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

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

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)

Yes USB-C charging available. GOT THIS during Black Friday Deal. Great for the Price, only issue is with Sleep where it runs out of charge need to play with Windows settings. Like the laptop for the price, pretty snappy for everyday use and as a PLEX server..

Quote from d4deal :
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!
This also happened to me as well and it was a something I bought new, lasted a year and then no matter what I tried, without it being plugged in, it died. Put a sour taste in my mouth for acer. Wanted to love them. Maybe things have changed though?

This processor is an old Zen 2 with a much weaker igpu…

Can't even get out of its own way, gaming wise.

It's dual channel
So if it's dual channel then a second DDR stick can be added to 32GB?

Anyone have experience using this to run a DAW? I'm not a pro by any means, looking to see how it handles a few guitar and drum plugins.

Thought I read somewhere that it was already configured as dual channel with the 16gb onboard. I heard there are no ram slots and the 16gb chips are soldered directly to the main board.

Has anyone tried using the 2.1 HDMI port to a 4K TV? Or at least verify it is in fact a 2.1 HDMI port.

What was the highest refresh rate you could get? I'm wondering if this can handle 4K @ 60 Hz? Or higher? For video playback, not gaming.

Ryzen 5 5500U has 6 cores and is faster than 4 core Ryzen 5 7520. Ryzen 5 5500U graphics is also faster. Both are Zen 2 architecture.
