Great product. Great price. Just for business so no clue if gaming is good

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 laptop for the price. Love the keyboard layout, ease of use. Replaced an older toshiba and hadn’t realized how much I disliked it until I started using this one.

For just under $600($560 for the laptop + $30 for an stick of ram), I have a ryzen 5 4500u with 16gb of ram(I put an extra 8 gb stick in mine). This machine is very capable and snappy. I dont care too much about build quality, so the high end cpu for a low price was a no brainer. It can run some games, but dont get your hopes up(platformers and esports titles should fare just fine). Battery life surprised me(5-7 hours of moderate work), and was able to handle 10+ tabs of chrome without breaking a sweat. For working/schooling from home, the 15.6 inch display is nice and crisp, but suffers from a not so bright max brightness(which is livable as long as you arent outside). In addition, acer included the mounting bracket and sata cable so you can add a 2.5 inch ssd whenever you need more storage in your machine. I did have to remove quite a bit of bloat ware, but it didnt take too long. Overall, I am very happy, as the performance is well worth the price, just make sure to buy a second stick of ram for this laptop, as ryzen performs much better in dual channel.

When I first opened the banged up box I expected to see a nicely wrapped computer and accessories. The cords looked as if they had been put back in the bags they came in and the bags they came in were crinkled and folded like they had been handled previously. The sleeve that protects the computer was not on the computer neatly folded it looked as if it was re wrapped sloppily and everything put back in the box messy. This makes me feel the box was open already. If it had just been opened for upgrading they did not take care in re packing the box. Some of the documentation wasn’t in its protective bag And it was all messy. No bubble wrap was used when shipping it which means the computer was banging around in the bigger box it came in. 600 is too much to pay to be concerned about it being broken and open before o even had a chance to use it myself. It is very lightweight and the graphics just look choppy (especially around the edges of the fonts, almost like pixilation was showing) The picture quality was disappointing (I have had computers since 1996 so have a lot to compare with. It just looked like some of the colours were missing. I played around with don’t and picture settings to see if I could change it yet I couldn’t. My older hp laptop I wanted to replace is much better than this one. It’s so light weight and plastic feeling (even the plug) it just felt as if it was a child’s toy. I still had hope because I didn’t want to return but within 5-10 minutes the fan came on really loud. Since I work online and in zoom, this would be very distracting and disruptive. I am going to pick a computer out in person now, so I can be sure of what I am getting or may just stick with hp. I had an acre way back when that didn’t last long yet I thought they may have improved by now. Someone else might not mind all those things yet from the time I saw the computer was packed with no protection bouncing around in a bigger box I thought it could have caused internal damage and I could never feel good about it. I need this for work but I have to return as I cannot afford to not be the best I can for work and this will not do the job.

Nice computer but the audio output jack requires a reboot for the computer to recognize it and change from external to headphones. I had to return the computer. Other than that i loved it...but 560$ is too much for that kind of issue to deal with. I tried updating erything that could possibly update (bios too) but the issue remained..

El computador viene con un teclado para idioma Ingles lo que implica que no tiene la letra ñ, para uso en Latinoamérica yo les recomiendo comprar un computador diseñado para habla hispana, este no lo es y genera múltiples problemas con la escritura.

I’ve have my laptop for about two years now and still runs great, even the battery life is still good. Very reliable and durable laptop.

So far so good this thing is fast. I may get one for myself. I bought for my son to do school work on. It starts so quick and runs programs much faster than mine.
