From when I first bought this computer in September of 2020 is had issues with the fan running loud and at times, when it would go dormant you could not “wake it up” - I would have to do a hard shut down. This became more and more frequent to the point where I was restarting it several times a day. Then about two weeks ago the touchpad stopped working entirely. The computer doesn’t even recognize that I am attempting to use it - I have to use an external mouse.

I didn’t like this computer. It wasn’t a touch screen and it’s slow.

Good value for the price in a beginner computer.

Laptop feels really cheap (plastic), unlike the last brand I had. Not enough storage for photos, only documents; no Office included.

Way lighter and thinner than expected. I dont really feel the need to but the slim version at all for the price/performance this one offers.

Great so far. Many features for price point.

Qith a Zen processor and an SSD, its very quick for the price, easily handling everyday tasks. boots up in seconds

I have wanted an ACER laptop for over 16 years, but never bought one because I was always able to purchase other used laptops for a fair price. Finally I decided to purchase a new Laptop, and I believe ACER is the BEST Bang for The Buck Laptop anyone can buy. I had a choice of either the equivalent (INTEL Processor) or the (AMD RYZEN 5) and Im thrilled I picked the AMD processor over the INTEL. I absolutely love this laptop. The performance is AMAZING! That AMD processor is second to NONE when it comes to its competitor. AAA+ Yes there are faster laptops out there then this particular model, but look at what you have to pay before you make a choice. This is The BEST BANG for your BUCK in Laptops in my opinion. As it stands to this day, I will NEVER again purchase anything else than an ACER.

Works smooth and efficient. Mostly just surf net for research and work and write papers but I have been very pleased with performance so far!

We bought this Acer for our 19 year old son for his gap year program. We bought it on Nov.10, and now, on April 6, the built-in mouse pad is no longer working, and the computer isnt recognizing the battery, so it only works while plugged in. Very disappointing for a 5 month old computer! Definitely not recommended.
