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!

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.
For the price you can't go wrong. I got mine yesterday and it looks like new and works as intended. I'm very happy with it

Extra 10% off, lowered to 8%
On 289.99 ~290 base price, 2% would mean a price increase of ~$5.80
You'll get a 23.20 discount at the cart bringing the price down to 266.79

You're right, I'm having difficulty finding it also.

The only place I could find info on that was on the Newegg page for this product. It says 3.92 lbs. I believe this is the same model number.

It seems odd that Acer doesn't seem to have the manual for this laptop in a place online that's easy to find.

(Update - and I just realized that the specs on the Newegg page don't show units for the weight. I guess prob safe to assume pounds, but I can't say for sure.)

FWIW, this somewhat recent review of an Acer Aspire 3 also gives 3.92 lbs for the weight. Although, the specs listed are different, so perhaps not the exact same model.

Thanks for sharing your impressions! If you don't mind me asking, how does the quality of the screen look to you? Are the colors good?

A new Gateway w/ 16 gb for $279-$299 was ubiquitous on SD during the Christmas season last year as I bought one, but it has been absent this year, it seems.
We got one several years ago. The battery bloated and the keyboard is no longer working. Replacement battery from AliExpress worked out, but the keyboard is integrated into palm rest and sells as much as the laptop now.

Several people of late here on SD have mentioned problems with their Gateway from last year, inc. at least 1 which went kaput in just some 2-4 months w/ no response from the manufacturer after his notification. For the nonce at least, mine performs well, but after hearing all the problems folks have had, I would not buy another 1.

I received mine this past Thursday. It is actually touchscreen. There are no visible blemishes whatsoever, and for all intents and purposes it appears new. The neoprene zip case was a nice touch as that was not expected since I already have a laptop case.

This was a fantastic Slick Deal!!!

I got an email from eBay saying that I have a 2 year SquareTrade warranty gratis.

I hope this laptop will be decent to good. My current laptop is a 4 1/2 year old Acer Aspire 5 with an 8th generation Core i5 and a crappy 1080p display that surely can't be IPS. The touchpad sometimes stopped working since I upgraded to Win11.

Gonna miss the Ethernet port and that third Type A USB port. At least the USBC port can do charging and video and the HDMI port of my new laptop can do 4k@60Hz.
