This being officially "EBay-certified refurbished" means it comes with a two year warranty which might actually be longer than a new warranty if you don't use a credit card to extend a standard 1yr warranty.

Keyword here is "refurbished", I got this in the Amazon truck deal for 680~ new. So far very happy with this laptop, hard push to click the power cord is not a deal breaker for me, performance is very good for home office (not a pro gammer but is a budget laptop so don't expect much). Conclusión if yue don't mind refurbish and want to save some $$, this is a good budget laptop

of course there are better laptops but 3050 at this price is hard to find, plus not everyone has spare 1k or more for a gaming laptop, so thumps up

Nice. YMMV offer of 5% back in eBay bucks is worth activating before you get this if eligible.

Also, two memory slots on this model.

It really depends who you buy it through. When I got my Nitro AN515, the version sold at Sams Club had a 3 year warranty (2 year Acer, 1 additional through Sams), when the almost exact same one at Best Buy only had a 1 year warranty. Both had the exact same specs, just the model number after the 515 was different.

Thanks for mentioning the warranty, been looking for a decent laptop with solid specs. I don't mind a refurbish so the 2y warranty is huge plus.

How is the cpu compared to the 10500h and 11400h? 10300h only has 4 cores.

Full specs here

5 lbs. Isn't bad at all. I think the only thing missing that I need is USB C Power delivery.

Spec says it has 3.2 Gen 2 and here's what I read somewhere...
Both USB 3.2 Gen 1 and Gen 2 support the USB Power Delivery Specification (USB PD), with Gen 2 offering up to 20 volts of power at 5 amps for a potential total of 100 watts through supported hardware. This is a major leap forward from the previous USB 2.0 standard which was capable of providing 2.5 watts of power.

I've had good luck with Acer refurbished monitors in the past.

I guess this is a good enough starter gaming PC. The quad core is probably good enough. The 3060m beats an 1060 6GB by a bit. That 4GBs of VRAM is however a real limitation and expect to spend an extra $40+ for a 2.5" drive very soon after purchase for usable space.

I purchased the $550 Lenovo. I'm returning it and getting this for the superior graphics card and 2 year warranty vs. 1. Plus a bit cheaper. Seems like a great deal

Is the RAM upgradeable for this one?

If so, how much does another 8gb cost? Or is there only one RAM slot?

I need 16gb of RAM for work purposes.


Edit: And is the 3050 equivalent to a 2060?
