My mom just wanted something with touchscreen to view recipes in the kitchen, as well as web browsing, YouTube. This did the trick. Thanks OP!

If you are looking for long-term laptops, then you may want to consider a Framework laptop.

At this price point, these laptops probably won't last that long (10+ years) although this deal does come with 2 year warranty.
You recommend any of the recent Dell Inspiron deals at this price point????

I bought this. https://slickdeals.net/f/17082565-dell-inspiron-15-laptop-ryzen-5-7530u-8gb-512gb-ssd-15-6-1080p-touch-330-free-s-h?v=1

Touch screen not necessary.

Out of curiosity why do people like touchscreens on a laptop. Gaming? I can't imagine touch being useful for my use case, web browsing, excel, word but maybe I just need to try it.
There are certain cases where it's convenient, especially compared to a mediocre touchpad. It's especially useful for reviewing construction plans as PDFs, but nobody actually does that.

Given two laptops for the same price, I definitely pick touch. For my mom, wife, and daughter, I'd pay $40 for touch. For myself, I get the one with the best GPU for the price.

What about the Intel version that's $10 more but with less memory and storage (which presumably can be upgraded)?

Acer Aspire 3 - 15.6" Laptop Intel Core i5-1235U 1.30GHz 8GB RAM 256GB SSD W11H
That i5 is better, not a ton better, but distinctly better.
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mob...436.0.html

I'm reading through this thread to see if anyone has info about battery life or the i5's GPU. EDIT: The i5 has a better GPU
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Int...209.0.html
It could probably play most games on "very low" settings, especially from pre-2020.

I was curious about the touchscreen, so I looked further at Acer Refurbished on ebay. Here is what i found:

*No touchscreen model A315-24PT-R4U2 but with 16GB RAM

*Touchscreen model A315-24PT-R90Z but with 8GB RAM

Acer Refurbished on eBay and their refurb web site had the wrong overview info saying no touchscreen. The official Acer website and the Costco website entries for A315-24PT-R4U2 both show a touchscreen.

So either Acer Refurbished is going to send a different laptop entirely that doesn't match the model number or they made a mistake on the overview and will send out the right model with the touchscreen.

Either way, you get free returns.

I bought an Acer refurb i5 laptop last December that has been fine and supposed to be my personal machine. But my kids have been using it too much so I'm getting this one to give them and get my laptop back.

I wish it had a fingerprint reader, but I'll just add a cheap USB one.

Looks great, I got a acer Chromebook for $269, so this is much better spec. It was a premium Chromebook with i5 though. Windows can tend to slower over time, risk of viruses so I think I hopefully will get good use out of it. Mostly for browsing. Lot of people buy expensive laptops and just use chrome browser in the end. It's called Acer 516 if anyone is interested in checking it out on eBay.

This is a good deal but Acer aspire 5 available for 314.99.

Touchscreen , i5, aluminum cover, thunderbolt 4, and you can add a second hard drive (m2 ssd).

Wipe Windows and install Linux.
I hate Chromebook because it's so limited, the lack of Windows/Super keys and F keys are deal breaker if you want other OS on it

Does seller or buyer pay return shipping? Ebay says seller, but product page says buyer pays return shipping

I love the idea of Framework but at 3x the cost for same specs, I can't afford them
