4gb is soldered in the other slot is available, claimed support for 16gb so officially max 20gb with a 4gb +16gb. Better than the Dell which has both 4gb dimms soldered in.

I like that it's got 3 usb-a ports and a usb-c port, and the rj45 is important to me. It looks good too.

I have the HP from costco 2 years ago with the i5-1035g4 and the fan is Loud! My wife has a MS Surface book v3 with the 1065-g7 and it's equally loud. All these thin laptops are annoyingly loud. I am guessing by the looks of this laptop it's gonna be loud too. I hate apple but I am envious of that M1 chip. Hopefully we will see something similar to the M1 for PCs soon.

agreed, seems like a solid midrange laptop. just recommended it to a family member for grad school. i feel better recommending something like this as opposed to those cheaply built $300 walmart laptops (evoo, gateway, etc), assuming budget allows.

Costco has a 14 inch Acer spin touchscreen model for $500
Ram is 8gb
Processor is i5-10th gen
256gb memory
Yes different model and different spec.
Just throwing out an option for light users
(Bought one for my parents as they only like touchscreen and wanted a smaller size)

The Aspire 5 and the Acer Swift 3 have both been rated best value and best all-around laptops respectively by a couple mags the past year.

Triple-check the specs on all Aspires though, as there was an Aspire 5 for $500 at Microcenter with similar specs recently that had a "ComfyView" TN screen (i.e. objectively looks like crap compared to IPS). This one explicitly says IPS though, so two thumbs up.

I'd say it's because $50 off a $620 laptop is not slick.

Since the memory controller is in the CPU, that upgradeable slot will work with a 32GB DIMM. It may "officially" be validated/tested with a 16, but the 32 should work too for a total of 32+4=36GB. For anyone who cares.

for typical office work (no specialized rendering/editing software or anything like that), it's perfectly fine. however, i do have to remind you that this is a consumer grade laptop.

for enterprises, business grade laptops are typically used due to longer warranties, more durable build, and better support. however, they will be more expensive.
