For an entry level price, this is a solid laptop. The display won't blow anybody away (reviews often say, "washed out") but it's a good performing midrange CPU with enough RAM for everyday tasks (16GB) and a better than average iGPU in the Arc 130v. Lunar Lake CPU laptops like this get great battery life, comparing well to those Qualcomm Snapdragon laptops in similar tasks. If you move up to an Ultra 7 CPU with a 140v, it can even outperform the 780m in certain games, trading blows with the RTX 3050 at lower wattage levels.

Arc 130v performs less consistently and generally a bit slower than the 780M, and should probably be compared to a Steam Deck for potential performance. If you're willing to lower the resolution to 720p / 800p, you can probably play most games in low-med. Some older games will actually perform well, but you'll be held back by Intel's drivers and architecture which doesn't do great with DX9 / DX10 games, usually requiring a translation layer to make it playable with a performance penalty. When a game is supported well by the drivers, it can perform similarly to the 780m, but when support is poor... you might as well forget playing that game until Intel releases a fix, if ever. The good news is that Intel has indeed been improving game support over the past couple years, with the Arc GPUs being in a much better place than they were even last year.

I just got the certified one yesterday and it has a 0.5" wide white area on the screen only visible when that area is dark. Otherwise unnoticeable, requested a return in Ebay, let's see how Acer responds. The poor reviews regarding Acer on Ebay is that they are difficult to work with when the product arrives damaged.
The screen really is washed out for watching videos but fine for browsing, office stuff.
Acer sent me the return label within a few business hours so no issues so far. The post office however, refused to take the package saying it's hazardous due to the laptop battery and that this needs an 'H' return label (for hazardous). Came home and read up and realized the lady was full of shit. Will try to ship again and hopefully get another person.

did anyone get shipping confirmation? ordered on 11/18 and still no shipping notice on 11/21. Sent msg to Acer on Ebay and they replied "sorry there is a delay" and didn't provide any ETA, now thinking if I should cancel it and get something else. I did order from Acer Ebay before for Chromebook and always got shipping confirmation the next day so something doesn't sound right this time.

I ordered 11/17 but didn't get tracking info until 11/20 and even then they found the most circuitous route possible to send it - it was at delivery layover 100 miles from my house on Friday to 400 miles away today on Saturday with a possible delivery for Monday.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 Processor 226V is limited to 16GB, so no.

This is an ENTRY LEVEL PC? This thing seems to have insane specs aside from the 45% color gamut. Obviously not a gaming laptop, but it's not trying to be that anyway. Funny how 10 years ago the specs could be a third of these and it would have been considered high-end.

16gb RAM is the real limitation on this machine. Can't really expect more for this price though so it is what it is.
99% of users don't need more. Even 8-12GB is fine for basic use.

the gap between the 780m and steamdeck is pretty big I would say the 130v is much closer to the 780m esp since we are seeing the 140v be compared with and sometimes even being considered better than the 890m although it is hard to get a good idea since no one benchmarks the 130v

Exactly. Pathetic to those downvoted you
The lack of context and throw away "wOrThLeSs" comment was less than useful... thus downvotes.

FWIW Allstate gave me a brand new 75" OLED TV almost no questions asked. #Context

I've been here for 18 years

There hasn't been a single laptop deal where some numbnuts hasn't claimed that it's 'only good for email and browsing'

I just ignore them now
