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

Bought this around April. Really good for editing videos, but now its fans are getting so loud. Its unbearable.

I am super impressed with this ConceptD 3 ezel laptop. I am NOT a fan of the company Apple and I refuse to use their products. For those people out there that think you cant find quality outside of Apple I say please check this laptop out! Its so well made, very sturdy. The white scuff free surface is hard, durable and looks amazing. Its super sleek and stylish. Set up was super fast and easy. Especially with Cortana. I absolutely love how bright and unaltered the colors appear on the screen. This comes equipped with app explorer. You can get third party apps. I really like the buttons for color, space, and sound. Im not an artist, which is this laptops selling point. I am however an amateur (at least four now) photographer. This laptop is perfect for it. This laptop has plenty of memory. Which is something we almost all look for in a laptop. One of my absolute favorite aspects of this laptop is how the screen rotates for your convenience (as seen in one of my photos). I really enjoy the convenience of a light up keyboard. Great for working in dark rooms. The screen is made of gorilla glass. Which is quite strong, thick and being a touch screen your fingers leave practically no fingerprints behind. It can get hot if used for a long time. Be sure that you have enough airflow beneath it. Loving photography Im really happy that it comes equipped with Adobe Photo Shop.

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.

Good computer, I fully recommend

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.

Look, this is a really cool concept for a laptop. A laptop for creators and artists to be able to take their work on the go, that’s what this laptop advertises itself as. It presents itself as a laptop, but with the desktop power to be able to handle heavier programs. The screen moves and comes out for whatever it is you need, but the reality is, the laptop is too compact to truly be able to handle my programs. Simply running things like Adobe Illustrator or small games and the laptop’s fans are louder than the actual fan in my room. I also quickly ran into audio issues, and the laptop itself has stopped playing sound out of the speakers entirely. I’ve only had the laptop for a day. Acer has produced many good laptops that can handle resource-heavy programs/games, and their Concept D models haven’t all been bad, but I believe this one just seems to be a simple laptop with a few more buffed specs. If you’re looking for a sleek compact design for good day to day laptop, this is a good choice. But as for anything much more than that, you’d probably be better off with an actual heavy duty gaming laptop.

This laptop has nearly everything a creator could ask for and puts in all in a gorgeous package. Colors beautiful thanks to the Pantone Validated screen and the Ezel screen in my favorite laptop mod in a long time. I cant imagine going back. Also, thanks to circumstances being what they are in the world, Ive learned the camera and mic are great for video calls. Highly recommend. Only cons are the fingerprint sensor can be a bit finicky, but overall works better than the one on my last Asus laptop. And it has some heft to it, but I feel like it makes it feel more premium.

Owned the device for 7 days now. Only used it once. On the 3rd day, I finally got a chance to use it. After about 2.5hours of working with the device, I got a blue screen with error: PAGE FAULT_IN NONPAGED AREA. I dont have any design programs on it yet. Only Office 365. When I picked up the device, it was extremely hot. I had the device sitting on my end table (completely flat surface). Ive had laptops before that did not run hot from sitting on a table, even after several hours of working. I dont understand this. After turning it off and letting it sit for about 30 minutes or so and turning it back on, it seemed to be fine. I havent even gotten the chance to work in Adobe yet. This is horrible. Im gonna do a little research before returning it, but Im sure I probably will.

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 love this computer. Had the speed to run my programs to design items and my kids love that they can work on homework and write it problems.
