Ask enough people and you'll find bad things about every manufacturer, because they all suck in their own way. The truth is that probably 99% of average users have a completely normal experience.
I've got the same laptop (same chassis, screen, RAM and SSD) but Ryzen 5700U APU. It's been a pleasure to use: well built, works well for productivity, excellent screen but with one dead pixel in my case. Not covered by mfg warranty (no premier panel guarantee here), but depending on return policy this risk can be mitigated
Here's a great case of you get what you pay for. Having been a tech and repaired and refurbished every brand of laptop both US and EU for 16 years I can tell you that Acers have always been near the bottom of the quality list. For example, a 14" screen Windows laptop with soldered RAM? Right? Wait until the system needs service, good luck with that.
This laptop is cheap from top to bottom, give the keyboard a try and see if the feel is acceptable. I would definitely put it though a test before plunking down $400. For that kind of cash you can get a far superior off lease Dell Latitude a couple of years old. After all you are not buying a state of the art hot rod with this laptop.
