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

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.

Sometimes the pen bugs out after a few seconds of using it, but it should start working again once you put it back in and take it out again.

I received the laptop 7 days ago and installed a pen display. After a sleep mode, the driver was lost and an error blue screen was shown. I tried no start the pc againg and the graphics card didnt work well and crashed with blue screen several times. I tried to correct the error and tried a safe boot and windows didnt recognize my password and there was no option to return to normal boot again or connect to internet. I had to reset windows and install all the software again. Then I tried connecting another monitor and it worked half an hour. Then the displays blinked with black screen and the drivers were deactivated by windows. Then I tried to restart the pc and there was a blue screen again. I tried to install new drivers from nvidia but they work only minutes and crash my pc over and over if I try to connect a second monitor.

I got it because I wanted a laptop that I can use as my main workstation(development) for at least a few years, that can handle gaming decently, and with a touch screen that would make it more usable on the go and test out touch features.

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.

I thought it was just an issue with my laptop, until I checked the reviews and saw multiple others having the same issues. The actual laptop is pretty great. But there seems to be a pretty severe issue with the GPU. It is constantly BSODing, and after it recovers from it the GPU will remain disconnected and requires multiple restarts reenable. I sent it in to Acer Repair and they sent it back saying they couldnt reproduce it. I find it a little hard to believe, since all you have to do is turn on the laptop and it will BSOD eventually.

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.

Everything works perfectly, only problem for me is the laptop gets really hot when starting a game but i guess it wasnt really made to be a gaming laptop so i cant complain. Pen werks awesomely on the screen, batterylife is a bit short sometimes depending what you have running on the screen. Very glad i bought it, would even buy again!

I bought this laptop after hearing many positive reviews. This machine is amazing! It has more features than I originally realized and it runs my heavy duty graphics programs without a problem. It interfaces with all of my other equipment, which is critical. Great screen clarity, long battery life and an impressive build quality make this an impressive machine. A+ PC!

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.
