Pros & Cons
Pros
I am very pleased with the quality of this laptop especially for the price. I'm sure this acer will perform very well once i get use to it.
It has a numeric keyboard and dedicated delete and insert keys. Not a big deal, but rather annoying to have to use the fn key everytime. Touch pad works great, especially during typing.
Comes with all the screws (8) necessary for the installation. Includes the bracket and cord to add one. This model has the ram built in to the mother board and has only 1 expansion slot so that is the only drawback i could find.
Cons
This laptop is an unholy marriage between amazon's alexa and big daddy microsoft's proprietary bloatware. Alexa is yours forever, because you can't uninstall the program. Buyer beware terrible service with acer!
The build quality is horrendous. The weight is absurd. Most glaring is the price. A $500 laptop has less utility than a $2 timex.
Highlights
Quality
No issues were encountered with the ram upgrade and it is running at 3200mhz.
I really suggest to install another 8 gb @ 3,200 mhz in this slot to improve perfomance, specially in games, as it would run in... Read More
Even with the ryzen in there the video card isn't good enough to go past that point.
I agree with the techno panda video review, which is comprehensive.
Price
The computer for what it is, is definately worth the price.
As far as price goes, you can get this for under $250 if you open an amazon credit card to buy this.
Competitiveness
I've upgraded both the ram and added a 2tb crucial ssd for additional storage and everything just runs!
This is a steal of a deal considering the price at the time.
It is advertised as ryzen 5 5500u (6 core) but it came with a 7520u (4 core).
I ordered silicon power ddr4 16gb 3200mhz (pc4-25600) cl22 sodimm at the same time so i could upgrade.

I selected the 8gb option and was expecting 4gb to be soldered and one 4gb stick in the ram slot based on some research

Temperatures are fine except at 100 load for prolonged periods which is not surprising for a thin laptop
