I have had a Acer Chromebook since 2019 and have needed to upgrade for awhile. I recently got a new remote job that pretty much forced me to upgrade since the Chromebook had 2GB of RAM and almost no storage.
This Acer has been great for the past month. I was looking for something with at least 8GB RAM and 256 or more memory. The speed of this computer has been wonderful. I can have multiple tabs going at once and have had no issues thus far. I have not loved Windows operating systems in the past, but this one isn’t too bad. Once you get rid of Microsoft edge and use Google Chrome, it was back to business as usual for me. Perfect size for me, lightweight and easy to travel. The protective case it came with was a small, but nice bonus as well.
Battery life hasn’t been tested too specifically yet but I have easily worked for 3-4 hours off the charger and have had plenty of battery left. So I think it’s going to be just fine in that regard.
I’ve been told I can probably do some gaming with this computer but I haven’t tried that yet, as I much rather use my PS5. All in all, this computer is plenty powerful for what I need. Zoom calls, research, multiple tabs open, Slack, ClickUp (productivity apps).
Highly recommend at this price point.

Item: R3-7320U
This laptop should perform well for most uses except heavy gaming or video/photo editing. Overall for $292 this laptop cant be beat. If it lasts a year I will be extremely happy. Time will tell regarding longevity.
Important tips: 11/5/23
*You must update the system BIOS as soon as possible as there is a flaw which causes poor performance on battery power.
*This item includes Windows 11 with “S” mode enabled. At the very least you need to remove this mode and without a microsoft account it is not straightforward to do so.
*Install Windows 10 instead. Use the Windows ISO USB media creation tool. Save an image of the current SSD drive.. create a recovery thumb drive and then wipe the SSD. Doing a clean Win10 install from a USB stick does not require a new license key! The Win11 key automatically applies to the newly installed Windows 10 Home version. Go to the Acer website and download/install all the newest available drivers for your model.
*Ditch (save) the power adapter and charge it instead with a USB-C – USB-C cable.
Pros:
Very acceptable screen quality for this price range.
Measured USB and NVME speeds are good
Decently built and should hold up to light abuse
With proper drivers the CPU/GPU seem more than sufficient for light tasks
Good battery life and seems to run cool with little fan noise
Cons:
There is no keyboard backlight despite the listing description
You cannot upgrade this laptop. Internally there is no spot for a second drive and as far as I can tell no way to increase the RAM.
The touchpad and buttons require more force than usual.
No page up or page down buttons
No ethernet or SD card ports
Hobbled Win11 OS requiring more than the average skill to get right

👍🏻The device is great

The graphics are crisp and clear. I love the keyboard. It’s fast. It’s fun. So much better than my old Toshiba, which I still love, but it’s slower than molasses. I use a laptop to stream movies, videos, and look at Real Estate, Pinterest, Indeed, Youtube, Amazon, and Facebook. I don’t need it for work. I’m a casual user. This is the best laptop. The keyboard has a scratchy feel to the keys–best way to describe their texture. No backlit keyboard like my Toshiba. Everything is a thumbs up!!!!! You must purchase this laptop!

Arrived on time. Computer takes a few minutes to set up, but they all do. Works find & is fast. Only thing & this is my fault for not doing enough research, it has a 15″ screen which for me is a little small. I would have no problem buying this brand again just I would look for a larger screen. Nice computer!

Extra laptop for my business.
Really good for my employee

I love this laptop, and I can play Stardew Valley and Minecraft just fine on it! So it can play games that aren’t too graphic! It’s easy to figure out and use. I love the quality of they keyboard too, it’s a good clicky keyboard. I think the color is fine, you can just put colorful stickers on it to brighten it up! But also make sure you get your time zone set up right, otherwise it won’t load some apps. I’d recommend this laptop to friends and family, hopefully this review was helpful to you gamers out there!

This laptop is one of the best purchases I’ve made on Amazon. For Its value it’s exceeded all expectations I could’ve had for it. Very lightweight and battery life is good. My only critique is that this playback on speakers is low.

Tiene un rendimiento muy muy bueno, no se ha trabado para absolutamente nada, ahora quien se ha quedado lento es mi internet jaja, su calidad en todo sentido es excelente, lo que no me agrada del todo es su cargador, pero, sin duda es lo mejor para el precio, sobretodo aquí en México que para ese precio te ofrecen laptops con calidad horrible, de verdad que la volvería a encargar de nuevo, no se calienta, estéticamente es preciosa, su procesador es de lo mejores, la memoria sí que no es grande pero a la vez siento que está bien para que el procesador pueda rendir de la mejor manera, igual ya existen los discos duros, así que no hay pierde, si quieren algo de excelente calidad, estéticamente precioso y con un precio bajo, es la mejor opción ya que cuenta con prácticamente todo lo necesario casi para hacer cualquier cosa, no tuve tampoco ningún problema con el envío ni nada, la trajeron de Estados Unidos a México y todo muy bien (dato: la cámara también está preciosa cuando hay buena iluminación y el audio es muy bueno, no muy alto pero sí mucho mejor que el de mi laptop pasada sin duda).

Good overall for the price, but there are a couple things holding it back from a 5-star
PROS:
– Really crisp and nice screen
– FULL keyboard, with function keys and full numpad
– Large trackpad
– Seems to run pretty well, and can even play a few games (Hat in Time, Destroy All Humans, RAD, and Deep Rock Galactic were tested)
– As many USB ports (Type-A and C) as most laptops seem to have today
– Full-sized HDMI port
CONS:
– Speaker is pretty bad
– WIFI! No matter what I did, I couldn’t get it to do 2 things at once. Download a game OR play some music OR browse the web, but never twice at once
– Windows 11 in S-Mode. Need I say more? It was a nightmare to downgrade from S-Mode, but once it was done, Win11 doesn’t seem all that bad, although it does take up a large chunk of the SSD.
– Small SSD at only 128G in a time when a 500G drive is only $50. But what can you expect for a $400 laptop? 128G is only $16
