Am I missing something about this deal? I know the build quality isn't great, but 32gb, 1tb, arc 140v, 100% srgb, 120hz, touch, 3.4 lbs all seems pretty hard to beat for $700 these days.

Community Reviews

This refurbished Aspire 16 AI stands out as a light 16 inch laptop with strong specs for the money, especially 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, Intel Arc 140V graphics, and a 120Hz touch display. The screen is described as bright, crisp, semi matte, and smooth thanks to VRR down to 30Hz, while the 65W charger keeps the carry load simple. It also looks capable for everyday gaming and some local AI or machine learning work. The main knocks are build quality, possible cooling and fan noise concerns, and a wireless card failure on arrival in one case. The price feels less compelling than earlier refurb pricing, though warranty coverage and coupon discounts help soften it.

Common Questions (5)

  • It can handle modest gaming and some local AI/ML use, but it is not a powerhouse. The Ultra 7 258V sibling is reported to run most modern-ish AAA games at modest settings and Switch emulation in docked mode, and 32GB is enough for quite a lot of local AI/ML work; heavier workloads still need much more expensive systems.

    WooHoo2YouwhatgooddealDirtCheapDad

  • No. The panel is described as 1920x1200 in a 16:10 aspect ratio, which is closer to the 1080p class than true 2K/1440p. It is also reported to be bright, crisp, touch responsive, and to support VRR down to 30Hz.

    SRFNYCSRFNYCDirtCheapDad

  • Yes. The eBay listing is described as coming with a two-year warranty, and the charger is a 65W unit. That makes the refurb less risky than a typical no-warranty used laptop purchase.

    mm60SRFNYC

  • Yes. The listing is described as including a simple 65W charger, and any compatible 65W charger should work as a replacement. That keeps the power setup light compared with laptops that need a heavier brick.

    SRFNYCSRFNYC

  • Yes. Paying with Klarna reportedly takes another $50 off the price, which can make the refurb more compelling if you are already planning to use that payment method.

Does it have a good screen for reading? How eBay/Acer return policy works after I turn it on and sign in? What is this laptop missing except a fingerprint reader? Constructive suggestions are appreciated.

I bought one for my daughter starting college, knowing that 32gb is needed for on-system AI tools. This is a max 6 month old model, so I'm expecting the battery to be great still. I would be all over the similar Swift Go deal with OLED that is about $650 if it just had 32gb of ram. Would gladly have paid $750-ish for a refurb on that over this, with the better build quality of the Swift line, but we'll see. Some of the Aspire products seem to have poor cooling/noisy fans, others are excellent. 30 day return policy should be non issue with eBay backing it.

you can't run much "AI" on 32gb.
