This is my first time using an Acer laptop, but I've had an Acer desktop computer for years, which I've really enjoyed. I've been very happy with the quality, performance, and ease-of-use so far with this laptop. The main reasons I considered purchasing this particular model included the solid state drive, the decent amount of RAM at 16GB, the WiFi-6 capabilities, and the reasonably good amount of storage space. Also, it provides quite a number of ports, so I can attach all the accessories and portables that I want. What I appreciate the most so far is definitely the solid state drive. I've been using those for years, and I just love how fast they are. Booting up the computer takes seconds, and I'm ready to go. Overall, I do like the design of this laptop. The keyboard has a nice feel to it, and my only tiny complaint there is the layout format of the 10-Key pad. I work in Accounting and Bookkeeping, and I'm used to a certain layout, which this pad doesn't really offer. Some of the operation keys aren't where I'm used to having them, but I can still accomplish what I need to do. I don't use this for its gaming, so I can't speak to how well it performs there. However, as just a nice home office laptop that is fairly light weight and performs well, I'm happy with it so far.

After using my laptop daily for the past few months, I can confidently say it's been a reliable tool for both work and leisure. I mainly use it for web browsing, document editing, video calls, and some light multimedia use, and it hasn't let me down.What I Like:Smooth Performance: The processor and RAM handle multitasking well—whether I’m switching between tabs or using office apps, everything runs smoothly.Fast Boot and Load Times: Thanks to the SSD, startup and app launches are quick, which saves me time every day.Decent Display: The screen is bright and clear enough for work and watching videos, with good color accuracy.Portable and Lightweight: Easy to carry around, especially important when I work outside or travel.Room for Improvement:Battery Life: It’s fine for a few hours of use, but not ideal for a full day without a charger.Audio Quality: The speakers are just average—not great for music or movies without headphones.Trackpad Feel: A bit less responsive than I’d like, but manageable.Overall Verdict:This laptop strikes a great balance between price and performance. It’s not a high-end powerhouse, but for students, professionals, or anyone who needs a dependable everyday machine, it does the job well. I’d definitely recommend it for basic to moderate use.

Pretty Happy overall. I upgraded to the Ryzen 5 from 3 that was initially listed. I wanted at least 8 GB of RAM but the upgrade set it to 16 GB which is great but more than I will ever need. The Amazon listing on the RAM size was a bit vague. I was satisfied with at least 8 GB. Upgrade also switched the screen to touch. I generally hate touch but so far its OK. I had to fight the BIOS and set a password to reload with Linux but it only took a bit of research over a few minutes.The POWER button looks like anything else on the keyboard and I struggled with that for a bit. Included docs did not help very much. NumPad is fine for editing and cursor control but undersized for normal 10 Key data entry which I can do.

I have had my Acer Aspire 3 for over a year and a half and use it daily. I used Dells before this Acer and can honestly say the Acer is so far ahead of Dell I can't believe it. This Acer has out lasted the last 3 Dells I had and so far no problems. I don't do gaming or editing just use it for research, emailing, videos ect. The only thing I have had to do is replace the plug in which I picked up from amazon for eleven dollars. Very happy with this laptop and hope it keeps on working the way it has.

Honestly a great laptop I took a chance on.So I had a cheap laptop that was for basic function and decided to spend a little more. Well here’s what I got from this purchase.*Internet is fast: like the difference is huge to the point I can get into zoom calls without issue.Great budget gaming: so I been playing stuff from 2015 and earlier and lemme tell you this laptop plays immensely well. Civ 5 runs well and am having a blast.Smooth: just no glitches or issues it’s reasonable speed and function which I enjoy.If your looking for something to be just reasonable and don’t need super high end graphics or design this is the laptop for you.

I had an older laptop that ran windows 10 but was automatically updated to windows 11. Once that happened it was very slow and not responsive. This ACER laptop runs windows 11 without any issues. The boot up speed is fast and its very nimble with surfing the net. Very light weight and the screen is very clear. The number keys on the side make it easy to input numeric data, much faster then hunting for the numbers up top of the keys. The keyboard is very responsive and easy to navigate. Set up was very easy and I was able to get all of my accounts set up quickly. Haven't tried gaming yet but I'm sure it would do fine.For the money, you cant beat this product.
