I've been using this laptop multiple hours as a daily traveler since Feb 2023, and I absolutely love it. It's a solid 5-of-5 stars... and I paid $850 for it! Solid performance, good build, gorgeous display, bafflingly light weight, zero fan issues. Btw, I do mainly data science programming and other general work/professional type stuff with mine -- zero gaming, some youtube premium.
I would note four things:
Keyboard does NOT have the number pad and remaining QWERTY keys are centered relative to display (which is precisely the no-numpad config I was looking for).
My config ad said 400 nits, but my display came with 500 nits.
I occasionally run a VM or two a la HyperV -- acceptable user experience, but limited by the overall 16GB.
My early boot-up squawked cuz I needed to accept a bitlocker related config, but had not.
Emphasis #4: The issue is not with the unit -- it's basically asking if you want to proceed with the MS Win11 Pro bitlocker config.
Now that I've dropped this post, on to Costco.com to order a 2nd for Fedora Core 39 only config!
Hope this helps.
I'm sure you can answer your own question kid.

I agree that the Zenbook deal is also awesome. (I was actually lurking on that thread yesterday.) Given my direct experience with this lappy though, I'm more confident in my testament to this deal.

As for "anti-burn-in", I need you to clarify your specific question/concern -- the meaning of "burn-in" varies where tech is concerned.

With regards to burn-in, I'm referring to the permanent image retention that OLEDs are at risk for. I know that manufacturers like Asus include Windows utilities on their OLED laptops to mitigate the issue (shift images around periodically, etc) and I would assume Acer does the same. In my reading and asking around on Ubuntu forums, it doesn't look like there are any Linux utilities that do what the bundled Windows utilities do so I was thinking I might have to accept running Windows 11 on an OLED laptop to keep the display in good condition.
