This an honest review and I'm in IT as a job. I am furthering my education and wanted something for education, light gaming, and streaming some movies every now and then. So here it goes.PROS: Amazing big bright nice resolution screen at this price point! Love the backlit keyboard with nice ergonomic layout (and a nice full size keyboard layout with number pad) Love how they managed to squeeze in an  ethernet port at this price point. Slim sleek design and despite it being plastic it looks premium with the finish. I like how there's USB ports on 2 sides (hate it when USB ports are bunched together). The boot time is nice and I like the capacity of the SSD at this price point though 256GB would be generous (I stored stuff in cloud so not as big of a deal as you'd think). Camera is pretty good I use it in Zoom meetings and it does the job. Big track pad for mouse with lots of real estate to move your fingers on and I like the pinch feature.CONS: For some reason the WiFi signal seems weaker than my other laptops at same distances. Maybe a driver update? BIG CON: The mousepad doesn't seem to engage when you tap on it when you want to click as well as it will select all when it shouldn't (can be frustrating to use once in a while). It can be wonky. Maybe a software driver update needed? Adjusting the touchpad in Windows 10 settings helps a little bit.  I think it wouldn't have hurt that much for Acer to have it include 8GB of RAM at this price point. I do notice a performance hit at 4GB of ram, but again at this price point this does so much and more where I see laptops at $500 price point. Battery life leaves more to be desired. Charges fast but the life on the battery isn't stellar or great. Just good. Another annoying oversight by Acer that's stupid cheap considering they have a backlit keyboard is no indicator light on "caps lock" key to let you know whether it's on or off. Kind of standard on many laptops today.This is my review after having it for about a week on 8/17/20I will update my review after about 6-8 months.
