I bought one. For a 14" 2-in-1 convertible with i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and 2 year warranty, this is a solid deal, IMHO. Yes it's recertified, but it's directly from Acer, and they have very good seller feedback on this item and in general (https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedbac...&sort=TIME).

I ordered Friday morning. It shipped Monday and it has expected delivery tomorrow afternoon. I will report back after I have had a chance to unbox and check it out.

Warranty active since Friday. Missing out on a week of Warranty doesn't seem like a big deal, however, I just got a brand new Water Heater under warranty in October. I noticed the leak and I made the claim 2 days before the 5 year warranty was over. A week less would have cost me another $450 on that....

Got mine yesterday. Looks like it's new and has a brand new battery. I updated the OS and it's now a Chromebook Plus. Initial impressions are very positive! Smilie
how can you tell that the battery is brand new?

Ordered Monday and mine hasn't shipped either. Also got the warranty.
They shipped today, 4 days after ordering. Will take another 6 days for it to arrive. That's ridiculous.

so mine arrived. not a mark on it, looks brand new. battery also has zero cycles.

working on the chrome OS plus update right now

weird thing though, under storage management, it says the "System" is using 60.7GB of space!!! new to Chromes OS, is that normal? Some Chromebooks do not even have that much hard space to begin with. What gives? Thanks for any help with this.

I don't know the answer but mine also has 64.1GB in use and 192GB available and Memory (ram) has only 1.68GB of 7.55GB available with just the Chrome browser running. Confused

In Chrome, use CROSH "Ctrl+Alt+T" then type "battery_test" or click on the Diagnostics app. Both will tell you Battery Health percentage and number of charging cycles. Mine was 100% and 1 cycle (after I charged it).

I have done some searching on this and found nothing concrete, mostly older posts but nothing definitive. Would love to hear from someone who has experience on the subject. Can't imagine what is in that 60GB, I thought ChromeOS was at most a few GB, there should be nothing else taking up the space at this point.

on a side note, I like the keyboard, much better than my Matebook D. I was expecting more from the screen though. It seems fine. But coming from a 250nit 45% NTSC screen to a 350 nit 100% sRGB screen I was expecting to notice more of a difference right away. Haven't been outside though, the Matebook screen was almost unusable outdoors.

OS is taking a bit of getting used to, but so far so good. The new Microsoft 365 integration is great, and I was able to add OneDrive right into Files. The only app issue I have noticed is I tried getting Edge and it just crashes, useless. Very weird because it works fine on my phone.

Got mine, it's a really nice machine. super fast. They also included a mouse that is completely silent. Strangely though my battery health tested at 96% despite the battery cycles saying 2? Weird.

Mine arrived with a few faint scratches on the shell. I messaged Acer through eBay and they refunded me 10%.
