Ok this isn't as good as the last time this deal came up ($560 ish), but times have changed, and this is still a very solid laptop. The laptop market isn't getting better, so if you can get laptop with a Ryzen 5 240, 16GB of DDR5, and a 5050 with 8GB of dedicated video memory for $604.49 you are doing ok.
Better yet since this is official Acer through ebay you will get a 2 year warranty.
note: Charging issues: If you game on performance, it will drain the battery. If you game on balanced I believe this is mostly mitigated. The power brick is not powerful enough to power it in performance mode, and a larger brick doesn't mitigate the issue according to forums.
note 2: The screen is 400 nits I think. So not bottom of the barrel, but definitely nothing to brag about.
Once again this is not the best deal, but maybe the best you will get for a while.

The display is ok. Not good not bad, it's ok for the price.
Gaming and charging, yes the laptop will consume battery faster then it can charge. I was playing an Unreal Engine game for like an hour or so and it went from 100% to 91% while also charging. I could see this being an issue if you wanted to game for long stretches of time.
