Put it this way, you're probably not going to find a laptop at this price point, especially touch screen, till Prime day or Black Friday, and that's IF it goes on sale. If you don't need a number pad or backlit, I'd bite. That USB 3.2 is pretty slick, display port and charging.

In other words, you're getting the future price right now instead of waiting, hoping it goes on sale months from now.

However, the reviews are pretty bad. So it's not all about the specs.
The refurbished version is $263.

This is a nice laptop for a majority of people. Perfect for a student.

Pros:
- Lots of features.
- Touchscreen if you need it.
- 16gb ram
- Newish processor (old processor made with new tech)
- USB-C Charging
- 512gb storage
- Comes with a protective sleeve.

Cons:
- Graphics could have been way better...
- I bought this "refurbished from Acer" on ebay, for $250 like 9 months ago. It came in mint condition.

I haven't found anyone's take on the Costco Dell 15.6 Ryzen 7 deal that starts today for $499 + $15 shipping.

It has 16gb, touch, backlit keyboard, and a 1 tb ssd.

Is it worth the upgrade over this deal?

How does this compare to https://www.costco.com/acer-aspir...33966.html for student use?

I can't figure out if the Aspire 5 has upgradeable memory.

It does seem to be a better deal, but haven't seen any responses.
  • AMD Ryzen 7 7730 (8-core)
  • 15.6" touchscreen
  • 16 GB memory
  • 1 TB SSD
  • Backlit keyboard
  • Windows 11 Home
I don't know the build quality (I haven't bought Dell machines for over 10 years - have stuck to Lenovo. Through work Smilie

Any thoughts, folks (on this one): https://www.costco.com/dell-inspi...21339.html

As I mentioned previously, this is for my Mom (she is over 80). Thus, trying to find something which is reasonable and good enough for her.

TIA

What is she going to be using it for? Having one tab open for email and a second tab open for Facebook can be done on a $200 Chromebook. Mom's a secret gamer that plays Overwatch with the grandkids as a member of the PC master race would require a gaming laptop.

Also, how's her eyesight and how much does she require portability? I have some elderly relatives that use larger desktop monitors and still zoom the screen to 200%.

It says it right in the title on the eBay page but then down below in the specs listing it claims no touchscreen. Confusing, but it's the exact same model of this Costco one and if I had to put money on it, it does come with a touchscreen.

Incorrect, the official Acer site for this specific refurbished model (A315-24PT-R4U2) mentions it has a touchscreen:

I'm guessing one of the photos is incorrect because it shows a model without the number pad.

Mostly,web browsing, emails, and Word & Excel. (Yes, she gives lectures on non-profit world and hence uses Word a lot. And sometimes Excel).
I don't think she cares about the portability. But readability *IS* important. That's why initially I was thinking of the 17" one.
Thanks.

I can't figure out if the Aspire 5 has upgradeable memory.

I can't figure out if you can add memory either. It does have a better processor, but you will get a shorter runtime on the battery. Even if you can add memory you will be limited to 16 plus 4 or 20 based on old information on the previous aspire 5. Acer has also limited the use of that full processor.

Reviews at Best buy say no memory upgrade from the 8 GB.
