Seems like a great deal with good specs in today's market. I wish it had 32 GB RAM even if it were an additional $100-200 but with the RAMppcalypse probably not feasible.

16GB on Windows just doesn't cut it anymore.

My catchphrase of 2026 laptop browsing is basically, "If only that had 32gb..."

Soldered 16gb ram on a $1000 laptop is less of a problem than when it was at $1550 but still pretty bad. Maybe below 700-800 it becomes more forgivable. Very nice intel cpu for the price though.

I know theyre completely different use cases and machines/forms but how does this compare to the xbox ally x for gaming? I sort of want to game but I also have the necessity of a laptop. It would be easier for me to carry a controller than it would be to carry a dock/monitor etc if I needed to use it as a laptop randomly someday

It's the CPU and 3K 120Hz OLED that keeps this from being anywhere close to $800. Acer isn't my favorite brand but this is a heck of a deal for the OLED display and the Arc B390 GPU.

The addition of a haptic touchpad at this price is unheard of, BUT...that off-center weird keyboard/touchpad layout looks unusable. Who thought that tiny num pad was a good idea?

Even 24gb of ram would have made this laptop a no-brainer at $1k. At 16gb, the GPU would want half of that, so there would be bottlenecks.

I bought a Chromebook and will be using it until the computer market gets cured from this schizophrenia.

In light of the current RAMpocalyse, I think this is a great deal for current a generation X7 laptop.
