Even if you don't consider those Rugged features, the specification itself, is a very solid for the price. i7, 16GB Ram which is fully user upgradable, 1TB NVMe SSD, Thunderbolt 4 and a 450 nits IPS Display....you'll hardly find those configurations at this price.
The Rugged features are extra on top of that. This looks like a middle ground between conventional Consumer products and the super rugged chunky and heavy Laptops like Panasonic ToughBooks.

Acer Enduro N3 Durability Test - Full Ver | Acer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEjbFbS-hC8

With the normal construction of laptops these days with nvme drives and soldered ram (2RAM slots here!), a lot of laptops can pass some of the Milspec tests already. This video shows the actual changes to really meet the other specifications.

And as mentioned previously, ignore all that and the specs are pretty decent without the rugged features. Also I like the unbranded looked. I'm guessing with the sale they are finding it hard to break past the typical rugged laptop buyers, which isn't surprising because they buy what worked for them before.

edit: and, finally, all USB 3.2 ports.

450 nits isn't very bright considering a laptop like this is typically for use outdoors. I use a Toughbook for my job and the peak brightness is 700 nits.

Here's the only review I can find where the guy takes it outdoors: https://www.neowin.net/news/acer-...ed-laptop/

When I think of rugged, I think of something I can use outdoors and "on the go" ... so I look for two things, strong outdoor visible screen and battery life (cross fingers it has hot swappable batteries, for example) . But then that would make over $1000 probably.

Sadly, this one falters on both scores.

But if you are working indoors and want something durable, this has plenty screen brightness for that. And the specs internally look great.

For those looking for outdoor workability, I think it's worth saving some money to get up to something like the Dell toughbook 5420 ... there are probably other choices in the "semi rugged" sphere as well.

Or anyone with a kid who needs a Windows laptop. My kids new school will require it but not sure he's doing there otherwise I might jump on this deal.

Believe it or not, there is something called the Dell Rugged Extreme (had it a few year back) which had peak brightness in the 550 nits range and it looked better than the toughbook (I thinkg it was toughbook 54) which had 800 or 1000 nits can't remember.

Dell actually uses a bonding technology that makes the screen more visible. But also made it more expensive.

Theoretically something around 500 can be pretty good, but this Acer isn't it.

I think that review is for an older gen versions. i10 and has different ports. It may not matter for the screen, but just noting it.

Well, first of all, why do you think your criteria of brighter screen fails here because it has a 450 nits screen. You failed to realize that the review link you have given, is the older version with older Comet Lake CPU.

And now, your concept of what a rugged Laptop is, is basically faulty at best. Rugged laptop does not mean taking the laptop outside your building and sitting in a park or Umbrella or using it in a train or bus. It means, working in areas which can cause damage to your laptop due to extreme conditions like Dust, water or extreme temperature.field workers in working in Electric and Gas Companies, Cable and Internet operators, Geological Survey and other scientific field workers need these kind of "Rugged" laptops. It is not for just sitting outside your building.

Reviews describe this as rugged light. Acer seems to target low price markets so a 700 nit screen is out of reach.
