I use this mainly for my church meetings, but will also use it for manuscript writing

This laptop comes with an upgrade kit for an additional hard drive but the motherboard has no hard drive connector.

Horrible laptop. I will never by acer again and Amazon is on probation because they should have better checks on what they promote. This lap has multiple issues volume, finger print reader, build. I live in the Caribbean and i bought this laptop for my daughter for online school. I had to get external speakers for her! Because of where I live it just so much of a hassle to ship this lap top back SO WILL HAVE TO ENDURE THIS THING. Some people say cheap thing not good and good thing not cheap.

I was looking for a laptop that could work with Windows 11. Price was in my range. So far Im very happy with my purchase. I definitely had a list of specs. I wanted and this laptop meant my needs.

This laptop is now running perfectly and set up to exactly to my taste. But getting there was not so easy. I detest WIN 11 and will stay away from it as long as I can. So I was disappointed when this laptop came with Windows 11 installed despite the fact the description said Windows 10 Home. And the Windows 11 installation was almost useless because the start menu did not work nor did run. Researching this on the internet I found out this was a fault in a beta version of Windows 11 that should never have been installed. Fortunately my old laptop was still mostly functional so I made a USB Windows 10 installation thumb drive and did a clean Windows 10 installation. One way to get rid of any pre-installed Acer crapware or, I guess, anything useful that Acer loaded, but I am not sure what that would be. This laptop is running very well now. I am ready to use it 8 seconds after hitting the power button which is nice. Getting it to this point was a bit more than I had bargained for. The speaker volume was feeble, like my previous Acer but I knew how to be able to turn the volume up by installing an equalizer utility.

Could not log in after just a couple days. Returned for refund, bought an HP Envy at Costco.

My 15 year old son wanted a super fancy gaming PC to game with his friends 24/7 (insert eyeroll here lol) so I had him pick out something in my budget and this computer is amazing. Hes super happy and hes a teenage boy who hates the world hahaha great choice

So far Im not having any luck with these Ryzen mobile processors.

I buy this laptop for my girlfriend. She is a python programmer and data scientist, what I like about this product is the following:

Its good price.
