I just ordered the Ultra 7 version for $502 (it dropped $30). The performance difference between the Ultra 7 and 9 is supposed to be relatively minor, and from reviews the Ultra 7 is considerably more efficient, cooler running, with better battery life. The Ultra 7 goes in and out of stock, just have to monitor the ebay listing if interested for availability.

I don't think I've ever bought a new laptop. Can't speak to this specific laptop, but claiming used laptops are crap is a pretty stupid take.

Community Reviews

This Acer Aspire 14 AI stands out as a strong spec-for-price refurb, with the Core Ultra 9, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and integrated graphics that handle everyday work, gaming, and even Switch emulation well. The unit is manufacturer refurbished by Acer on eBay, with free 30 day returns and a 2 year AllState warranty, and the listing sometimes shows a $50 coupon that drops it near $601. The main drawback is the display, which is described as a 1200p 60Hz IPS panel with about 61% sRGB and 327 nits, so color and brightness are weak. Stock also appears to come and go quickly, so timing matters.

  • The laptop can deliver strong real-world performance for gaming and emulation without a dedicated GPU.

    WooHoo2You

  • The eBay offer includes manufacturer refurbishment by Acer and comes with free 30-day returns plus a 2-year AllState warranty.

    BCKit

  • The integrated GPU performance can feel comparable to a desktop GTX 1060 level for supported workloads.

    StrongCaption298

  • Refurbished units can arrive looking brand new and can run without issues for family use cases.

    imauser

  • The display can have low color coverage and limited brightness, which can make it look poor for screen-sensitive use.

    RevPizzaguyRevPizzaguy

  • The refurbished unit may still show repeat problems like blue screens or Windows 11 update failures during setup.

    Corndog75

  • The listing can be hard to catch because it may be out of stock most of the time with brief availability windows.

    imauser

  • Refurbishment may not fully fix the original return issues, leaving random troubleshooting problems for the next buyer.

That said, looks like you are getting 61% sRGB and 45% RGB and DCI-P3 with a max of 327 nits brightness, so it's going to look pretty crappy.

Excellent catch... wow what a steal at that price even with the subpar screen... I spent 890 on a vivobook flip 16 with a oled 2.8k touchscreen it was new though but still at this price rather have this model.

I bought the refurbished Ultra 7 version for my daughter back in April - no issues, looked brand new. My brother bought the same version last week - no issues. I probably just jinxed myself, but mine is coming in a couple of days. It will be folded up underneath a desk, driving 2-3 2k monitors 99% of the time so the screen isn't much of a concern to me. I may use it for software development/consulting as well.

This is sold by Acer on eBay. It is manufacturer refurbished and it comes with free 30 day return and a 2 year AllState warranty.

Carefully inspect the machine for defects and give the CPU and RAM a stress test, but you should do that with new machines anyway.

I bought an Acer Nitro gaming laptop from Acer via eBay, and it came well packaged and was in like new condition with only a handful of battery cycles.

I care mostly about the screen when I purchase any laptop.
How is the screen in this one?

It is out of stock now. I feel terrible about missing it. Is there any chance that the Ultra 7 deal might come back again? Thanks.

Decent nothing special but if you don't mind carrying around a portable screen for serious work... the specs on this thing are amazing for the price. The igpu on this is basically like a desktop 1060 level with a lot more vram and access to ai upscaling and frame gen.
