Ok, out of all computers I have had. This is definitely a hell of an upgrade, First off, my wifi was crappy on my old computer, But when I use it on the computer, it's instant fast, very fast, Even without a wifi or internet connection, it was instant. The laptop itself is very light weight, probably even weights less then 3pounds, the most I can say it's about 2 an a half pounds maybe even, 2 pounds and a quarter of a pound. The design is beautiful, I love how the keyboard glows, it helps me so much at night. And I'm sure others who have gotten this has had this help them many of times. Honestly. It runs games smoothly, with no lag, it makes life a lot better, The harddrive is even better,the lifespan last up to around 7 hours 7-half hours. Not a full 8 hours but it gets you threw all day it your traveling or taking it out. Then it will last all day. The camera isn't GREAT, I didn't really need the camera tho anyway, I only needed the pc for gaming and school(If you wanna facechat tho that wouldn't be bad the camera quality isnt horrible, just not enough for video making.) It had the exact amount of storage and it had 8gb of ram as it said, It also added another 100gb because of dropbox, so in total I got 300gbs or so, which made me damn happy.I have heard the ups and downs with acer with, this kind of stuff. But I had no problems with this laptop what so ever, I reccomend it to other's highly.I would also like to put, I am a gamer, and I have part time school as well, if you want a good gaming Laptop or school laptop. 5 stars. Great quality.

I have an older Acer Chromebook and an Acer Aspire that is maybe four years old with a 6th gen i5 AND a dedicated Nvidia on board. Have been happy with both. This 10th gen is a fantastic machine. It blows my i5 out of the water. Ordered it for my mother as her Dell lappy has been dying a slow death for a few years and finally kicked it. I have no idea what Wifi 6 means, but this has lightning fast downloads vs any laptop I've used before. The processor is also surprising. She only uses it for casual games so I can't speak of how it works for modern gaming. It's well under 6 bills. That should tell you that this isn't in that class. As a former home builder of computers, I have been very impressed with the snappyness and the nice build quality. The cover to the top of the case is metal and has a gleeming aluminum Acer logo on it. Gives the impression of a much more expensive machine. If you need a bunch of power to run modern games or edit video, move along. If you need a quick daily driver laptop, this thing will be hard to beat. After reading reviews on the new 11th gen model Acer, I stuck with this older, more reliable 10th. Am very happy with it - as is my Mother.

Update: After much grumbling, I got Acer to pay for me to ship my laptop back for a second inspection within the manufacturer warranty, and it turned out that I had a faulty motherboard. They replaced the motherboard (free of charge under the warranty) and sent the laptop back, and it has been working without issue for the past year+, so I updated my review from the original 1 star to 4 stars.Original review: I bought the version with the i5 processor in January 2021 because I needed a laptop I had admin rights to for downloading apps for school (namely BlueJeans and R), and all I had at that point was a Chromebook and my work desktop PC. I did remove some pre-installed apps and shortcuts that I considered to be bloatware or otherwise unnecessary, like social media apps and games, but I didn't touch anything related to the OS. In less than a month, I started having two major issues: either the screen would freeze up and never regain responsiveness, or I'd get a blue screen of death with instructions to contact support. My application usage when these issues happened would be something like "Gmail open in Chrome, small Word document open to take notes in class" or "Gmail and Reddit open in Chrome"; that is to say, nothing particularly resource-intensive. I already sent the laptop into Acer once, and they said they updated the BIOS. That seems to have fixed the blue screen of death issue, but I still have the screen freeze issue daily, and my only option is to hard reboot it by holding down the power button, which is a big ol' issue when it freezes up while I'm in the middle of, say, an online exam or virtual class meeting. I've updated the OS to Windows 11. I've performed a factory reset. I've monitored the task manager for strange activity, and though I noticed that Chrome uses A LOT of memory, the experience isn't any better with Edge, and in the end, if a laptop can't handle a couple of internet browser tabs, what good is it? I'm about to ship this hunk of junk back to Acer for a second time, and I wish them good luck and godspeed in fixing what ails it. If it's still freezing when I get it back, I'll be filing a warranty claim with AMEX.

I bought this laptop in March 2021 and I still love it. Let's be clear - I USE this thing - I've edited video with Adobe After Effects, done heavy Photoshop work, you name it - I have never had a problem with speed or quality at all. I was worried a little at first because some said Acer is a 'budget' brand - but, hey - Acer made a believer out of me. If I ever DO need a new computer - I'm just going to get the latest version of this laptop. :)
