One of best value for all in one laptops with reliable Intel 6E wifi, good blend of battery life (12hr-22hr), Anti-reflective matte display for work, encodes 4k very fast with Intel Quick Sync, light gaming ( @30-45fps), very travel friendly ( 3lb, no dongles needed, charges with 15w-65w, metal top and bottom plate)
Eco mode gets you 22hr , but slower 450mph speed
Regular mode gets you 12-16 hr , but fast 500mph
Having 10-15 tab of youtube 1440p does choke the 16gb ram. But 20-40 regular chrome tabs is no problem on high mode.
If you want better gaming, wait a year for Panther Lake X9. It has 50% better gaming with 50% more XE cores for over 3 times the price.
I ordered from Acers ebay over 4 times in last 2 yr. Half was flawless order with shipping within 7 days. The other half was sent the wrong 16gb laptop ( ordered 32gb laptop) and dead charger with $50 off (delta chargers have high defect rate). Refund was within 7 days. 10 times better than Dell Refurbished with used batteries .
Community Reviews
The Acer Aspire 14 AI stands out as a lightweight, travel friendly 14 inch laptop with strong battery life, fast Intel Quick Sync encoding, and solid everyday performance for browsing, office work, and light gaming. The matte touchscreen, bright keyboard, and near new refurb condition with low battery cycle counts make it feel close to retail. The main concerns are inconsistent refurb listings and occasional mismatched specs, plus reports of weak speakers, IPS glow, fan noise, and docked sleep issues over USB C or HDMI. A capable all around machine if the received configuration matches the order.
The laptop can arrive in like-new condition with very low battery cycle counts, including reports of 1 to 4 cycles.
The display can be a matte touchscreen with recessed glass that helps reduce glare for work use.
Intel Quick Sync can encode 4K content quickly, which supports fast media workflows.
The system can support up to 8K video playback with strong AV1 decoding for entertainment use.
The listing can be inaccurate about touch capability, with received units reportedly lacking touch even when listings claim it.
Battery condition can vary widely across recertified units, including reports of 54 cycles and distracting IPS backlight glow.
The listing can be inaccurate about RAM and storage, with received units reportedly showing 8GB/512GB instead of 16GB/1TB.
Docking can be unreliable because the laptop may repeatedly go to sleep after a few minutes over USB-C or HDMI.

I really wanted to like this machine, but the IPS glow / backlight glow is distracting, can see it being especially bad if watching a film with black bars. Of course photos exaggerate it, but the worst spot is that bottom slightly-right-center spot.

I am trying to understand if this is normal. If I should factory reset it again.

I don't know if factory reset will lose any drivers, etc.
