It is a great budget laptop. Intel 11th gen i5, iris Xe graphics, 8gb ddr4 ram, 512gb nvme all make for a fast and capable pc for most daily works. The materials do not feel cheap at all which is quite something for this price point. The sound is ok, but could have been better. It is easy to upgrade storage, ram yourself. One ram slot upgradable easily. Display is fine for this price. Ksin · acer.com

I have done quite alot of research and other window brands to change my new laptop. This laptop is my 1st choice even 2nd choice is still ASUS Zenbook 14 Oled intel core ultra 9 285H. As a undergraduate student who do quite alot of programming and gaming, this is the most suitable for me because of it’s performance and size. It is so light weight and more over minimalist design and high quality ma Lina_33 · asus.com
