Agreed on good features, but Beware of cpu naming conventions nowadays!
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comm...ps_naming/

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!

Quote from Dr.Wajahat :
To everyone questioning whether this has a touch screen, it actually DOES have a touch display, despite eBay listing stating otherwise.
Despite having a model number, the exact part number of this is NX.KHDAA.004 as stated in the link and according to the official Acer listing of this part number, it has a touch display: https://www.acer.com/us-en/suppor...04/details (go over the 'product details').
Hope this settles the debate, which it shouldn't have been in the first place though because I already clarified and mentioned the link in the 'Community Wiki' section of this post.
Thanks for the details. Appreciate it. I wonder if anyone got these delivered just to confirm what Acer is sending. I will update here once I receive mine.

1400+ units sold as per ebay listing. Why Acer has these many refurbished laptops?

I ordered the Dell with the i5-1235u for $323, Acer refurb with i5 for $313, and this laptop with the 7520u.

All have come in.
The 7520u that I was sent, does NOT have a touchscreen.

The Acer with the i5, I was sent did not have the Ethernet port.

Not sure what Acer is doing but the descriptions were not correct on both the laptops.

That being said.

Acer with the i5 benchmarked and felt the fastest out of all of them.

The Dell has a superior screen and FAR superior speakers.

The Acer 7520u felt ok but was a little sluggish at times even though it has more ram.

I will be keeping the Dell, even with the stupid hinge design, its slimmer, the fan doesn't run as high or loud, doesn't seem to get as hot as both the Acer, and looks and sounds better.

I cannot find the Dell you are referring to. Is that the price after tax? A link would be helpful.

I just ordered Dell Inspiron 15 3535 Laptop: Ryzen 5 7530U, 15.6" FHD Touch, 8GB DDR4, 512GB SSD

Is this acer laptop better than the dell?
What price? 7520u is a joke, they call it ryzen5 when its a quad core, and the 2 means zen2. That said this price is low enough that its still not a bad deal and 7520u is enough for most tasks, but its very misleading naming by AMD.
7530u is proper ryzen5 (hex core) and a full Zen generation newer.

It has a touchscreen? How come someone receive it a few posts back reported that it does NOT have a touchscreen?
Who to believe?​

If you had to pick one person has substantially more rep points. Believe what you want to believe 🤷

Just received my order. Can confirm it is a touch screen. Also comes with licensed Microsoft Office. A very good deal for a nice laptop.

Mines is a touchscreen as well. Looks practically new and also came with an Acer laptop sleeve which was unexpected. Did notice it was a little sluggish, but hadn't had a chance to mess around with it. If the TouchPad isn't responding don't forget to turn it on. There's a quick key on there apparently. Was about to send it back because I thought it was defective, but someone looking at the laptop must of hit it 😆

Can confirm it HAS A TOUCHSCREEN. It also purports to do USB C charging but does not come with a USB C charger. Comes with a typical ac adaptor. It looks and feels new. Screen is super meh. Kind of regret buying it but it was only $260. Probably will make it a gift for someone.
