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

I am noticing the screen is darkening from the bottom half a bit and I keep trying to adjust brightness. It's illuminated enough from the top half but feels a little darker at the bottom half of the screen. Is this because it is a matte screen? Sorry, it's my first time experience with a matte screen, so not sure if this is a laptop issue or a matte screen works like this?
Updated BIOS, used media creation tool to delete partitions and reinstall Windows 11 Home, used OOBE command to create local account without internet, Acer drivers from website didn't cover all hardware so I used Windows Update for last two missing drivers. I did put back AMD Adrenalin.
Left it on for hours with charger plugged in, it can easily wake up from sleep, didn't feel any slowness, brightness is even all across the screen.

Other than a couple of very minor scuffs on the screen and case, it looks like new.
Only significant problem is that the barrel connector on the charger I was sent is broken, so the charger doesn't work. It charges fine through the USB-C port, though.
After using this laptop for a few days, still the biggest con for me is the keyboard. It just has kind of a cheap feel to me. Maybe I'll get used to it. Other than that, I am really happy with it.

AMD cpus don't have e-cores, so it should work. 🤷 ♂️
