    The Acer is excellent. I like it's weight and slimness compared to my previous laptop. It is excellent to work with and fast. I have only had it since June 12th and am very happy with it.

    This was a great choice for my son's on-campus carry around laptop. Great price and it does everything he needs it to do for his class work. It was easy for him to setup and get it going, connected to the campus internet. It has plenty of processing speed and a nice large hard drive for whatever files he needs to store locally. Battery life not super long last all day for him. Though it is light and thin (so it fits easily in his backpack and is easy to carry around), it seems sturdy enough.

    Good Value for a Nice 15.6" Laptop with 512GB SSD

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend - her old laptop was incredibly slow, was small and thus rather inconvenient to use. This, despite coming with Windows 11, is orders of magnitude faster than her older laptop which I think ran Windows 7 or 10; I am sure that is partly due to the fact this has solid-state disk storage instead of traditional physical spinning disk storage. She has been using it since she received it and often reminds me how much faster and easier to read it is than her older laptop. What she uses it for - MS Office suite (for work), web browsing and such - does not put heavy demand on the CPU and system overall, and based on its price and speed rating, probably would strike as being slow for those who do heavy gaming, graphics/video editing, etc.

    Overall this a pretty good laptop for the price. I love the fast boot up and the battery life is excellent. When it’s connected to an external monitor, I have gotten over 11 hrs of battery life! The processor is fast and I have not experienced any slowness.

    I bought it for a part time work from home but (still able to travel) job. It serves this purpose fine. I connected a USB hub for ethernet, mouse/keyboard and other peripherals to connect as there are never enough ports on any computer for all that is needed to work efficiently these days. The one drawback that I have found is that when I connected a 2nd monitor thru USB-c, I discovered that the laptop does NOT have the ability to power the 2nd monitor like many laptops. I worked with Acer tech support and this was confirmed. I did not rate the battery life as I always leave my laptops plugged in when working. Other than that, the touch screen works great, the speed is good and for basic work and personal functioning this laptop is a great buy for the price.

    I love this laptop. It's super simple to use and it was super simple to transfer all my data from my last laptop to this one. The screen resolution is great! It's relatively light, the touch screen works like a charm, and I know it's silly but i love the color too.

    An excellent computer for non gamers even though it can play games it's not optimized for games, good battery life, very light 15.6 screen it's a perfect computer for us . Now I am going to buy one for my 91yr.old mom

    Easy to use and setup! Fast! I've loaded all the office products plus and there is still room on the drive. The number keys are a little different but I've gotten use the them.. it does weigh some but I'll gladly live with that... And the power plug is a little undersized when it comes to handling and being robust.. but for the money, this laptop delivers! Worth considering..

    After much deliberation between the Acer Aspire 3 Thin & Light and a similar HP model, I was pleasantly surprised by the Acer's impressive specs at its price point. The 15.6" Full HD IPS Touch Display is sharp and responsive, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7520U paired with 8GB RAM offers smooth and snappy performance. Considering the specs and the price, this Acer truly delivers incredible value for money. While I've always been partial to HP, the Aspire 3 stands out as a noteworthy contender. A delightful discovery for those looking for quality without breaking the bank!

    It's a super fast computer that actually runs smoothly. It has great storage too. The one issue was that its driver needed to be updated, but it worked great after I did that. The battery made me nervous at first because it died after it's first charge within one hour. I think it just needed to be filled and emptied one complete time. It now holds its charge for hours.
