I saw this on sale at Costco and it looks nice. Until you start to look into the spec sheet and quickly found out how much they cut corners just for these low prices. No backlit keyboard (most people can live with it), Zen 2 AMD processor which is released in 2020 (not efficient enough because Zen 3 is what made AMD shine in the spotlight), and 40 Wh battery vs 47-50+ on other brands. Yes, you can argue it got a 1080p touch screen, 512GB SSD, and 16 GB RAM does make up for it.

Just wait for another laptop deal because you still got 3 weeks left until it expires.

If you need one right now I would get this deal from Costco at $450. Expires on 6/23.

Yep looks like a good deal until you look at the specs.

Spent a few minutes playing with the Acer Aspire 3 floor model at my local Costco. Something just didn't fee right with the mouse pad and tracking. Cannot really explain it, it just felt off compared to the touchpad and tracking on the HP 17.3 i5-1335U and Lenovo Flex 5 14 Ryzen 7 7730U that were right next to it. Other then that it seemed like it would be adequate (with its previous gen processor) if one needs a spare backup laptop for the kitchen or for younger kids to use or for elderly basics light web surfing and media streaming.
