Lightweight in my backpack
I think the laptop is very light, but feels solid. The full aluminum housing looks very nice and luxurious. It is a pity that it gets a bit warm with intensive use.
Light aluminum The laptop is very light. I looked it up quickly: 1.5 kilograms. Yesterday I worked with the laptop in the library. The Acer slipped right into my bag and my backpack didn't feel heavy on my shoulders while I was cycling. Moreover, thanks to the luxurious aluminum, the laptop is very sturdy. I wasn't worried about scratches or dents as my bike bumped over cobblestones. The only drawback of the thin design is that it gets warm with intensive use. Not ideal for your lap.
Log in with my finger I find it difficult to come up with a secure password. I often use something not too complex. Is no longer necessary. You log in with your fingers via the fingerprint scanner. That goes very quickly, because almost immediately when I touch the reader I am already logged in. And typing my password incorrectly 3 times is also a thing of the past.
Comfortable keyboard I often work on the road and then I don't feel like carrying a separate keyboard or mouse. That is quickly half a kilogram more in my bag. Fortunately, that is not necessary with the Acer. The keyboard types very well, makes little noise and the keys are easy to press. An extra plus: in the evening I sometimes watch a Netflix series in bed. When I type in the title of my favorite series, there is no need for a light. The keyboard is illuminated.
Accurate touch pad An external mouse takes up extra space in my bag and I don't want that. The touchpad of the Acer works well. When I slide my fingers over the smooth surface, the white mouse icon reacts exactly as I want. So no more grumpy because the touchpad wants to lead a life of its own and no more loose mice for me.
Nice colours I often watch series on my laptop. That is fine to do on this screen. Colors look nice, sharp and not faded. My girlfriend can also watch thanks to the good viewing angles, so I can continue to tire her with weird YouTube videos. You don't have to sit right in front of the screen for a good picture. The sound is also okay, but nothing special. Of course it remains a laptop and not a floorstanding speaker.

I bought this laptop for online school (university). The battery life is really good, if the laptop is on all day and if I have online lessons, it also lasts all day. The fans work well. They are never blowing hard and the laptop does not heat up quickly, and when it does get warm it is at most room temperature. For online lessons I use programs such as Microsoft Teams, Kaltura and Zoom and this laptop can handle that very well. The design may not look very nice on the product photos, but in reality it is not that bad. I had to get used to the keyboard a lot. Before this I had a Dell and an HP and this keyboard is a bit flatter and the keys are a bit further apart in my opinion. Still, it is a nice keyboard with which you can type quickly and error-free. The sound sounds a bit hollow, but this is (for me) no reason not to buy the laptop. If you put on headphones or have earphones in, you won't be bothered by this. Watching Netflix or lectures without earphones is also just fine. The laptop is light and easy to take to school. The fingerprint scanner does not work half the time. You really need to make sure the scanner is clean and so is your finger. It's annoying to pay attention to that all the time, but it's a handy addition to a laptop. As far as I'm concerned, this is a good laptop to buy for school if you don't have an expensive Macbook or Dell or the like. want to buy! Highly recommended!

Looks nice and was easy to install. Nice keyboard. In the back are some sort of grooves that make the design beautiful, but (I think) can quickly become ugly, but I haven't had the laptop long enough to know for sure. Otherwise satisfied.
