Been using it for 30 days, came in like new condition with 100% battery health, under 2 full charges. Very hassle free experience like buying a trouble free fast honda with very high mpg.

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 .

Just got the 32GB version in the mail. The model number shown on the sticker on the back says: A14-52MT-701K. This indeed has Ultra 7 258V, not Ultra 5.

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.

Just received mine, ordered the 32GB version. Received A14-52MT-701K, in bubble wrap only, with charger. Comestically, 99%, could see remains of the screen being cleaned. Cycle count 1.
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.
Likely returning Frown.

So buy OLED...this is not a high-end Acer model, so backlight bleed isn't priority.

My 32gb came in today. It's the 258v. Just one battery cycle. It seems completely brand new to me, other than the Acer Recertified sticker. Happy with the purchase so far.

Does your laptop comes with a "default" local user with admin privilege and anyone can login with no password?

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

How is the battery cycle count seen? Is this something in the BIOS settings? And did anyone's laptop come with the Acer Care Center app? I recall that app showed some battery health info, but the laptop I got didn't come with this app installed.

That isn't normal. Would recommend a factory reset.

Open PowerShell, run this command powercfg /batteryreport /output "C:\battery-report.html", then open the file it created. My laptop came with many Acer programs pre-installed, but I uninstalled them all immediately, so I'm not sure if that one was among them.

However I see "Acer Re-certified" sticker on the back.

Thanks, I've used that app to mess with performance settings but I'll double check to check the battery!

Glad I am not alone. I am also leaning toward just deleting the "default" account. I don't know if it is a glitch or a flaw in Acer's reprovision process.

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