Good. NOT GREAT.

Good price for very good laptop. BUT, two things are a problem. 1. It does NOT have a backlit keyboard. This is really incorrect. 2. The touchpad is pure rubbish. Get a mouse. Do NOT rely on the touchpad. It has already lost functionality in 2 months. 3. the fingerprint reader is a disaster. For the price, you should expect imperfections. And if there's a workaround use it.

Great casual use computer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so pleasantly surprised by this Gateway computer! I’ve been using a MacBook Pro for about 13 years now and was skeptical about using a PC. However, this performed well above my expectations! I really appreciated how thin and lightweight it was. The entire computer was user friendly from the trackpad to the configuration. The display was excellent, brilliant colors and best of all no lag! This is a great computer for the casual user. It was a little slow when I was trying to use excel with a very large data file., but it got the job done!

Fantastic value and great performance. No regrets.

So far just great. This is a replacement for my old Win10 laptop, which was getting very slow and took an hour to boot and settle down to be usable. When they say this boots in 9 seconds, they aren't kidding. It has a beautiful, large screen, big keyboard, huge touchpad with (I love it) fingerprint recognition. I had a large hard drive on my old one, which I only used a small part of, so this smaller (256) SSD is fine. If I need more, I can swap it, or just use one of my external SSD's for storage. I like that you can add up to two 16gb memory cards for a total of 32gb. I don't game or do a lot of multi-tasking, so I probably won't need more than what it has (8). The laptop is very fast - I don't notice any lag. For the money, I don't think you can beat this thing. Acer/Gateway is a good brand, and I am sure it will last many years, or until MS decides I need a new one again.

Heavy, sturdy and efficient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this computer for my honest review, and I truly appreciate it. I work on a computer each day at work, so I do have experience with laptops. I have owned a few in my life, and I really enjoy the flexibility of being able to take it wherever you go. This particular laptop is kind of heavy, but it’s very sturdy and seems extremely durable. It starts up very quickly, and each app I use such as Edge, opens quickly and performs well. The display quality is nice, and the screen is ginormous. The battery life has been great so far as well. It charged quickly and lasted several days with it closed. I use it for school work mostly, but it came loaded with Solitaire and I was super excited. I would certainly recommend this laptop!

Good basic PC

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop was easy to set up and so far seems to have a solid battery life. For a laptop in 2024 I would expect USB-C charging capability but that’s really the only downside I see to it. It’s lightweight but the screen size is impressive. It was seamless to transfer files from my other PC over to this one. I like that it has a fingerprint reader. I will not use this PC for gaming but it will be good for writing and working from home.
