I wasn’t sure about Lenovo for my last laptop, but for the hardware/specs at the time, I got it for a good price. That Lenovo laptop has been so solid for me that it’s been my primary computer for 10 years (i.e. always used, always on), and is still “my primary” for now, and what I’m currently writing this review on. But it has been showing it’s “tech age” lately. So it’s (sadly) time to upgrade.
Acer, to me, has always seemed like the “Wally special”; Cheap construction and lower spec hardware. And, in fairness, Acer has and does cater to the budget (sub-$300) laptop market. I looked around…and saw that this laptop has great specs for the price range that I intended to pay for a laptop (sub-500). It appears that Acer has better-spec'd/mid-market products as well. So I went to the computer store that had a similar, but less-spec’d model, to check it out. For construction, it just a little flimsy, but no worse than others; so this seems to be where laptops are now…really lightweight, but a little flimsy. Admittedly though, some still have, and I would have preferred, aluminum construction, but tradeoffs. So I ordered this.
The tech specs included in this for the price are very good. Notably:
-12th Gen. i5 processor.
-8GB DDR4 ram is “on par”, but the ram is 4GBx2 slot, and replaceable (i.e. not soldered in), upgradeable to 32GB (16GBx2).
-One Gen3 PCIE slot (with a default installed 512GB Gen3 SSD), and also a Gen4 slot, and room for a 2.5 SSD if you prefer (with an adapter). I swapped the Gen3 512GB SSD with a 1TB Gen4 SSD, both of which work(ed) well. ***Note that the pics reflect the new drive, not OEM***
- The screen is bright and vivid, enough for my liking anyway. “Iris Xe” graphics, apparently integrated graphics board, so good enough for basic gaming, but not great or upgradeable.
- Sound is a little “tinny” but I don’t expect too much from laptop speakers. One odd thing to note is that the speakers are on the front bottom of the laptop. I’d prefer them on top though.
-Thunderbolt 4 USB-c port. 10 Gbps fast (tested/confirmed), and will charge peripheral devices. And, yes, I tested/charged the laptop successfully with a USB-c charger through the TB4 port.
- Other USB ports are also USB 3+ (blue).
-HDMI, and speaker/mic ports, as expected.
-Wifi6 NIC which is fast and great…but this laptop also (still) has an onboard 1GB RJ-45 network port, which I use often in testing/when I need dual NICs or GB speed.
- The InsydeH2O UEFI is rather basic compared to other laptop firmware, but I suppose it’s adequate. It has very limited options/configurability, and no support for CSM or BIOS/legacy-mode.
- No mem-card slot.
- It has a Kensington lock port, though I personally have never uses these. But I guess it’s nice to have.
- I like the grey, sleek look of it.
-It comes with Win 11 Home, (which is downgrade-able to Win 10 if you prefer).
Bottom Line:
I’d have preferred Aluminum/sturdier construction and more robust UEFI/BIOS, which you might find in higher (i.e. double) priced laptops, along with some (perhaps) sturdier components. But the hardware/specs are very robust for this price point! This Acer laptop is testing well so far, and is currently in the process of replacing an aged, but great, Lenovo laptop. Good buy…hopefully it last as long as my last laptop!

I've had the laptop for just a few days, ran it through its paces and even took it apart to see what things I can change/add to it. The only thing I'm slightly disappointed with is that my particular laptop came with (2) 4 GB memory cards instead of (1) 8 GB memory card. On the bright side, neither are permanent so I'll have more flexibility if I decide to upgrade the memory. While I had the back cover off, I was happy to see that I can easily add a second PCIe drive or a SSD drive. (I've ask Santa to get me a 1 TB PCIe drive and I'm hopeful I'll get it cause I've been pretty good this past year.) :D
Comparing the specs between the i5 and the i7, the biggest thing for me was the Thunderbolt 4 port on the I5 which the i7 did not have. (That really surprised me.) This one little port is AMAZING because you can connect it to a Docking Station and the sky is the limit. I picked up the Fusion5 (14 in 1) docking station that allows me to add 3 monitors, a 100 watt charger (which charges the laptop), and a lot of other ports. In short, this one port allows this laptop to go from a 'laptop' to a full blown 'desktop' by connecting just one cable.
Getting back to the laptop, it's definitely worth the money (especially when it's on sale). I love that you can easily upgrade the RAM and add additional storage space. It's nice that the keyboard is 'backlit' but the annoying part is that it turns off after 30 seconds (when not typing). HOWEVER, there is a setting in the BIOS that will keep the 'backlight' on all the time. (You can see how to do it on YouTube and ACER's website has instructions as well.)
To replace it requires complete disassembly of the laptop and desoldering the old jack. Previous generations of this laptop had this jack on a connector to make the swap easier. Been buying Acers for years but this will be the last one
I've had this puter for almost a month now and I am very satisfied with it. I've had very good luck with Acer laptops so when it came time to replace the old one, Acer was at the top of my list. I'm old and not a power user or gamer so keep that in mind. It has taken me some time to get used to Windows 11 and the change in the lay out of the keyboard. But other than that, no issues with the puter. I believe the display is better than the previous Acer and it seems to boot and shut down faster than the old one. Overall, I believe this Acer is good value for the money.

As mentioned by other reviewer, the Thunderbird 4 port supports USB charging which is a good feature to have. 👍
Replaced 1 of the RAM modules with a 32GB stick and total RAM was 36GB so I believe it can utilize 64GB.
Machine temperature well below 176F/80C under stress for hours, probably due to throttling.
Still, the 12th gen i5 Intel CPU, Iris Xe handles few years old AAA games without issue, i.e. The Crew, The Division, ...
System came with full version of Cyberlink Power Director 14.
2 RAM slots and 2 disk storage slots.
Con:
Been using a full size keyboard so not used to the arrow and numeric keys size and arrangement although this is not the only machine with such layout.
