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 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.

Great laptop overall. The ezel hinge is absolutely wonderful. I wish it was 4K like the ezel 7, but at 14 screen size, full HD is more than sufficient. The only complaint I have is the in-built pen, and more accurately the pen technology being AES. Because of this technology, the pen isnt what it should be on a laptop aimed at artists, architects, and the like. It jitters if drawn slow, or even relatively moderate speed, but of course, it straightens out the faster you draw across the screen. As for the hand holding experience of the pen, since it is so tiny and slim, it can be uncomfortable if used for extended periods. Buying another pen such as the Lenovo Active Pen 2, Bamboo Ink II, or even the surface pen will give a more comfortable hand holding experience. However, this wont mitigate the line jitter, since thats an issue that cant be solved by the pen alone. Still, overall great laptop, but, if you are absolutely serious about artwork at a professional level and need those straight lines at all levels, get the concept 7 over the concept 3. However, for anyone else, artists whose arent doing it professionally, or even students, the conceptD 3 is excellent.

I got this for my son who is an artist and has been looking at this particular laptop since it was announced. Out of the box, its very sturdy and beautiful. Its like a hybrid tablet/laptop with a very creative and innovative set up. One of the best features is the anti-glare screen which boasts absolutely vibrant and beautiful colors. The color match is precise and reliable. As others have mentioned the stylus works great on the screen and the touch is responsive and works beautifully. The only complaint is that the stylus needs to be charged more frequently if you are putting it to heavy use. This laptop works great as a regular laptop as well with all the functions you need. So far, we are really loving this design and have very few complaints other than stylus charge and laptop charging. These are not big enough complaints to deduct a star. This is a beautiful, innovative computer for anyone, especially in the artist community.

This is as described and works great.

I run Adobe photoshop and Da vinci Resole on this and it works great. The build in stylus is awesome works great, wish it was a little bigger to grip but then it would not conceal inside the laptop so give and take. overall great value with upgrade options for memory and hard drive space. Im running the factory right now but thinking about buying upgrades for digital media editing. love the style of the Ezel Screen how can i use a normal laptop again

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.

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.

The only thing I had to do with this laptop was search WHQL windows driver Intel specifically UHD to get da Vinci to stop throwing a warning about incompatible drivers. Latest w10 12-13-2021

First of all I must say I love this little machine. Im an artist who was looking for an entryway into digital art, and after a lot of research I decided this was the best fit for me. The laptop is compact and good for those with limited space, its a great alternative for people not wanting to buy a huge PC setup just to learn digital art like I was. Its also a very powerful little machine that rivals lots of other computers Ive seen.

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).
