Despite the eBay listing stating it doesn't have a touch screen, it actually does according to the official spec sheet of this particular model number NX.KHDAA.004: https://www.acer.com/us-en/suppor...04/details

I can confirm. I got in on the last deal and it is in fact touchscreen. Great value at this price point Smilie

one concern I have is that the unit seems a little finicky trying to power back up after it goes to sleep or is shut down. not sure how, if all, that can be resolved (unless this is considered 'normal' behavior)

i agree, got this for my mom last time. this is touch and she likes it

on the sleeping thing, that is a OS issue not the laptop. MS has always be hit or miss with their sleep, hibernate, etc. its a "feature" you just have to deal with.

How is the battery life? That 40kwh battery is tiny for a 15" laptop. This will probably need to be plugged in a lot, so the battery capacity of this refurb would be a concern (how much the previous owner constantly has charged/discharged the battery).

Google the instruction to disable fastboot. That could be the cause.

Been using this for around 2 weeks from the last deal. Happy with it so far. I don't do anything that's too intensive so this is a great price point.

I think the description and title both clearly mention an IPS display.

Good features and price, but bad brand and seller. I bought a refurbished Acer gaming laptop from Acer on eBay (same seller as this deal), and the battery died in a few months. I bought another battery which did not work, so I thought the charger may be bad. Eventually, I learned from a refurbisher on YouTube that Acer laptop often burns its power chip, which requires replacing its motherboard. Sorry, no more Acer for me. EEK!
