Acer and ebay. Couldn't get much worse. The pc will be a POS, acer won't help, neither will ebay. Good luck with that.
And that is why we have PAYPAL

Quote from SeriousPiranha5195 :
That laptop is showing in stock for me right now
On mobile in my eBay app it says out of stock across the top while the buttons on the listing say add to cart or buy it now - but you can't do either of those because it will say out of stock.

No mention in the listing of it having a backlit keyboard but I google the MPN number from the listing against the Acer site and it does have it. At $300 I would have bitten just to try it.

Ordered. My credit card has been charged. But no note from Acer about order received, or when it will ship.

Just yesterday I picked up the Ultra 5 226V, 16GB ram version of this from Costco for $500. Comparison sites seem to suggest this one does not perform much differently, but now I've got a little buyer's remorse. What do y'all think? New Ultra 5, 16GB vs Refurb Ultra 7, 32 GB.
you overpaid by a ton. the 16gb 226v is worth $300-350. 32gb 256v is $450.

I could not live with a display that poor. Kudos to those who can.
the acer is is very acceptable for the price($300-400), B-. compared against m1 max being A+. its more VA like panel with deep blacks and uniform lightbleed. much better than acer go swift IPS.
acer sells the QHD OLED for $300-800 with older CPU and half the battery life. asus OLED FHD has sharpness issues, but the QHD OLED is better.

im guessing some people got the acer C- IPS panel with two low bid LCD vendor. I saw the acer aspire at Costco, its god awful dirty.
thats why half the buyers are ok with acer aspire LCD

After tax it was $499, $40 less after the partial refund for the CPU mix up. It was from the below deal, second option. The "Intel Ultra 5 226V, 32GB", which couldn't have been correct since the ram was 32GB. It was either a U7 or U9 (assuming the RAM wasn't the part that was wrong)

https://slickdeals.net/f/19098601-acer-aspire-14-ai-cert-refurb-14-fhd-ips-touch-intel-ultra-5-226v-16gb-lpddr5-1tb-ssd-355-99

The laptop is fantastic. Only thing is the screen isn't great but honestly I'd rather a mid screen and a great machine vs a mid machine with a great screen. The lack of an SD slot is annoying too since I am always messing with retro handhelds, loading roms, etc, but I always have a hub with me so it isn't an end of the world type thing.
OOoo, I bit on the same deal and received the same machine. Should I seek a $40 refund?

I would if I were you. Just keep pressing them if they send you AI nonsense replies that do not make sense in context. They need to learn to properly describe their listings or deal with the pushback.

Have you researched this chip at all? Lunar Lake are 8 cores (4p + 4e), and while they are very efficient, they're actually not an upgrade in raw power over previous generations. But the built-in GPU is pretty strong on its own: I clocked one of these 258v laptops at 4,400 in Time Spy. That's close to RTX 3050 mobile performance.

Guess I'm going to be able to provide my own input on the screen in a week or so. Placed the order in the morning, cancelled it later in the day (or requested cancellation, I should say), and they didn't respond until the next morning - saying they could no longer cancel it because they just shipped it. Made me chuckle while being a little annoyed.
