It should be fine for that, it's just that the price has remained relatively high for a long time, for something that is basically an N200/N300 competitor. These 6nm Mendocino chips are cheap to make. I want to see it around $150 (open/refurb I guess).

It's quad-core Zen 2 which is old but OK, and 2 CUs of RDNA2 which is slow but OK. It has refreshed decoding capabilities including AV1. Based on Passmark it's about 15-48% faster than the 8650U [cpubenchmark.net].

No price is too low for the 7520U, but the touch screen and 1 TB SSD stand out.

Wasn't this this price 3 years ago? And it was too slow to buy at that price then.

Is it that slow? Looking for a touch screen laptop for the wife to watch Netflix and surf the web with 40+ tabs open at once on multiple chrome browsers. Lol.

I bought her a refurb laptop in 2022 and its having issues on the keyboard and the touchscreen always goes out and she has to reboot it for it to work again.

I just bought a Chromebook [ebay.com]from this seller and received it yesterday. Even though it says refurb, it's practically brand new with 0 cycles on the battery. But it doesn't doesn't have a backlit keyboard.

I also bought this one about a month ago, but also doesn't have a backlit keyboard - https://www.ebay.com/itm/16702575...media=COPY

I bought two of these computers or very similar via Walmart it was directly from Acer refurb (shipped) it can be located at https://www.walmart.com/ip/823325...roupCode=2

I see it is $299 now but these laptops are a steal for 16gb ram with 1 TB storage plus touchscreen.

Just got this new from Costco for $400 to do our taxes. For light and occasional use it fits our needs just fine and I'm not at all worried at the $400 price point. At this price it's a good deal.
just tested and ours does support charging via USB-C (with a laptop capable supply- can't use your puny 20W phone charger).
Build quality is meh as to be expected but it's far snappier than our older machines. Speakers are comically terrible. The compressed number keypad is a litttle annoying but still nice to have. Hopefully it lasts awhile

Bought the deal last year for Acer refurbished A315-24PT-R4U2.

It would randomly max out fan speeds when left on and force shutdown. I've updated bios, (from what I understand it's necessary on all these, due to an error) and reinstalled windows. Just recently submitted a warranty claim and they repasted the CPU. Will see if it helps. Just FYI these might have the same issues.
