Despite the eBay listing stating it doesn't have a touch screen, it actually does according to the official spec sheet of this particular model number NX.KHDAA.004: https://www.acer.com/us-en/suppor...04/details

Your comment cannot be blank.

Agreed on good features, but Beware of cpu naming conventions nowadays!

not a great processor. It is good enough imo but effectively 2 generations old.
Just got mine.

1. Can confirm it has a touchscreen.
2. Laptop was in a nice zippered soft carry sleeve
3. Laptop looks & feels brand new. No signs of use at all. I went over every part of it, and the only thing I could find was a tiny hairline scratch next one of the feet.
4. Very fast, especially compared to my old 6-gen i5 Thinkpad.
5. Has some bloatware, need to uninstall.

Overall, great value for the money. Very satisfied.
This has alot of great features: USB C charging, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, a very solid processor, and a touchscreen. Great deal for the price!

To all the knowledgeable people out there - where does this ACER laptop stand as compared to other popular slickdeals around the same price point- Staples/ Target/ Dell Technology? Thanks in advance !

Edit - I don't need a touch screen.

I don't know that there's much of a difference they all use the same parts, this one just happens to have an "Acer" sticker.

Great deal OP!

Seems pretty good for the price. Reviews on Amazon are very positive. Wonder why it is not getting much love here.

There is also a version with i5-1235U for $300 ($270 after 10% off) but with 8GB RAM & 256GB SSD.

I5 1235u vs ryzen 5 7520u.... Tough choice. i5 is arguably better but worth the trade off of more ram, and larger SSD?

Yep, struggled with that myself. Get the i5 for $10 more and then spend another $50 or so to upgrade the RAM & SSD?

In the end, wanted to stay under $300 as this laptop is only for regular home use like browsing, streaming and maybe light word processing. So decided that the bigger RAM & SSD is more important than processing power. Currently using an old Dell with a 6th gen i5, so this Ryzen is more than sufficient. Placed my order.

Also looked at the Dell Inspiron 15 3520 Laptop deal with the i5 for $291 new from Dell. Has the same 8GB RAM (but DDR4) and 256GB SSD. But this Acer has DDR5 RAM, USB-C (including display & power) and WiFi-6. Plus some were saying that the i5 on that Dell is 'gimped' and cannot get its full potential.

So.... back to Acer Aspire. Unless something better pops-up over the next week. I find that the best deals usually show up after the Black Friday & Cyber Monday craze.

Does it really have a touchscreen?
The Acer site says no, but it does have a touchpad?
