Acer - Aspire 3 Thin & Light Laptop - 15.6" Full HD IPS Touch Display - AMD Ryzen 5 7520U - 8GB LPDDR5 - 512GB SSD - Wi-Fi 6 - Steam Blue

Just got this Acer Aspire 3 laptop from Best Buy and thought I'd share my thoughts after using it for a bit! Overall, this is a pretty decent laptop that won't break the bank. The touchscreen is surprisingly nice - wasn't expecting that at this price point! The screen is bright and clear, and being able to tap and swipe makes scrolling through websites and docs way more intuitive than I expected. Performance-wise, it handles my daily stuff without breaking a sweat. I'm talking Chrome with multiple tabs, Word, Excel, streaming Netflix - all the usual stuff. The Ryzen 5 processor definitely pulls its weight. That 512GB SSD is plenty of space for most people, and it makes everything load super quick. The build is... well, it's plastic, but that keeps it lightweight which is great for carrying around. It's not going to turn heads like a MacBook, but it gets the job done. A few nitpicks though - 8GB RAM is fine for now, but if you're like me and keep 20+ browser tabs open while running other programs, you might notice some slowdown. Also, while the battery life isn't terrible, don't expect to go a full day without your charger. Bottom line: If you're looking for a reliable laptop for everyday stuff like browsing, office work, or Netflix, this is a solid choice. Just don't expect it to handle heavy gaming or video editing. For students or anyone needing a dependable work laptop that won't empty their wallet, this Acer definitely deserves a look. Just my two cents!

I wanted to wait to write this review until I had the laptop for awhile and I only have good things to say. For reference, I only use my laptop for normal web browsing, light word/excel work and casual gaming (have not tried any MMO or similar games). It is exactly everything I needed. The touch screen is a must have for me and works well. The keyboard is reactive and not as bad of a transition from a normal keyboard. It's plenty fast enough for my needs and has a decent battery life. It's easy to use and easy to set up. The screen quality is great and it's perfect size to stream a show or movie. Sound quality is good too. I'm obviously not someone who is super into computers, but I am a human being who uses the internet, likes entertainment, and has to check emails and edit excel sheets sometimes. I'm sure this thing does cool things I don't know about, but it was a value to me regardless. Also, it's blue and fits perfectly in my standard size backpack. Please enjoy the photo that the laptop took of my dog, Tilly. The TL:DR: Great laptop who the person who doesn't exactly know how much laptop they need, but knows they need a laptop.

So far so good. Very nice. Screen is very sharp and clean for videos. Pretty fast for what i use it for. Battery life is good and love the touch screen although i dont use it much. I like my screen to be clean.
