I Love my New Computer! Works fantastic! Very happy with my purchase!

The power port stopped letting this laptop charge after less than 4 months. do not reccommend

When I read the specs for adding additional RAM, many sites, including the RAM manufacturer said this laptop has 2 banks and could hold 32G of RAM. That is not the case with this particular processor. It has only 1 bank to hold additional RAM. 4G is soldered on the board, so the maximum RAM you would have is 20G if you bought a 16G stick.

I was hoping to use the ram and hard drive from my laptop that just died, I was able to install a stick of ram giving me a total of 20 gigs. I was pleased to see that a hard drive caddy was included in the box, along with hardware and wire for installing a hard drive, but once I had everything in place, where the hard drive is plugged into the motherboard, theres no plug, just solder marks where it should be. The 4300 model doesnt have this aparently, but the higher end ones do. I am upset because the page says that a second hard drive can be attached, this is a problem with amazon listing 3 similar products on the same page and just trusting the seller, but Im also upset with Acer, why in the world is all this extra hardware included in the box if I cant use it?! Im past the return date, and to be honest there isnt another pc in this price range that performs as well, so Ill drag an external drive with me. Over all I am pleased with the pc, screen is kinda dim, when on battery its even dimmer even when pumped to max brightness. Plays a lot of games pretty well, older games she handles like a champ, modern games turned down to medium or low yields playable 30-40 fps. I just wish I could install my hard-drive internally.

Awesome laptop. Only improvement Id ask for is the keyboard feel. The weight of the keys is not quite what I like!

Fair price for the value of the laptop

Needed something for my 7 year old to play her Roblox and Minecraft games as well as do some recording for uploading to YouTube. This one has done a great job.

I bought this laptop to replace another Acer 3 1/2 year-old laptop. I goofed as I didnt realize the hard drive in this laptop is not big enough for my needs. So I thought, no problem, as this laptop is supposed to be set up to take a second drive. It even comes with brackets to do that. I took the laptop to have a second drive installed and turns out the cable inside the laptop necessary to do that is missing. So now I am paying to have the hard drive replaced and the operating system reinstalled. I purchased this laptop because it could be upgraded. So much for that. Very disappointed and will not buy an Acer again.

This laptop has the perfect specs for school. I wanted a strong laptop processor from light programming that wouldnt break the bank. The screen is a beautiful IPS with minimal glare!

It is light in weight, thin & has a good camera. I purchased this notebook for my mother & it does exactly what she needs it to do. It was inexpensive & the OS (Windows 10S) makes it difficult to download any software unless it is done via the Microsoft Store. All she needs to do is web browse & use the Office Programs. I shared my Office package with her so she should be just fine.
