Incredible performance, even run some games in low quality of course, not for gaming tho, but great for working and study, very fast.

This is my 3rd Acer computer. My last one was starting to slow down (but it was 9 years old) so decided to get a new one.

We purchased 2 of these. One totally quit working. You cant even open in safe mode. Its useless to us. And now its too late to send back. So were paying for nothing....literally.

As some of the other reviews have mentioned, the laptop is very loud - opening a browser, loud; opening Word or PowerPoint, loud; simply on the home screen; loud. It may not be every unit, but it does appear to be a common defect. My laptop was also crooked; on a level surface, it would tilt to one side. It also kept restarting randomly. I drew the short straw to be sure. Amazon (who was the direct seller for this unit) was particularly, and in fairness uncharacteristically unhelpful. They gave me two options to return it: either a UPS pick-up, which doesnt work in my apartment building (the UPS person wont be able to get up to my apartment) or I could pay out of my own pocket to return the defective item. I contacted Amazon consumer service to see if I could get another option (e.g., providing me a label), and the agent just kept repeating those two options over and over again. Incidentally, in the Ill Ship It Myself option, Amazon would refund me up to $3.99 for the turn. Purchasing the label to return it myself cost me almost $20. Is that a lot of money? No. But, within the context of this purchase, it was upsetting. It cemented an already poor experience. Mostly though I write this review so that others who are thinking about buying it can know ahead of time that, if their unit is defective, they may likewise need to go out of pocket to return it.

Feature packed in a very, very affordable price.

Very easy computer to use..

If you like using Chrome, then avoid Windows 11. It was engineered to force you to adopt Microsoft Edge. This and many other laptops are being built with Windows 11.

OK final review. This a very good purchase if your budgeting or on disability like me. This little pc is perfect for business an medium level gaming. you can play games up to the Xbox 1 X generation. Keep i said 1X not series X. Even with the Ryzen in there the video card isnt good enough to go past that point. but for price this thing is a steal. Worth buying for self or as a gift for someone.

...but I absolutely DESPISE Windows 11 and this laptop came with it already installed. I waste so much time tracking down documents Ive downloaded and nothing about 11 is at all intuitive or logical. I dont appreciate my time when working being wasted on dumb stuff and Windows 11 can pretty much be summed up that way: DUMB STUFF.
