One of the best values out there. Full linux support as well, upgradeable. NVME STORAGE
*UPDATE : The labtop completely died near end of warranty, would not charge or power up. Acer replaced motherboard, about 2 weeks turn around time.

The only down side is the 4 gb of ram. 128 nvme is AMAZING at this price, makes the labtop amazingly snappy. Reads are in 1.3-1.4 GB/s range.
The display is great for the price, viewing angles are fantastic. Perfect for media consumption. Easily comparable with labtops 2-2.5 times the price. This is bar far my #1 reason for keeping the machine. speakers arent great though, have bluetooth headphones handy.
I was able to put POP OS 19 on it without an issue, everything worked perfectly and its very snappy. Due to the nvme you are going to get amazing snappiness.
Fully upgradable! There is a included screws to mount 2.5 drive in the box, you can switch wifi card , add another stick of ram , or swap the M.2.
Ram runs at 2400 based on platform, so dont bother with expensive stuff. The included one is rated at 2666.
Stays cool since its a small chip. Fan isnt loud at 100%.
Battery life lasts about 3-3.5 hours underload with brightness at 40%.
I was able to run dawn of war ii and a few other older games at medium 1080P at half decent frame rates on linux, older games forsure though.
Keyboard is good , much better than idealpad3XX and swift3. I've seen much worst on much more expensive devices.
I actually really like the aluminium cover, makes the device look premium.
This is great machine to consume videos and do light typing without being frustrated by cost or the performance, A+ Acer for putting every dollar where it makes the user experience pleasant .
