Mostly what you wrote is " i need a 16" laptop". 14 isnt tiny, its portable for ppl who want that, 60 hz is fine for non gaming. It is dim though, but at $700 with 300 just in ram idk what else you could cut to get this price point even refurb.

Numpad, 500 nits are must haves for me, but you won't find a numpad in a 14" laptop basically ever.

Add "rear power+HDMI" to your must haves if you haven't had it yet. Such a great improvement.

As an owner of the Acer 258v lunar lake variant, I can tell you its by far the best work laptop I have ever owned. Great battery life, competent at Revit / Autocad, shockingly good at gaming when needed, and the keyboard is goated. As for the screen complaints, its entirely fine for what I need it to do, but I can see people who like the Samsung "glow" of OLED panels feeling disappointed.

Tiny (14") 60Hz (low refresh rate) dim (300 nits) display, at slightly better than "standard" resolution. Once you've had a 16.1" 165Hz 500+ nits 2560x1600 laptop display, it's no fun going back.
Also, no numpad (hard requirement for me also).

I get these are technically budget-build laptops, but I'm still always surprised Acer is able to source these terrible screens, especially considering even their own Chromebooks have vastly superior screens. I got a similar A14 for my parents a few months back and was honestly shocked by how bad the screen is. Definitely serviceable, but still worse than some screens from even 10 years ago.

Acer laptops honestly feel like something you get from AliExpress. Made with lowest possible cost

Anything but Apple feels this way. All the other companies cheap out on a lot of their components. Keyboard flex, bad webcam, buggy drivers, loose hinges, etc.

Even though it doesn't advertise the touchscreen, this is the same model # and reviews mention it has touch screen. It's $70 more but gives you the 2 year allstate warranty - https://www.ebay.com/itm/27757416...-52MT-94H5

I got the same laptop from Target since I have the Target card that gives 5% off. Great deal considering how expensive memory and ssd is right now. Don't expect prices to fall anytime soon, the AI boom is just beginning and memory shortages are expected through 2028.

Since when 60 Hz is a "low refresh rate"??

I have been using Acer laptops for the last 20 years (along with about 90% of other brands in the market) and they have always been the most trouble-free solid reliable workhorses delivering the best value.
