works so good, and looks amazing, very good laptop for work

This laptop is an incredible value, but a steal at the Black Friday price (best Black Friday laptop deal IMO). Great entry/mid level laptop with integrated AI-capability for students or casual users with plentiful CPU power, long battery life and bright crisp screen. -New Core Ultra 5 processor has performance on par with Core i5 processors with much higher energy efficiency. It only needs a 45 Watt USB-C Charger -Battery life is solid. Acer says 10.5 hours but I've been getting 12-13 hours -Screen is 1900x1200 which gives you much more usable viewing area compared to standard HD 1920x1080. 400 nit brightness is much higher than average laptops in this price range -Great webcam built-in. 2k resolution, background blur and portrait blur functions and privacy shutter which covers the lens. -Great keyboard for a laptop. Minimal flex and good feel/feedback. Backlit keys which is almost found in this price range (white color only and turns off after inactivity) -2x Thunderbolt 4 ports (one port used for power, so a USB-C hub is recommended) -Includes a laptop sleeve that matches the look of the Aspire Vero -"Greenest" laptop you can buy. Touchpad made from 100% recycled ocean bound plastic, chassis is 60% post consumer recycling, and 100% recyclable packaging. Cons -8GB RAM is not upgradable as it is a soldered to the board and lacks a 2nd RAM slot. I find 8GB to be fine for most things, but anyone needing to work on larger Excel files, photo/video editing, light gaming, etc. should have 16GB minimum. -The R and E keys are printed flipped 180 degrees on the keyboard, a quirky design style found on all Vero models.

Overall the computer is very good. Fast speed, nice screen. Did not like how the recycle plastic look. The plastic looks dirty. When I open it, I thought the plastic was dirty, so I try to clean it, did not realized that was how the plastic look.

Picked this laptop up for school, works great, fast ebough to not get bogged down. Not top of the line but works well for what i need it for.

Computer works good some bloatware was slowing the machine down on startup I removed it and now it works great. Bought it on deal of the day it was a good deal.
