Your WiFi router needs to support WiFi 7, if you are leasing your WiFi router through your ISP see if they will upgrade the router to support WiFi 7, otherwise you can purchase your own WiFi 7 Router, you can have multiple WiFi routers setup to run thorough your ISP, I do it to segregate WiFi cameras vs computer and guest WiFi accesses

I see an offer to sign up for a best buy card and get 20% back in rewards on purchases made the first day of having the card on the checkout payment selection page. That would effectively bring the price down to $2,070ish after taxes for me. The offer ends after today, so this deal came at a great time. With the cash back, the price is only a little more than the refurbished deal on ebay that keeps going in and out of stock. (of course, you could use a new credit card sign up bonus with the ebay deal and sweeten that further)

I picked this up a few weeks ago when it was at this price. It's an amazing laptop. Super bright, vibrant screen.

What are your thoughts on the fan noise and temperature with the laptop? I keep going back and forth on this one.

I mean, if you throw it into "Turbo" mode the fan noise gets pretty loud. I assume if you have a decent pair of headphones, you won't notice it much. I was using a Legion Slim 5i with the OLED screen and while it was also very nice, my aging eyes couldn't handle the 14" screen. The 18" screen on the Acer is amazing and the 1000 nits HDR brightness is tough to beat, IMO.
