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!

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 😆
Yep, that TouchPad not working threw me off too. I was searching for drivers to re-install and thinking about returning before I realized that it was just turned off. Just had to turn it on Big Grin

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.
Yes, it comes with Office 365, but it is not licensed. If you try to use any office app (like word or excel) it will prompt you to either enter an activation code or to login with a work/school id that includes Office 365.

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.

Great laptop. I have the Acer 5 which is a bit more polished (metal). Solid computer.

What Radeon video card is in this?
Radeon 610M. It's weak for gaming.

How is the keyboard and touchpad? Previous laptops with the 10-key included have been uncomfortable for me.

I know it's on the cheap side, but how is the build quality? Touchpad and hinges seem decent?

there is 11th generation I3 version. Cheaper and just as fast but better laptop with Aspire 5 versus the 3,

Now, if they start to make these with the 12 generation, that would be a killer deal. The i3 in 12th generation is faster than i5 in older generations.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT ASPIRE.
https://www.t3.com/features/acer-...r-aspire-5

The Aspire 5 also has superior wireless and wired connectivity, support for more memory and storage and a screen upgrade.

Overall, we'd lean towards the Aspire 5 for its superior screen, plus that USB-C port and WiFi 6 connectivity. The classier alloy chassis doesn't hurt, either. Just don't go mad with that options list.

Don't why or how but mine shows licensed. I can use any of the Office apps.

Who to believe?​
Got mine today and confirm that it's a touchscreen. Same feedback as @arkaaya except mine didn't come in a sleeve.
