Greater than one weekThis laptop is so comfy to hold and the keyboard is perfect for typing! Easy accessibility on the underside for upgrading and good screen quality. Battery life is kinda meh, but overall its a great laptop!

> 3 dayGot this as a prime day deal at a great price, but its a nice deal even at the retail price. At minimum the memory should be upgraded to really make this a great machine, the cheapest upgrade is a single 4GB DDR4-2400 memory stick that would double the memory and enable dial channel operation for a nice performance boost. It works great with Linux as long as you stick with the latest kernels, the stock Debian/buster 4.19 kernel had some issues, but it works perfectly with the 5.2 kernel. Despite being a slim lightweight laptop with a large and bright screen, it is very easy to replace the memory and hard drive, unlike many recent premium laptops that are glued shut with non-removable components. The back cover can be easily removed to gain access to the memory and ssd. It comes with a 128GB NVMe x2 M.2 2280 WD SN520 SSD, that can be replaced with any 2280 NVMe ssd. Be aware though that only 2 PCIe lanes are connected, so any x4 ssd will run in x2 mode, limiting the bandwidth, but its still much faster than SATA based SSDs. There are 2 DDR4 SODIMM slots, one occupied by the 4GB stick that comes with the machine, but can be removed to install a bigger stick. The processor supports DDR4-2400 speeds. I have installed 2x8GB memory, and based on the measured memory bandwidth I can confirm that it operates in dual-channel mode. The machine also has an empty slot for a 2.5 drive, which is useful for those that need lots of cheap storage on board, but using that would reduce battery life. The processor is pretty fast, on par with Intel Core i3 netbooks, and the integrated Radeon graphics easily beats the integrated graphics in Intel chips, especially with the upgraded dual channel memory, but obviously this is not a gaming laptop.

> 3 dayA simple yet powerful little laptop! The laptop itself does not feel cheap at all. It feels well made and sturdy, unlike HP products where you could pay up to $1,000 for a laptop and get a cheap plastic outer casing. You can easily turn off the Windows 10S version. People are rating this laptop 1 star or that very reason! Just shows how ill informed they are about electronics. This laptop can almost do it all, It can run basic games and EXE. game files. but nothing crazy like Fortnite or games of that nature. HIGHLY recommend this laptop. The screen is VERY vivid for the price you pay! Almost comparable to that of a Macs screen. Sound is crisp and clean. I Love this laptop! Also the light up keyboard is a plus! Makes the laptop look more high end.

Greater than one weekBought it for my online classes and works great! My wife did the set-up for almost an hour (kids were pestering us and I am no tech geek) and changed from windows 10 s to just a plain windows 10 and now upgraded it to windows 11. Will buy a new one again for her since she needs one as well. Thanks for the great quality laptop! Acer is the best!
