"This isn't a terrible deal, but there are some pretty major caveats with this laptop.
First off, the 5700u is essentially a renamed 4000 series processor. It uses the 3 generations old zen 2 architecture without the node shrink nor newer generation (but weaker) igpu of the newer zen 2 7*2* series mobile processors. On the plus side, it has 8 full size hyperthreaded cores (16 threads) and the fairly powerful 8cu rx vega igpu. The vega igpu doesn't support av1 decode, if that matters to you. The 5700u will soundly beat more modern quad core cpus (like the r5 7520u, which uses 4 slightly more efficient and faster node shrunk zen 2 cores and a 2cu rdna2 gpu which is more modern but far weaker) in raw performance, though efficiency is somewhat weaker. Compared to an intel cpu like the i5-1235u, it has substantially worse singlethreaded performance but moderately superior multithreaded performance.
Next, the screen on this laptop is absolutely terrible. It's tn (twisted nematic), 60hz, 220nit, 45% ntsc (~62% srgb). Literally the only redeeming quality is that it isn't below 1080p resolution, this is essentially the lowest tier fhd screen in existence. Viewing angles are non-existent, the screen is extremely dim, and colors are dull and washed out.
This laptop is running it's memory in single channel mode by default since it comes with a single 16gb sodimm. There's a second slot for an additional memory module, so if you want full performance you'll need to add in a second 16gb ddr4 3200 sodimm to run 32gb dual channel. The m.2 slots only support pcie gen 3 drives, which is expected for a zen 2 processor. As a side note, the keyboard is not backlit.
If the outdated processor (with quite strong multithreaded performance at the price point) and absolutely horrendous screen aren't dealbreakers for you, the rest of the specs are decent for $300. Having both 16gb of ram and a 512gb (gen 3) ssd with an additonal slot to upgrade each is better than usual at $300. The upgradability is especially relevant, many laptops in this price tier won't let you upgrade past 16gb (or won't allow dual channel past 16gb even if they have an open memory slot due to having 8gb soldered). It has wifi 6 which is acceptable, and the assortment of ports should grudgingly suffice for the price. The 48wh battery is par for the course at this tier. The aspire 3 chassis is known to be rather cheap feeling and is definitely low budget tier, but it doesn't seem to have substantially more issues than other budget chassis's from what I've read.
Overall, if you're on a super tight budget and need a laptop with strong multithreaded performance, need at least 16gb of ram with the option to upgrade to 32gb, and the screen quality is utterly irrelevant to you, this is an okay deal."
Plus the Acer has 2x RAM slots and 2x SSD slots so you can "Add" RAM and Storage vs Having to "Replace" RAM and storage on this HP to upgrade.

Single channel ram limits the igpu to Intel UHD graphics (slower and weaker).
