it has to be charged again. good performance with some lag if youre low on battery.

Pleasantly Surprised
As a system admin, I wasn’t expecting much with this. Basically, the bottom of the bottom laptops, but man was I wrong about this thing. it is amazing. I haven’t had any slowness with any performance issues with surfing the internet, watching movies or anything like that. The fan comes on a little bit every once in a while and the speakers aren’t that great, but other than that, this thing is definitely a winner.
