I've never owned any Acer products, this is my first and it's a really nice laptop. I really like that the screen is 17.3" because I can edit my photos as well as watch tv and movies. I love that it has a bluelight shield to protect my eyes because I'm on my laptop most of the day and don't have to turn the brightness really low to where I can barely see anything or the colors aren't bright because this laptop has great picture quality. There are 3 USB ports, 1 HDMI port, one that you can use for your headphones, but there are 2 that I have no idea what they are. It was very easy to set up, the software walked you through everything and of course you can personalize it. There so many apps already installed like Amazon, Prime video, Disney+, tik tok, movies anywhere, messenger, and a number of games which I never had on my previous laptop. You can also link your phone up to it and that is such a plus for me because it's so convenient, I can make and take calls, manage your mobile notifications, view your photos, and my favorite, text, I am so slow on the phone but I can type quickly on the computer. It's thin, portable and not heavy of the size. It's also fast, battery lasts a long time and has plenty of storage. If you're in the need of a laptop for work, school or even just personal use, I recommend this.
