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!

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.

ASUS looks like better CPU, better RAM, backlit keyboard, but everything else the same. What about GPU?

This one is definitely several times faster if running CPU bound tasks. (6 times highe CPU Mark score)

I completely agree about ASUS's quality compared to HP - the HP's I've had in the past had batteries that degraded quickly and the fans were loud and always running hot.
I bought that one 2 years ago. But I busted up the touchpad by hitting it too hard while playing a game. I wanted to fix the touchpad but the fix is pretty expensive. This laptop has really seemed so slow lately and its aggravating. Is this Acer an upgrade or just the exact same?
I wouldn't mind it for the price, plus I have a $40 off code to use at Target that I assume would work. My only thing is if I should just deal with this busted touchpad laptop, its still ok most of the time. I feel like Lenovo's are cheaply made, all my lenovos have had busted trackpads or something else bust pretty easy.
Is the 11th gen i3 going to make a difference over 10th? Are the screens and speakers the same? I just can't tell from this info. From what I can tell they're the same.

$300 is $50 more than this $250. Dual core i3 is good enough for some people who just need to browse or do regular office work.
