Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2023

This laptop is fast, great screen quality. Easy to set up when it arrived. As long as you have internet it walks you through the rest. It comes with a trial version of Microsoft 365 for one month which gives you Word, Excel, etc. After one month, if you want to keep it, you are charged $100 per year which i did since i thought it was worth it to have all those applications. Also gives you Microsoft one drive to back up the computer, docs, pics, etc. It wakes up from sleep very quickly. I like that the keyboard has a number pad, nicer than the traditional lap top keyboard with the numbers at the top. Battery life is great as reported. Does not have a CD drive but no big deal. Have had for 2-3 months and would buy again.

First Impressions: Updated + Update #2

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

Update #2: After about a year of use, still love it. For those saying the 128GB SSD is too small, simply add a 1 TB SSD or old HDD as I did (d: drive) in the available motherboard slot for your apps, games movies, etc.). I did add 4gb of additional ram (now has 12gb) since I had it laying around, but it really didn't need it - ran fine with 8gb.

One negative: Who ever designed the power port should be fired. It's a 1/8" jack and not robust at all. I hit the cable the wrong way and it goes into batter mode. The jack is a piece of crap and should have been made bigger (like a USB size or 1/4").

Follow my instructions below to clean up the OS, etc. and this thing runs like a champ...

Update:
(After several months of using): Love it! Solid as a rock. It is what it is. A.K.A. Not necessarily the best components (you get what you pay for) but if you know what you're doing (to clean it up), Delete S mode, add a secondary SDD or HDD drive (in my case an old 1 TB HDD), 4 or 8 GB additional RAM (doesn't really need it, delete all the bloatware, disable the items in startup, tighten up all the privacy settings, etc., this thing runs great (everything including sound (some people seem to have issues - but mine's fine). Not heating up, no slowing down. Bargain for what you get...
-----------------------------------------------
Purchased this to replace on older Acer laptop (which is going to the wife to replace her older POS HP). Originally wanted an Acer with a backlit keyboard (like my current one has) but Amazon couldn't seem to send me the correct laptop (twice), so I opted for this one (good price, decent CPU, and 8 GB RAM installed).

Went with ACER since I'm happy with my current one, plus it allows you to add more memory, upgrade the NVMe SSD, and an an additional SDD / HDD (which I plan to do. The 8GB of RAM seems to be doing fine but I haven't really pushed it yet. The NVMe SSD is half full, but once I install the 1TB HDD from my old laptop I'll load any new programs, music, etc. on that. This laptop is what it is. Not high end, and not as solid as my old Acer (keyboard not as solid, etc.) but it's fine so far (except I wish it had a backlit keyboard - miss that). * Task manager indicates that only one of the two slots are being used by the 8GB RAM (I thought they may have added 4 GB in the 2nd slot to bring it up to 8GB), so, if that's the case, I may add an additional 8GB in the 2nd slot (good idea to add the same size RAM in the 2nd slot, but not absolutely necessary).

I had the intent of downgrading to Windows 10 since that's what I'm use to, but decided to stay with Windows 11. It took a few hours to get used to 11 but in fact, it's not much different then 10 once you get things set up how you want it. I immediately disabled unwanted apps under task manager startup, deleted unwanted apps (lots of Microsoft crap, and others), turned off S mode, turned off all privacy settings (disabled all the privacy settings that were turned on), and other tweaks. You can Google "how to make Windows 11 faster" for a start for recommended settings / tweaks. The sound's a bit weak but good enough (speakers are pretty much crap, but what do you expect in a laptop). There's not much for color / display adjustment, and certain screens look a bit washed out, while others are very vivid (youtube 4K/8K videos look great). Trackpad works fine (can't stand the tap feature but that can be turned off under the touchpad settings. Some people report that the laptop gets hot and the fan blows (and is loud) because of that. I have not seen any indication of that yet (and I hope I don't. My wife's HP gets extremely hot and the fan is constantly blowing, and I hate it, so I'm relieved that this one is not like that (so far).

For the price, and if all you plan to do is surf the Web, check email, stream videos, etc., I highly recommend this laptop. * So far, so good...

First of all my pc came in safe mode heavily restricting what i could do or install with said computer. Then after taking it out of safe mode and having it act normal i come to find out the battery life is utter garbage. It does not anywhere near as long as advertised. Literally sitting in a 1 hr class and its petty much already on power saver mode. Im pretty sure its battery is only anywhere near close as advertised is if its in power saving mode the entire time with the lowest brightness possible. Not worth it not even for the price take your money elsewhere.

Ease to setup. Delivery on time. I am still testing out the battery. There is no touch screen. Performance is fast.
