Note that Acer' Ebay store is a separate entity, Acer would not recognize them as official.

The ebay store is notorious for selling dented, scratched units with mediocre battery. Do not expect pristine condition refurbished units as you would usually get in from manufacturers.

I bought Acer Nitro 5 from them, and the battery turned out to be faulty. It was a little over the return window, they wouldn't honor it. Not to mention the unit was noticeably used and scratched

Thanks OP - I was kinda peeved about not finding that perfect deal all throughout BF/CM. Then your post alert saved the day! For the solid build quality and specs I'm comfortable with the compromises, especially at under $400. Great find.

I bought one, but I posted it! Bought an R7-4700u 8/512 version for spouse almost exactly 2 years ago for just under $600, she loves it. Also note this laptop, new, was a Slickdeal for $650 back in June.

Seems like a really good price for what you get.
Edit: Just got it. Reviews from a few sites seem favorable.
