Kind of a strange combo. Retro feel with 16:9 screen and almost 6 lbs. for a 15.6" laptop! But very good power. If you're looking for a desktop replacement to plug into a monitor, this could fit the bill.

Seems like a pretty banging deal on a fully powered 3060 laptop. It's ACER refurbed and comes with a 2 year warranty.

This unit reviewed pretty well when I was looking at it as an option. It was $999 at it's lowest during the holiday shopping season. I ended up with a Legion 5 Pro for $1099 or this likely would have been my choice.

I bought this as a gift for Christmas when it was on sale in November. Opened it up Christmas morning and it was DOA, so that gives you an idea of the quality control. Past the 30-day eBay return deadline. Now I have to deal with Acer's customer service which is a nightmare. YMMV of course but just wanted to share my experience.

Killer Deal. Was going to get the Acer Nitro but this blow that away. This is even better than the Black Friday deal which had the 11th gen cpu.

I received mine from previous deal (ebay 15% off). It looks brand new. Son has been using it for couple weeks without any issue. I am very happy with this laptop.

I was able to grab this on two separate occasions during the past two months (15 & 12% off). Both arrived very quickly, look brand new and perform spectacular. Got it for the kids, so they don't mind the heavy weight and the screen is absolutely beautiful.

Got one of these back in November for $760-something. Great purchase. No problems. Can't beat it for the price.
