It's metal, very light for its size, has a fantastic display, great keyboard (the num pad is a bit small, but I'm writing about the typing experience) and trackpad, adequate and very fast RAM (reports as 8533 MT/s), a Lunar Lake Ultra 7 that gives it incredible battery life for a Windows machine, ARC 140V integrated graphics that are easily powerful enough for typical photo and some video editing, and powerful enough to play the games I like to play at well over 60fps (eg. Insurgency: Sandstorm, Dirt Rally/Rally 2 and similar)...there is really very little not to like about this laptop.
A few things to note:
The AI light up logo on the trackpad is off by default, so for those complaining about it, you never have to actually see it light up if you don't want to.
It's got an extra slot for another SSD, which is always nice.
Acer does have a reputation for their not great speakers. They aren't redeeming themselves here, but you can tweak settings to have them sound MUCH better than they do out of the box.
Acer takes a lot of crap from online computer communities as a budget brand, but the truth is, they build very good laptops for their pricepoints. I have access to dozens of laptops (for reasons that don't matter), and the Acers I use are definitely not worse than others, and in fact, are much better than some other manufacturers I could name but will not.
