for my purposes like excel, word, browsing, social media, blogging, light photo-editing, and other non-intensive (non-gaming) activities, this laptop is great. it’s fast, 0 to 60 in 10 seconds (the fingerprint reader helps rather than using the password). it’s quiet; it’s replacing an old dell inspiron 15 which had become a constant whir of fan and hard drive so that the acer feels almost eerily quiet. i did due diligence and the big bang of cpu, graphics, fhd, ram, ssd, wifi 6, backlit kb, and fpr beats anything out there (there’s an asus vivobook that’s comparable for a little more and was the last competitor in the running). who knows what the build quality will give me for years of usage but if it’s half-decent, it shouldn’t become obsolete in just a few. my only complaint as of now is the ever-so-slightly crooked ‘full hd 1080’ sticker on the left-bottom bezel of the screen, but i’m an ex-qc guy whose eye has been spoiled by too many close inspections. but if anything else wrong appears (knock wood), i’ll edit this review.

Have it for close to 2 months. I am very happy with it. Everything is snappy. The screen display is very good, i.e. sharp, bright, and no reflection. After the 30 days return window, I added a 2nd HDD with Sony 860 Evo – 500gb 2.5″ SATA drive, and replaced the 4gb ram with a Crucial 16gb Ram. Now the laptop has 756gb memory and 20gb ram.Update 7/22/21 – Exactly 5 months from the day I bought it, the laptop is acting very weird. The fan is on loud most of the time, even when the laptop is sleeping. When waking up, the screen is totally black while the keyboard light is on. I have to hit the power key until the laptop turns off. Then turn it back on for everything to work again. Very upset about this.Update 7/24/21 – I found the culprit that caused fan working loudly all the time, and screen turned black when wake up. It’s not Acer’s fault. The PresentationFontCache.exe was using 28% to 35% of CPU, causing an overheat. You can find this culprit in the Task Manager. Search in Google, many advised to just delete the file. They also explained how it could be done. Once I delete the file and reboot, my Aspire is working like normal again: nice, fast and quiet. No more loud fan, and black screen. It’s back to 5 stars.

This was a super good deal as they are now selling for ~$500 more than I paid. My only complaint is I wish I would have bought another one for my wife but 3 days after I receive it, realized what a great computer it was for the price (paid $799 from Amazon), they were sold out when I tried to purchase another one. Super fast with a beautifully clear screen, aluminum case, SD hard drive, it’s GREAT!

This is a pretty good Acer laptop. I have used Acer laptop since 2016 and this model has just been purchased earlier this month. It runs very fast and boots up completely in less than 10 seconds. The i7 core 11th gen quad core CPU with 8 threads and 12 MB cache makes this laptop to handle multi-tasking easily. You can open up more than 20 web browsers without lagging. Thanks for the 16 GB RAM too. However, there’s no much discount to buy this laptop now. But the value of the laptop is still lower than same specs Dell, Lenovo, and HP laptops. It’s a decent deal on Amazon.

My wife is using it to do her facebook and order from Amazon. For that it works well. I’ll eventually get Ancestry.com on it and then we can travel with our vices. It’s working well so far. We like it. No reason for we old folks to complain about these modern day devices. It does what we want it to do, therefore it’s perfect for our uses.

I’ve owned a number of Dell laptops and attempted my most recent upgrade with a Dell as well, ordering it directly from dell.com. But it arrived damaged and Dell refused to send a replacement in a timely manner, so I canceled the order, decided to look elsewhere, and ended up ordering this unit from Amazon. So far I’m quite pleased with it. Seems to be equally good in every way to the Dells that I’ve had in the past, but for slightly less money. My first laptop with fingerprint reader and I’ll not go back to not having one – super convenient, and the reader on this unit seems to be quite responsive – the need for re-tries is rare. The verdict is still out regarding if this unit will hold up over time but it seems well-made and sturdy so my hopes are high. If it does hold up reasonably, I’ll definitely look first to Acer for its ultimately replacement.

There were some fan and screen issues until updates were done, which included BIOS updates. Once the updates were easily done then the laptop works like a charm. The extra RAM, I7 and IRIS video makes it pretty zippy. Used by college student.

I just needed an inexpensive PC laptop for light gaming, email, and web browsing. This Acer Aspire fit the bill perfectly for me. It’s not a powerhouse, so would not play heavy online games very well, but for the games I play (mostly hidden object and time management games) it is perfect. The display is beautiful, and it is lightning fast because of the SSD. I am very pleased with my purchase.
