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 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.

I bought this as a replacement for a budget Acer laptop, specifically needing more processing power and ram but what drew me in was the capability for inputting cell values into spreadsheets on the go.

battery life was so bad i had to return. 4 hours even when on battery saver mode

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.

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.

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.

[Will update as I continue exploring this hybrid laptop!]

(note I got this from the acer store but they wont let me leave a review there)

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!

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.
