this was a great laptop to game on it runs games like valorant and grand theft auto very well, and is very good for listening to music and just doing work on it

I purchased this laptop in Dec of 2020. It was kept in pristine temperature regulated conditions. By July 2021, the laptop would not turn on. This is way below acceptable life span. I also haven’t been able to get Acer to respond to the issue. I really regret this purchase and hope others are not victims of this poor product.

It is light in weight, thin & has a good camera. I purchased this notebook for my mother & it does exactly what she needs it to do. It was inexpensive & the OS (Windows 10S) makes it difficult to download any software unless it is done via the Microsoft Store. All she needs to do is web browse & use the Office Programs. I shared my Office package with her so she should be just fine.

My daughter-in-law got it for Christmas. She love it. Her daughters has one and she love it. She bought it for Mom.

Dont let other reviews lie. This is a great machine. It has a fantastic CPU and Video card.

I bought it thinking that I would have to buy an HDD enclosure because of the comments I had read, where it said it did not come with the connector on the motherboard. I opened it just to verify this and was very surprised to see that it did come with this connector, so I was able to increase the internal storage. I assumed that in the new equipment the lack of the connector is corrected. I highly recommend this computer, it has a good processor and this type of SSD gives it a lot of speed. Im just waiting for a Ram that I bought to improve it, and that is the only annoyance I have, the 4gb of base ram that it brings are soldered to the board, so there is only one slot available to increase it.

This is a great laptop for general computing (internet, word processing etc). It is lightweight, starts up quickly, and has a great screen. I highly recommend this model if you are on a budget and need a solid laptop at a great price.

Needed something for my 7 year old to play her Roblox and Minecraft games as well as do some recording for uploading to YouTube. This one has done a great job.

This laptop comes with an upgrade kit for an additional hard drive but the motherboard has no hard drive connector. Cheap pos don’t buy only 128gb non upgradable.

This laptop is now running perfectly and set up to exactly to my taste. But getting there was not so easy. I detest WIN 11 and will stay away from it as long as I can. So I was disappointed when this laptop came with Windows 11 installed despite the fact the description said Windows 10 Home. And the Windows 11 installation was almost useless because the start menu did not work nor did run. Researching this on the internet I found out this was a fault in a beta version of Windows 11 that should never have been installed. Fortunately my old laptop was still mostly functional so I made a USB Windows 10 installation thumb drive and did a clean Windows 10 installation. One way to get rid of any pre-installed Acer crapware or, I guess, anything useful that Acer loaded, but I am not sure what that would be. This laptop is running very well now. I am ready to use it 8 seconds after hitting the power button which is nice. Getting it to this point was a bit more than I had bargained for. The speaker volume was feeble, like my previous Acer but I knew how to be able to turn the volume up by installing an equalizer utility.
