This is an extremely good deal right now. Reasonably powerful and very efficient CPU. Graphics are nearly as good as the best mainstream Ryzen iGPUs and much more efficient. The screen has great specs for an IPS. RAM of course isn't upgradeable, though.
Edit: Anyone interested in running Linux on this should be aware that there's an issue with the USB-C ports on this and other Acer laptops. Mostly just creates log spam, but for me also prevents mounting a type-c NVME enclosure on a kernel newer than 6.14.
140v igpu is on par with AMD radeon 780m. 780m = Z1 Extreme
last year some of us on SD bought openbox Lenovo yoga variant of this laptop from bestbuy minus the 120hz screen for $350 before tax...

If it meets your needs yes. I PERSONALLY won't buy anything with soldered ram under 32 GBs, but GL finding 32 gigs of ram for under like 800 bucks.

Is it capable of playing games from 5-10 years ago on
high settings?
10 years probably play on ultra lol. 5 years, high for most, medium for some, but very good framerates on those.

Yeah, I was curious because I hadn't looked into the 256V, and you aren't kidding it is crazy good for the wattage.

Buy this now, keep it in box and wait to see if there are better deals on BF.
Costco, no reason to keep it in the box. Just realize it doesn't have the "forever" return policy of other costco products.

Neither is this 2025, nor is Lenovo Yoga a "variant" of this laptop, nor is this open box.
