    I purchased the "Acer - Aspire 3 – 17.3" HD+ Laptop – 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 – 8GB Memory – 256GB SSD – Pure Silver" to replace my old HP laptop. I have always been a die hard HP consumer, but I couldn't pass up the sale price of the Acer Aspire 3 at $299.99. I was not disappointed. It has Windows 11 Home, which is the main reason I wanted to upgrade. It also has the 17" screen, which is a plus. This Acer is lightning fast and very simple to setup. The only negative is that the speakers are on the bottom, so I lose a little volume because of that. But it's not a big deal for me.

    Overall, I've had a great experience with the laptop. I've had it for two years and it does all that I need it to and more. The memory is great, the sound is pretty good, and the fact that I can have multiple things open is even better, because I'm constantly writing papers for college.

    Upgrading from a 10 year old laptop might make me a bit biased, but this Acer Aspire is a huge leap over what I previously had. Windows 11 takes a little getting used to, but it is significantly better than Windows 8. The battery life seems to be pretty good, though I haven't fully tested how long it will last without being plugged in. I enjoy the 17 inch screen. Everything looks crisp and clear. Overall, this is a pretty good laptop for a pretty good price.

    Good value for the price. Smooth searching and game play online. Only issue was the charging cord broke where it plugs in the side. It was prob user error, 13 yr old using it.

    This Acer Aspire 3 performs as well as my other Acers! With a 17.3 inch display, 8GB memory and a 256 SSD, it gives me Windows 11 for the next several years. My current Acers (15.5 inch with Windows 10, 16GB memory, 1GB SSD and 13 inch Acer with 8GB memory, 1GB HHD) may or may not upgrade to Windows 11.

    Great laptop. Got a few days ago and have been using it non stop to see how it handles. I use it basically for internet browsing and basic needs. So for me the 8gb ram is working out fine. I got it as a deal of day special and no regrets. Good size and light weight. Thanks Best Buy. I have purchased all my laptops from you guys and just retired a 10 year old from you guys. My place for computers

    Just a fine laptop, not bad for the price, only thing i wish it had would be lighted keyboard keys. Fast, simple and extremely light weight. Haven't tested it to see how much it can handle yet but, but handles most normal day to day stuff easily, but have a feeling it will struggle with more intense tasks, but that's ok i have a powerhouse machine for that stuff. Love the light weight, needs a 1080p screen even at this price.
