A few notes: it took 6 days for them to ship it out, but then shipping was pretty fast via FedEx Ground and very well-packaged and the PC was in excellent condition and looked brand-new. Doesn't come with anything at all but the brain, don't remember if it had the power cable. I think it did.
I'm very happy with it and it runs like a dream. If those specs look good to you and that's within your budget (everyone I've talked to seems to say it's a good deal in this crazy market), I'd jump on it. It was a godsend with my old gaming/editing rig having been well over a decade old and me being unable to build my own due to illness and injuries making sensitive and delicate procedures with my hands difficult.

This was tempting but based on these comments and my research, there was truly a 14th gen Intel degradation issue, and combined with this being a [recurring] refurb, that is more of a red flag.
The root cause was Intel shipping these chips with default voltage/power settings that were too aggressive. Under sustained load, the chips were running at voltages that caused electromigration damage to the processor over time — essentially the chip physically degrades at the silicon level. Intel acknowledged this and issued a microcode patch (August 2024) that corrects the voltage settings going forward. The patch prevents further degradation but cannot repair damage already done. And you have no idea if the PC you get is using an non-updated chip. Sometimes the issue happens in year 3, so beyond the Allstate Warranty period.
One could buy this now and see if a better deal comes up Labor Day, since this is 30 day returns and seller pays, although a commenter on the other thread said Acer was being a pain to get a refund on a defective machine and eBay had to intervene.
At this amount of money, I don't want a possible hw failure and having to replace a chip.
