    Purchased for general use, internet, email, etc and it’s perfect for that. Nice big screen, light weight, good keyboard feel. One negative Norton virus protection loaded automatically and screw up the Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections. Had to do a complete reset, thought about returning it but worked my way through it. All good now.

    I recently purchased this laptop computer for my wife. It has a huge 17.3-inch crystal-clear display and it's super-fast for crunching everything she needs to do on a computer. Plus, it has plenty of room for upgrades down the road. In short, we are very happy with this purchase. Thanks, Best Buy!

    This laptop is all I as hoping for. Slim but still has the screen size I was looking for. Good battery life as well. I had read the speakers weren't very good, but I haven't had the same experience I actually never have them turned up past 80 percent

    I bought this laptop for my daughter who was needing one for college. It works great for all her needs. The hard drive is a bit on the small side but by utilizing OneDrive, she is able to have many different programs on it without having to worry much about storage space.

    I bought this to replace my mother's old laptop. She loves this computer. It is so fast. The larger size in good for her to see and read. I would recommend this, if you are looking for a 17.3 inch laptop. Acer has always been my favorite.

    Got this for my father-in-law and in general for the price I'm pleased with it. The two big downsides, no SD card full or micro and no USB-C so there is some pretty limited I/O but enough regular USB ports to get you by. The screen is good for what it is, not bad, not great.

    I enjoy my Acer, especially the price. I do with that I had paused to purchase another computer with illuminated keys, but that's about the only draw back. I'm glad a friend recommended the solid state drive which I did request. That makes the computer much faster than I had two computers before.

    The Aspire 3 performs much faster than I anticipated! Loads much faster than I expected for core i3 DB. Video is bright and sharp! The 17.3 " screen makes this laptop ideal for watching videos and sports events!

    The 17.3" screen is crisp and clear, extremely fast, perfect for multi-tasking. Need to adapt to Windows 11 Home and the sound quality is lacking, but otherwise, rhis Acer more than meets my needs.
