One small computer is tied into my piano for online piano lesson. The other a nice but small chrome computer than I never use. I dislike chrome. I missed my 15 inch computer that bit the dust years ago and I suddenly decided to get the cheapest brand name computer. At 200 dollars and a bit of change I found the Acer computer. Being a computer nerd I saw that it had what I needed and should be fast enough. It is hard reading reviews today half will say it is perfect and the other half will say it is junk. I am bet this Acer computer by looking at the specs it will be perfect for my needs. Its a well known brand large computer at a very small price. Getting started was a easy, the diplay was bright and nice to read and the setup was easy and fast. It ask a bunch of questions and I said no to most of them.
The sound is terrible but with a bluetooth speakers or headphones it is perfect. If you are reviewing this computer giving a review as if you were receiveing a 500 dollar computer really dose not help anyone. This is a great computer for its price range and it seems to have what I need. Keeping Windows in the S mode is a no brainer for this laptop. You will have to suffer minor convenices of using a Microsoft Browsers and using only the software from the Microsoft Store. Not a big deal. If you need to run other software, break down and buy a bigger computer. However with the types of bad stuff out there this is a safer method and you do not the bloated stuff that takes away huge amounts of memory with installing Windows. Remember you can not go back to mode s easily if you change your mind. Great inexpensive laptop. 8 E-cores seems to multitask fine. I was able to install and run some Virtual Machines with no issue or slowdown. The laptop is capable of playing some older Steam games. I only tested Half-Life so far and it runs smooth. The specs are great for the price. The only minor issue I had was setting up Windows 11 only to install Ubuntu 24.04 over it. The hotkey for choosing a boot device is disabled in the BIOS by default. I bought this laptop for writing and taking online classes primarily, and it's just perfect. Keyboard is nice to use. Screen is bright and crisp. Laptop is lightweight. This is NOT a laptop for gaming, video editing, demanding graphics work, and you're probably going to get frustrated if you are a busy, multi-tasker with multiple software and dozens of browser tabs open at the same time.
That being said, for basic computing needs (word processing, watching Netflix, web browsing, blogging, writing a novel, taking classes, etc), this laptop is near perfect and budget-friendly.
Couple Notes: The processor is 1.1 ghz, not 2.8 as listed in description, but really, you wouldn't be doing anything on this that should ever require that much processor speed. Memory is upgradeable, which is nice, but I've found that 4gb is fine for what I'm using it for right now. Laptop looks stylish, but lacks that "high-end" feel - but it's a $200 laptop. Still, I like it and keyboard feels good for typing at length. Screen is sharp. Colors are decent. Not the best screen out there, of course, but certainly not bad at all. Not a touch screen...slight bummer but not a big deal to me. Sound coming from speakers is nice and loud. No, not premium sound, but sufficient to watch movies/video classes and hear it just fine. I'm happy with it, but no audiophile.
Use headphones or a Bluetooth speaker if you want better sound. Performance has been fast and I've been satisfied. Easy to switch from Windows S to full Windows Home, which is my preference and why I opted for this over a Chromebook. 81gb of available storage space after OS and apps take up a bit of the 128 gb drive. To me, that's totally fine since I'm not saving anything on this - it all goes in the cloud.
I don't think the battery will actually last 9 hours with normal settings, but I get a solid 5 or so hours out of it between charges. RE: Slowness/Lagginess: A couple negative reviews mentioned this and when it happened to me, I thought that maybe there WAS something off about this computer. Turns out when I logged into my Microsoft account, it started syncing my existing desktop computer with this laptop, and with only 4gb of memory and slower processor, it just bogged it right down for about 20 minutes or so as it synced apps, desktop icons, etc.... Once everything synced up, it was fine and has been ever since.
So if you experience slow, laggy performance when you first get this, and you've logged into your Microsoft account, set it down and let it sync for 20 minutes or so, or better yet, adjust the sync settings to be more selective. All in all, it's a great, inexpensive laptop that is super lightweight, super portable, looks nice, performs great, and is perfect for basic computing, an older child/teen, college courses, etc.
