Acer consistently seems to make great everyday laptops which last for a fair amount of time. Ordering this 2019 released laptop in 2022 can be seen as an interesting move, but I was pleasantly surprised and how functional it is for the price. At $499 (at the time of this post), you're looking at a midrange specs simple pc that handles Windows 11 very quickly.Set up was a breeze with the OS walking me through each step. I appreciated the free trials included. I then jumped over to a browser interested to see Firefox installed by default. Browsing the web was seamless. Apps opened very quickly and puttering around the computer was efficient. At 93 battery, I was able to see there was 6 hours of usage left. Not bad for a portable device.Any reason to pass on this laptop?I couldn't find any. It has plenty of ports, a great size screen, extra keyboard keys for data entry. It boots up quick and leaves out features that more expensive devices have and I'm totally cool with it. I do wish the hinge was a little more loose for opening but I'm sure that will happen with age.Overall, this is a speedy little machine that I think will last for quite some time.
