I use this laptop primarily for working from home several days a week (which includes lots of Zoom calls) and light internet surfing, paying bills, etc. so I don't need a super charged computer.
I just need something that won't freeze on me, has good wifi capabilities and has several hours of battery life. For that reason, Ive found Acer laptops fit the bill for me. I've owned Acer laptops going back to about 2016 and like the brand because they're not super expensive but they do perform well enough. I've owned this particular Acer since 2022 and it is a workhorse. The processor is the key and the one I have is Ryzen 3 which is totally reliable and adequate for my use. I like the back-lit keys, the Webcam is good (not astounding) and the graphics are pretty decent. I didn't like Windows in S mode and quickly found out how to shut that off. The battery is ok and typically lasts about 4 hours during a normal workday with Zoom calls and earbuds connected via Bluetooth. I'm always hesitant to spend a fortune on a laptop because I'm not a gamer or heavy user. Also why would I buy a $1,500 laptop when the technology will be obsolete in 3 years? For me, Acer is a good brand at a good price.
