So glad to see 1920x1200 aspect ratios making a comeback. 16" is the perfect size too.

Battery, screen looks decent but RTX 4050, core i5 for 900$, not a slick deal or even close right ?

How about a lower i5, half the ram and 3050 for $600?

That one was 400-480 year ago, black Friday deals, however ignore the price since its a personal budget, but the Legion pro or slim with higher processor, RTX 4060 or higher add to that the build quality and many other factors within price range, that's what am talking about

It's pretty slick I think, battery capacity could've been a little higher and storage 1 tb, would've been perfect, but this is a good price too

I was thinking the same thing and don't understand the haters. It's funny to think about how long this resolution has been available in laptops though.

I had the Dell Inspiron 8000 in the early 2000s and loved it. It was released in 22 years ago, had a 15.4" display and 1920x1200 resolution.

The 4050 outperform the 3060 and 3070. This IS a slick deal

It's a fast i5... totally fine for this build.

90 Whr isn't enough capacity? 99 Whr is the most a laptop can have...

I'd have to chuck the 1TB anyway... to have 2x2TB drives.

4050 doesn't even match a full power 3060. But it is much more efficient and has frame generation.

You're not looking at the 3060 full powered mobile versus full powered 4050 mobile.

Sorry bud. I am having choppy internet. Your link reviewed the 6 gb version of for 3060 (140 watt) and 4050 (105 watt). You can see the spec at 0:56 on your video. But the acer's card is the variant with 140 way tdp. You can dig more into it if you'll like when they truly run at full power (140 watt each).
