Great value for money that could be improved

This is my 3rd Acer laptop (the other 2 are still working) and after 2 weeks it was stable. Works well and with WiFi 6 I get excellent speeds on a 5GHz network. Battery life has been good so far. I will say that the keyboard is thinner and the number pad and function keys are smaller compared to my Aspire E laptop, but there is nice tactile feedback on the keys and the backlight is nice. It was difficult to get the correct configuration information. Like some other reviews, my laptop came with an 18GB memory card, not a 4+4 configuration. So this laptop has a max RAM of only 16GB and you can only use Kingston memory (according to Acer and my own testing ). So it was a bit of a shame. I was able to add a second SDD (I used WD Blue at the cost of the price), which is always a nice feature on Acer laptops. It was more difficult than my Aspire E laptops, but still doable. The trick is to remove the screw holding the Intel chip so you can fully install the socket.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Faulty
