Hey y'all, stop piling up on this guy! He said it's HIS rule, he has he reasons. He should probably explain, that would be nice. This is a great machine by all measures and reviews, but maybe he's been put through hell by Acer customer support? laugh out loud
Here's something that might actually be more helpful than hostile posts - An in depth review of this machine (lower specs but still):

Meanwhile, play nice. I'm sick of this sh*t.
Why can no one read your comment properly! People, he is saying that not having 16:10 is a weak spot for other laptops and an advantage of this laptop.

Looks like a great deal to me. 16:10 aspect ration and an HD webcam.... the two typical weak spots for many 360 degree foldable laptops like this. I would buy if I hadn't jumped on a recent Samsung deal. For what it's worth, I've had two Acer laptops, and did not have a problem with either. They were solid.

Can people get work done on a 13" laptop or are these more for surfing and leisure?

Indeed!
I have the i5-1135G7 version of this laptop and I love it. Productivity is a charm on it (use Word and PowerPoint on a daily basis) and so is media consumption. That's why 16:10 ratio is considered to be the sweet spot for many, if not all.

Correct. 16:10 is (in my opinion) a bit better than 16:9. And the webcam resolution is higher than the typical 720p associated with most Tiger Lake laptops.

how about the i5 version with 8 GB memory - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/s...hh753vlzrq
I know the memory is non upgradeable but for $549 and with Amex Offer for $75 off $500+ on Microsoft store seems to make it $474+ tax (it came out ~$525 for me in CA).

I have neither experience of shopping from Microsoft nor had any Acer 2-in-1 earlier. I guess I'll find out.
Please let me know if ayone has any experience for this laptop, greatly appreciated.

Acer certainly isn't my favorite brand and not likely to be as high quality in comparison to some others but I'm not sure you can disqualify it entirely. Acer products I've owned have held up. Entitled to your opinion, but I'd be curious why you feel that way.
You're right about the Acer brand BUT nowadays electronic brands are definitely not what they used to be...
I purchased one of the last Sony Vaio ultrabooks made and it was 99% as good as an Macbook Air.

Hi.
I have the i5 version of this which I have been using it for the past 3-4 months. So far, it has been great and perfect for my needs, more or less. You need to take into consideration the purpose and usage you'd be buying this laptop for. This is very good and appropriately equipped for light-moderate general productivity, media consumption, very light photo and video editing, and very light gaming; anything more demanding than that would probably not be suited on the i5 version.

I love this machine but there are certain things that I find annoying/disappointing, for e.g.,
  1. The speakers on this are pretty bad (not pathetic but certainly worse than my expectations which weren't really that much to begin with)
  2. The battery life isn't what I had hoped or expected considering this is EVO certified; I usually get 5-6 hours max of general productivity (my unit could be a lemon but I doubt that)
  3. The pg up and pg down keys right above the arrow keys have been utter nuisance and I haven't gotten used to it even after using the laptop for 3-4 months
Other than that I have no complaints. The screen is great; vibrant and bright enough for my use. It has strong glare/reflections but they've never really bothered me (since I'm used to it from my previous laptop). Touchscreen is something I prefer and so far it's been perfect and so is the pen-input for my needs. Keyboard is good, a bit shallow for my liking but no major complaints. Touchpad is smooth and adequately spaced. Fingerprint scanner is fast and reliable. The tablet and tent mode work great too. The screen does exhibit some flex but I've always used my machines with utmost care so it hasn't worried me much.

It's a good machine. If you have the budget then go for this i7 version or else the i5 is good too, esp at a $525 price point. I got it for $640.

As far as Acer products go. Their costumer service is well-known to suck and is terrible; people usually also dislike their products but so far I've had no complaints at all in that regard. Every company has their share of problems and lemons for products but they also have good products (like this one).

Hope I helped, despite replying so late.

Just the resolution is smaller, however, it is 14" compared to 13.3".
The higher resolution screen is heavier. The pixels weigh a lot.
