My wife is still using her ryzen 5 3500u laptop (with 16gb ram) which is maybe 20% slower. It performs fine in everyday tasks.

That really just leaves BIOS and any device-specific firmware (e.g. Thunderbolt controller) to the OEM.
The most annoying thing on any cheap laptop has always been the trackpad/touchpad, and this one's doesn't suck too bad, compared to a Dell Precision Workstation with Intel 7th gen proc I have, Acer's trackpad is relatively WAY better

good build
touchscreen works great
usb c supports BOTH display alt and PD charging, i was able to connect to a hub with 2 extra monitors, running 3 screens at the same time
screen is actually pretty bright 350nits ish
touchpad is good, key has good reach
the only issue is the cpu... definately felt like 10th gen / ryzen 4k series which is a good 30% slower than current gen and is slower than my yoga ryzen 5700u
return process is fast and easy though. for everyday tasks its fine.
condition looks like new
Purchased a second laptop on Jan 19, started to setup for use (about 1 hour total use), got some system updates and after doing this the system turned off. It would never power back up. Tried multiple times holding down the power button for a hard reset, but no response. Sent this back for RMA (free return shipping label) on Jan 22, they received it Jan 25, have to wait until Jan 29 for a refund. They don't do any exchanges. I'm not sure if I want to buy another one or not.

Install Linux when windows gets bogged down
If they kept those things away from bring like apple they would at least differentiate but they copy so people may as well get apple.
Reason to get pc or laptop vs macbook is upgradablility dumbasses thinking copying apple will help them sell more at higher prices. Nope you made your product instantly worth 50% less doing that.
Like Removable batteries. On phones. 3.5 headphone jack, SD slot.
Android locking out SD cards from main system doesn't help.
Etc.
What would have increased the desirability made it undesirable.
