Have it for close to 2 months. I am very happy with it. Everything is snappy. The screen display is very good, i.e. sharp, bright, and no reflection. After the 30 days return window, I added a 2nd HDD with Sony 860 Evo - 500gb 2.5" SATA drive, and replaced the 4gb ram with a Crucial 16gb Ram. Now the laptop has 756gb memory and 20gb ram.
Update 7/22/21 - Exactly 5 months from the day I bought it, the laptop is acting very weird. The fan is on loud most of the time, even when the laptop is sleeping. When waking up, the screen is totally black while the keyboard light is on. I have to hit the power key until the laptop turns off. Then turn it back on for everything to work again. Very upset about this.
Update 7/24/21 - I found the culprit that caused fan working loudly all the time, and screen turned black when wake up. It's not Acer's fault. The PresentationFontCache.exe was using 28% to 35% of CPU, causing an overheat. You can find this culprit in the Task Manager. Search in Google, many advised to just delete the file. They also explained how it could be done. Once I delete the file and reboot, my Aspire is working like normal again: nice, fast and quiet. No more loud fan, and black screen. It's back to 5 stars.

Es una laptop rápida, ligera y de buena estética, cumple con la descripción.
Cuando la prendí por primera vez hice el update a windows 11.
Actualización: Llevo alrededor de 5 meses con la laptop y funciona correctamente todo aunque en ocasiones las actualizaciones me manden pantalla azul pero basta con presionar el boton y reiniciar, de acuerdo a las sugerencias que el mismo soporte de windows recomienda y sigue funcionando con normalidad hasta el momento.
