I spent many hours making a decision about what laptop to buy. I think I made a good choice. This is a more-than-adequate laptop for general computing needs. Although there was minimal documentation included with this budget-priced Acer laptop, it was not hard to get started. It came with full-featured Windows 11 Home, not the limited S version. And Windows 11 turns out to be refreshing after Windows 10s screen-hogging tiles. The case is attractive and a step up from our old black-cased laptops. The unit is lighter and thinner than our previous laptops and gets an A for portability. The display is good and sharp. ///// We paid a little more to get the Ryzen 5 series processor and the machine is significantly faster than the Windows 10 computers we had before. Admittedly, this laptop is not used for gaming or dense graphic arts work in Illustrator or Photoshop... We use a powerful desktop for that. But for general business purposes, especially those requiring portability, this is a fine choice at relatively low cost. A negative was that Norton was pre-installed but it was not difficult to uninstall. ///// Note: We have just purchased this computer, and this review is our initial impression. If it prematurely fails or develops mechanical problems, this review will be updated.

We will use this for email, and shopping amazon. Occasionally some light streaming.

Unfortunately, this laptop does not come with a disc reader. I assumed it did until my teenager wanted to watch an old DVD and we found out no reader is installed. We tried using an external LG disc reader plugged into the USB drive, but the laptop could not read the file(s). Overall, it’s a good laptop for a young student or for someone who just wants to surf the net or play downloaded games.

Got this as a Christmas present and it has not disappointed me - super capable for anything that I need to do spreadsheets, documents, reading the news, etc. great battery life, perfect size to fit in to a backpack or satchel - great all-around product!

So far so good. Will update with specific problems if those occur.

Held off on rating this machine as I originally had an issue with it and WIndows 11. Have found out after quite a bit of experimenting that the problem is with Firefox. This is my third Acer, I think they are quality machines for the money.

I want to pay cash for the computer not charge it for six months to a citizen n

I like this laptop. Its lightweight and easy to set up. Moves quickly. It just overheats extremely fast to the point that I got scared and turned it off. Also, the screen dims so much. Makes it hard to see.

Great for everyday use with browsing and school work. Ok for basic games and love how easy it is to upgrade.

I really like the upgrade to my older computers. wish i would have done this sooner.
