As someone who purchased a lot of these for my business, this model had over 20% failure rate in less than a year. Mostly because of low heat solder that they used, but also a lot of other odd failures happened. Way more than any Dell laptops I had in the past. I guess getting it refurbished might be better because hopefully they fixed that problem and replaced the main system board. Still... I don't think I'd want to purchase this any time soon.

I can tell you've never purchased an Acer laptop before. Prepare to be sending it back for repairs they missed because they don't have a QA/QC process. The bearings in the fans they use will break after a year or two also.

Preferring something to be new doesn't limit you from buying used.

You're comparing a business laptop, that is more rugged, with a general purpose consumer level laptop.

larger SSD is good for the common consumer
but yes, I prefer the 2 year warranty all state and Lenovo over the 1 year Acer
