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

Good computer, I fully recommend

Pros:

Laptop gets way too hot - 80° C at 6% CPU and 96° C at 45% cpu is way too high. Couldnt even touch the keyboard. Occasionally cant connect to wifi (everything else in house can).

I bought this laptop after hearing many positive reviews. This machine is amazing! It has more features than I originally realized and it runs my heavy duty graphics programs without a problem. It interfaces with all of my other equipment, which is critical. Great screen clarity, long battery life and an impressive build quality make this an impressive machine. A+ PC!

I LOVED this laptop and got it for a great price! Im SO BUMMED that I have to return it. As others have stated, I get fairly frequent random graphics card detection issues and system crashes (BSOD). I STILL wanted to keep it anyway but I never know when itll just randomly crash as Im working on it. Its too bad. Sending it back.

I love this laptop. It is more powerfulI than bigger, more expensive ones, is small enough to take anywhere, and its collapsible screen make it incredibly versatile.

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.

Really love this slick artists laptop. The Wacom pen is small, which I was a bit nervous about, but its very comfortable to use and sensitive. Such a game changer to have a responsive touch screen that I can easily zoom in and out and rotate with my free hand while I draw with my right. The adjustable angled screen is going to change the market for drawing laptops. I just cant imagine using a laptop without this feature now. The chassis is a bit heavy, but its of quality material, and the sunset glow in the keyboard is really unique and pretty. The screen is Pantone certified, which is a relief after having used a laptop with colors that just didnt translate well among other devices. Plenty of memory to run my favorite games, and they look awesome! I also really appreciated the fact that Acer packaged this laptop without any plastic! Ingenious cardboard packaging design that actually felt even more high end. Obviously, I recommend this laptop to anyone who does digital art.

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.

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.
