Acer ConceptD 3 Ezel CC314-72G-72SX Convertible Creator Laptop, Intel i7-10750H, GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q, 14 FHD, Gorilla Glass, Pantone Validated, 100% sRGB, 16GB, 512GB NVMe SSD, Wacom AES 1.0 Pen

This is the first time I’ve not bought a Mac for design work. I wanted a laptop with a drawing / touch screen included for on the go work. This was a good solution. It runs illustrator, photoshop and InDesign well. Colour screen is quite good as well. If you are wanting to save a little money over buying a MacBook and iPad separately this is a workable solution for graphic design and illustration.

This is an epic piece of technology. The build quality is strong and solid. The screen is crisp and the touch screen is easy to use. I love the Tilt screen. You can adjust it just about any way you would like. Its perfect for my business where I often draw on my computer. Definitely a keeper for a long time.

I’ve ordered two laptops now. The first one had a broken fan and the second constantly got BSOD. This is my last attempt

I am super impressed with this ConceptD 3 ezel laptop. I am NOT a fan of the company Apple and I refuse to use their products. For those people out there that think you cant find quality outside of Apple I say please check this laptop out! Its so well made, very sturdy. The white scuff free surface is hard, durable and looks amazing. Its super sleek and stylish. Set up was super fast and easy. Especially with Cortana. I absolutely love how bright and unaltered the colors appear on the screen. This comes equipped with app explorer. You can get third party apps. I really like the buttons for color, space, and sound. Im not an artist, which is this laptops selling point. I am however an amateur (at least four now) photographer. This laptop is perfect for it. This laptop has plenty of memory. Which is something we almost all look for in a laptop. One of my absolute favorite aspects of this laptop is how the screen rotates for your convenience (as seen in one of my photos). I really enjoy the convenience of a light up keyboard. Great for working in dark rooms. The screen is made of gorilla glass. Which is quite strong, thick and being a touch screen your fingers leave practically no fingerprints behind. It can get hot if used for a long time. Be sure that you have enough airflow beneath it. Loving photography Im really happy that it comes equipped with Adobe Photo Shop.

While this laptop is marketed to visual artists, its far more suited for the interactive artist. Pen input is 100% not ideal for digital artists, though wavy lines can be mitigated with a Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus pen and the blue nib, its still a strange option for Acer to put in an AES 1.0 panel in an otherwise perfect configuration.

Bought this around April. Really good for editing videos, but now its fans are getting so loud. Its unbearable.

This laptop is so much more than just that…it is a graphic workstation, a regular office workstation to crunch numbers in spreadsheets, a light portable gaming station, and sleek enough to take on the go. Additionally, it has an outstanding variable display that moves around, acts as a sort of super tablet (if you so choose) and has a very responsive stylus that is the best I have used. It is very responsive, stows away perfectly, and it has opened up so many options for me to be more productive…and to have more fun. Drawing is amazing on this and it goes hand-in-hand with creativity. All of the above is bolstered by the fact that the screen is ridiculously accurate and validated by a company that is respected for such ratings. There are not a lot of flaws about this beast in a small package but I will outline both in the portion below.

I wanted to like this computer so much. After researching for days about 2 in 1 laptops that could fulfill my needs as a creator, this seemed like a godsend. And for the first few days I had it, it was. And then I gradually started to notice flaws:

Pros:

This computer is faster than I’m accustomed too which is great. Started running CAD and basic office software for now but will be augmenting the memory use as school continues. I’ve been able to utilize the touch, stylus, and tablet modes with nearly flawless transition and Im looking forward to long time use. I’ve had the computer for a couple weeks now with about 4-5 hour blocks at a time of moderate use for the battery, if you’re running heavier programs you might not get that much but plugging it in once in a while isn’t bothersome to me either. Highly recommend.
