OP says that in his post…
I bought this about a year ago for $899
Worth it?
For me yes since I needed something very light for travel. If you're not going to travel much you'd probably better served with a more traditional build.
You mean $64.

You can check their battery life. Mine had about 95%. So I would say it's pretty decent.
When I got it, the screen has a bright spot like something was pressing up against it, mostly noticeable with a white screen or if you go to one of those dead pixel testing websites. I have been in talks with Acer to get it repaired since the first day I got it.
Not in a hurry for a new laptop but if I guess if they won't do a price adjustment, I'll just return it and buy it again...
edit: I just noticed that there is a difference from the one I got @ $680. Both are sold from Acer with the same Product Model: SFX14-41G-R1S6 but the main difference, that I can see, is the OS...$616 is Windows 10 Home vs $680 is Windows 11 Home. As far as I know, upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 should be free. Since the screen is defective anyways, might as well ask for a refund and just buy the windows 10 version anyways.
Update: tried for a price adjustment, no go. reason "... not the same specifications..."
I am guessing that the Windows 10 Home version are from an earlier manufacturing date as the one I'm returning with Windows 11 Home has a MFG Date:2022/03/08
