Are your referring to that HP one for $255?
It has a more capable and few months newer 4C/8T AMD Ryzen 3 5300U processor (vs this 2C/4T Core i3 1115G4). with higher multi-core Passmark of 10040 against 6212 of Acer, though the Core i3 1115G4 performs slightly better in single-core tasks (HP 2379 vs Acer 2674).

Both have upgradable 8GB RAM (Acer has 1x4GB soldered + 4GB removable, HP has 2x4GB removable), same 256GB SSD storage and inferior non-IPS FHD display panel.

I understand that HP laptop offers HP Fast Charge, which will take you from zero to 50% charge in just 30-45 minutes

In all aspects, I'd go for the HP for $5 more, unless you will need the RJ-45 LAN port which only Acer has.

Not great, as it makes this much more of a right price rather than a slickdeal. This is the dual-core i-series CPU, putting it head and shoulders above any of the Atom-based CPU systems at even slightly lower prices (typically in the $200-ish price point). However, a true slickdeal at this price point, and a much better long-term investment as a productivity laptop, would be a laptop equipped with a four core i series CPU (these kind of deals did exist in the prior black friday).

A search for i3 laptop sorted by newest listing and filtered for under $300 had multiple pages of listings over the last year of comparable dual-core i-series laptops priced between $200-300.

Good luck!

I have the HP and it's a great laptop. Plays top games at 720p lowest settings. And plays average games at 1080p medium. Charging is very fast.

This is a GREAT DEAL, even if you don't upgrade anything (other than switch Windows out of that stupid S-mode).
It would be a FANTASTIC DEAL if you could upgrade the RAM and SSD (but 256GB is more than fine for such a machine.
If someone could confirm that - then this is worthy of being a front-page deal!

The often overlooked plus side is the i3 - because it is a rather low-power CPU you will get a lot of battery life out of it. Coupled with a very decent CPU performance for this i3 - it's a very nice road warrior.

For some who just needs internet and streaming things via USB external HDD would this be much better than the Acer?

The HP keyboard is an abomination.
If you're an advanced touch-typist and you've memorized the HP key layout I guess you'll be fine but if you ever need to actually look for a key the black on silver layout is a visual nightmare.

Why not buy this https://store.acer.com/en-us/aspi...sREALw_wcB

The screen is much more superior (IPS!) and you can slap two 8GB sticks in there and call it a day.
