- Refurbished by 3rd party but sold directly by Acer
- IPS screen
- 4GB RAM soldered but 1 open slot for upgrade
- M2 NVME upgradeable
- also an open 2.5" SATA port
- Ryzen 3 3350U so it is the quad core
All stated it is a decent deal for an entry laptop. S mode is a downside, though easily switched to regular version.

Other than the missing 2.5" kit, I'm happy with it so far. No complaints with the screen. The keys on the keyboard are kinda mushy, but I expected as much. Nice that it has a fingerprint reader. I swapped in a spare 1TB m2 SSD and installed a fresh copy of Windows 11. I don't have immediate plans to use the 2.5" bay, but I do want the option.
Running fine, but I'm definitely going to need more than 4GB RAM, and it has a single slot for adding RAM. I'm probably going to order a 16GB module for a total of 20GB, which may be overkill, but I'll probably run Minecraft Java Edition with mods, so maybe not overkill.
I'm mainly a Mac user, but also have a desktop PC. I wanted a Windows laptop for some light gaming, something I could let my son play on (stuff like Minecraft, and strategy games like Civilization, AoE2, etc). I'll also use it for miscellaneous other stuff. It might be better for remote desktop to my PC than my MacBook Pro is. I've bought Chromebooks at this price, and it'll serve as a beater laptop as they do.
I'll see so how it goes. I would have gotten a business class refurb at this price if I could get one with a similar iGPU that can handle light gaming; I honestly haven't shopped around that much but didn't see any similar deals on comparable business class refurbs in the little bit of searching I did before buying this. I have an old HP Elitebook that this is replacing as my designated Windows laptop.
Edit: Note that USB-C does not have power delivery, so can't charge through it, you charge using included barrel plug charger. Also I could not get HDMI USB-C adapters to work (but it has a built in HDMI port)
Edit: Fixed typo I meant I installed "Windows 11" not "Windows 8"
BUT
At this price does anything compete? Btw, I've been an Acer user and still have my first Acer from 2002. Acer, like any other brand, has differing specs. Some are good, and some aren't. I got a bad AMD phenom laptop back in the day, but so did anyone who chose AMD back when it sucked

Which is similar if not slower than an Intel 8th gen i5.
In my opinion, your better off buying business class refurb hardware rather than consumer grade hardware. Acer even when new is not known for being very durable let alone one that has been used.
HP probook, elite book and dell latitude are far superior as far as build quality goes and longevity for similar price and performance.
And they tend to be better able to handle use and abuse rather than Acer.
