Why? Is it a particularly poor quality view for an IPS, or do you mean not bright enough? Most lower-end laptops have 250 nits. I think for this price, FHD, anti-glare, IPS, touch screen is pretty good specs, as long as you are indoors with no backlighting on the screen.

As already stated, a non-backlit keyboard is a problem, based on my needs. I'd rather have a non-touch screen with a backlit keyboard. But every laptop deal has some compromise(s).

Thumbs up and reps OP.
Good CPU, plenty of RAM, and storage without upgrading.

You'll notice that the CPU is particularly bad. $300 laptops six years ago had stronger CPUs.

... and the integrated graphics, IF you care about gaming.
"It integrates four older Zen 2 cores (similar to the Ryzen 4000 series like the Ryzen 3 4300U)." - https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD...934.0.html

Some reviews I am seeing mention a really flimsy charging port connection. Saw a different Acer today and can confirm seems like it can wiggle bad but not sure if same on these.
