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

I love this laptop!

I got this device a few weeks ago and wanted to wait to write the review to get a realistic experience.

I can’t tell you enough DO NOT BUY THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PAPER WEIGHT. The screen does not have palm recognition as Acer claims, nor the 4000 points of pressure (not even 2000), it DOES NOT WORK with other Wacom pens, it has a loud fan and adobe illustrator is impossible to use efficiently with this as a result of the pencil barely working with a hand resting on screen and even then it doesn’t work well. The pen also jitters or is not reactive so you can’t always chose a tool or even close a window. In pad mode it often does not recognize a finger trying to close or open a window so you get stuck in whatever screen you are in and it just won’t work. THEIR TECHNICAL SUPPORT IS HORRIBLE! I mean YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS LAPTOP AND NO ONE THERE KNOWS A DAMN THING. For instance, I was speaking to tech about the Wacom pen not working and they asked “What’s Wacom”. I asked for the DEDICATED CONCEPTD 7 tech they CLAIM THEY HAVE AND THAT IS WHO I GOT. Someone who was ASKING ME TO EXOLAIN TO THEM WHAT WACOM TECHNOLOGY IS. Their level 2 staff, Donald from Temple Texas not only kept misgendering me but refused to help me with tech issues with my computer ,when I asked him to not call me sir. He told me he’d have to research why Wacom pens do not work on a Wacom screen which is what the last guy said before going to an Acer user forum and seeing what their customers say because they don’t squat. When asked to be put on the line with a tech support person who knows the product he refused. When asked to speak to his supervisor he refused. When asked to speak to someone to make a complaint against him, he put me on hold and never picked back up and after 30 minutes on hold I got disconnected. So if you buy this junk, you were warned. I’m getting my money back or I’m getting a lawyer. I hope this helps folks avoid making a mistake that could cost you a huge chunk of your savings, especially if you are a design professional. Stay away from this. None of their claims are even REMOTELY TRUE AND SHAME ON ANY REVIEWER LIKE LINUS TECH TIPS AND SARA DIETSCHY for spreading false claims on this product. Whatever they said was untrue and I hope this review also puts their integrity and their reputation in question by any followers they have. Honestly, I’m blaming myself for believing the hype. I should know better by now that tech specs and reviewers are usually full of it. I figured it would still be a solid and reliable beast but this thing IS NOT EVEN AS TOUCH RELIABLE AS AN IPAD OR EVEN YOUR SMART PHONE AND THEIR IS NO TECH ASSISTANCE YOU WILL GET FOR THIS FROM ACER. None. Check out Acers customer reviews. I’m not the only one saying this.

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.

battery life was so bad i had to return. 4 hours even when on battery saver mode

Great for drawing. Has a lot of fans underneath. When I update it, I have it laying on the screen side because it seems like it needs it. Battery life suffers for what I use it for.

This computer is absolutely fabulous! I have an Acer Swift 5 for work, and I love it, but this Acer ConceptD 3 Ezel is even more impressive. I love the Acer products! Setup was easy, no so-called bloatware, and the speed is absolutely impressive. The difference is absolutely noticeable between the i7-8565U (which is still an impressive processor in its own right) on the Swift 5 and this fabulous ConceptD i7-10750H. Games in my library on Origin load lightning-fast and play well. The touchscreen is the nicest, most responsive and accurate Ive ever encountered. The stylus also works well; accurate. The location of the fingerprint reader is intelligent. The vents for the fans are also located wisely. And the keyboard! Oh, the keyboard of this laptop is wonderful! Its responsive and easy to tell that you have actually pressed the key. The webcam is nice and regardless that this is not a 4k resolution screen, its absolutely beautiful. Nicely done laptop - I am thoroughly impressed to say the least.

Im by no means an expert, nor do I have the patience to comb through every available product. I wanted a mid-grade CPU, a GPU, and a 2-in-1, and this was the cheapest option I could find that checked all the boxes.

[Will update as I continue exploring this hybrid laptop!]

I used to be a build it yourself full size workstation tower kind of person. But with all the working from home over the past several months, Ive gotten used to having a macbook pro plugged into a thunderbolt docking station a with dual monitor, keyboard, mouse and wacom setup. So the idea of having an pre-configured art focused note book is something I was more comfortable with than I would have been before.
