Pros & Cons
Pros
Three usb ports is nice as well as the included sd card reader and one usb c port. The mx150 gpu is fine for casual games, the ssd is much faster than a hdd, and the battery life is impressive. The only part that feels cheap is the screen, and that is... Read More
My only gripe is the norton antivirus preinstalled. Worked fine back in april, didn't think any thing of it, but now. I'm one of those people who always has a million tabs open, and this laptop handles my irresponsible browsing just fine.

Cons
Photos tell the the * plastic sockets for their metal screws shear off, breaking the hinge. Laptop is unusable. Just out of warranty. Not sure it can be repaired, estimate is between 150-200.

I am not a gamer, nor do i have 50 internet windows open at once. Save your money get a different computer.

The battery life is decent and would he better if i could turn the damn brightness down 9n the screen.
Competitiveness
It's been about two years since i got this laptop, and it has been an absolute game-changer.
I bought it when i started college 6 years ago and the thing still runs like a champ!
So im not sure why acer would tell people its not compatible when the laptop even has a nvme m key slot for the m2.
To clear up the issue of nvme m2 drives with everyone,i can confirm 100% that the m2 slot will indeed accept and work with nvme... Read More

After two years the hinge got out of whack making the frame around the monitor pull apart
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Now it can only close with much careful manipulation so as not to break monitor frame in pieces altogether
