Good evening! What's wrong with these specifications? I see that others are with better popularity, although apparently it looks good. thanks!

I'm not sure. This and the other Acer aspire 3 refurbished deal are both very good.

This does get you thunderbolt 4, intel instead of amd, and better build quality for 50 bucks. I like how this can be upgraded with a second m2 ssd. It is only 12 gb of ram but can be upgraded.

I'm seeing $349.99 - is there a coupon code to get the price down to $314.99?

This has a lot of nice features considering the budget-level price.

For starters, even good sales don't typically get a i5-1235U at this price range (12th gen and benchmarks very well).

The IPS display is rated 300 but comes in a bit lower in real-world performance, which is much better than most laptops available at $300.

Another rarity at this price range is the Thunderbolt 4 and 802.11ax WiFi 6E.

It also has 3x USB-A 3.2 Gen2 ports, HDMI 2.1, Ethernet (very rare these days at $300) and 512GB NVMe with a second NVMe port available.

The only issue appears to be that it has one on-board SODIMM while the other is upgradeable, meaning that the most you can go is a single 16GB DDR4 SODIMM for 20GB total RAM. However, for many people in this price-range, 20GB is likely fine.

Pretty good for $315.

Looks like the Acer 5 (Intel) is a LITTLE bit better than the Acer 3 (AMD). Ended up getting the AMD build for grandma and Intel for myself. Extra $50 for the Intel isn't too bad considering its a noticeable increase in speed/performance. But they are both great systems.

These say they have HDMI 2.1, but since the HDMI 2.1 spec basically means nothing specific anymore ...

Does anyone know if these can support 4K120hz output with HDR over HDMI? I'm thinking of getting one as a Moonlight streaming client.
