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 .

Does it have backlit keys?
Two year warranty is great! I don't have experience with computer warranty with Allstate. Are they reliable?
They kept asking for different photos from different angles, close ups, zoomed out photos of the entire TV with "something in the background." Every day it was a different photo request. I was half expecting them to ask for feet picks
It seemed like they didn't believe the original photos were mine so they wanted more pictures so they could verify one vs the other.
That being said, after 3-4 business days of back and forth, mainly just new photos....which was a pain because I was out of town for some of that time (so admittedly used a screenshot from a youtube review for one of my photos!). They ended up giving me the choice of 3 different TV's to replace my current one. 1 was the same exact model, another was a different brand (and different smart TV OS) but roughly the same value, and the 3rd was actually far better TV and several model years newer. Once I chose the last option, some dude in a crappy pickup truck delivered the new TV 48 hours later and it ended up fulfilled by the Walmart 15 minutes down the road from me. Crappy pickup dude must have just been Walmart's delivery contractor for bulky items.
Good question and I wonder that too. Intel's 226v model doesn't come with 32gb of ram, only 16gb, and not the Intel 140v iGPU, so something is wrong in the listing.
Looking at https://www.acer.com/us-en/laptop...4-ai-intel the only models with 32GB of ram are the Ultra 9 and 7, the 7 is the A14-52MT-701K (NX.JDJAA.003), which appears to be the below (I think it being the Ultra 9 is just wishful thinking). I'm going to order that one and see what happens. Best case I am surprised when it is a Ultra 7, worst case I return it being they list free returns.

FWIW, this listing ($539.99 with coupon code) posted recently by Dr. W looks solid as well, it is a Ultra 7, 2-in-1, only 16GB of RAM, OLED though
https://www.ebay.com/itm/389430912755
FWIW, I'd probably rather the Ultra 7 16GB vs the 5 with 32GB. I was really hoping this unit was actually a U7 with 32GB, especially considering they mentioned Arc 140V.

I would be cautious to buy from Newegg over ebay. You may want to consider this Gen 1 Ultra 7: https://www.ebay.com/itm/276709583737

FWIW, I really want this listing (or there is another flavor in 32GB) BUT the coupon doesn't apply. https://www.ebay.com/itm/267209337671
And why do you mention be cautious about Newegg?
P.S. Lenovo is about as bad with their listings as well. Take a lot of reading between the lines, they'll always have conflicting info, have accessories listing that aren't including, and multiple model numbers mentioned in the same listing but for similar, yet different units.
