I'm impressed with this on paper. The webcam and noise canceling microphone just wow!! Time for an upgrade from my Inspiron 14" 2-in-1 from 2021.
I also upgraded from an older Dell 2 in 1 and I find it hard to use my Dell now. This is much larger (though not heavier), much faster, and has many more useful features. The only thing I miss on rare occasions is the ability to fold the screen back (the actual 2 in 1) but my other laptops can serve that purpose.
Well done review. I just purchased this laptop and am waiting for it to arrive. Thank you!
Your most welcome.😊 Hope you enjoy the laptop.
How loud do the fans get? And how hot does it get? Have you tried running any benchmark tests to push the processor?
I have this from Costco as well. Agree that this is the cheapest in when compared the same to other brands. Main selling point is that it has 32g and the top end ultra processor. Battery life lasts around 8hrs. One of just main gripe is the heat and noise. Ironically, Quiet mode works best for me as the fan wont spin aggressively. Heat blowing to the screen is hot. My solution on that is to just put it on a laptop stand and open the screen way back and just hook it up on the my bigger monitor.
I also looked at the Ryzen Oled version but got turned off by the 16gb option as I normally just keep my laptop for a few years.
Hi, I agree that the fans start spinning when u push this but I liked the fast that it ports the air up and away from my lap... though this is in front of the screen. The 32gb is a big plus and will make sure you get years of usage without showing this down. My only fear is that this ultra processor is benchmarking lower performance than some of last year's Ryzen and Core I processors (although with better battery life). The new snap dragon processors ( releasing this month) will beat the ultra in both. Thankfully Costco does have a 90 day return policy.
@@NuReview-lc3bf lol. Was debating internally if this will be returned or not because of the nuisance. Ended up keeping it as I do believe Acer had this design since 2020 and not much of an issue had popped out of this. Also, other selling point is the Arc GPU which is comparable to the 780m already. I do casual game a bit and is not conviced that the Snapdragon Elite's will be able to handle that (just yet due).
@chronicle_4 , keep an eye on those new snapdragon processors... the prelim tests seem to be amazing. Then agai n it won't have anything to compete with the Arc Gpu.... always a trade off 😔
Great, thank you for your review, this one is for me.
I am glad the review was helpful. I think you will enjoy the laptop.!!
@NuReview-lc3bf I bought the laptop and I'm loving it thank you again.
Good description!thanks 👍
Glad it was helpful!
If you need processing power I think this will be great for you.
Can you please do a hand in hand comparison video of this model with the Acer Swift Go 14?🥺
I will try and get my hands on a Go Swift 14 and get this review up soon. Thank you for the review request :)
@@ynnzxc review is up
... hope u enjoy
How much material flex is there on the laptop? For example, if you press on the lid, press on the touchpad, etc.. Is the screen wobbly when it's open or do the hinges hold the screen in a nice tight position?
Hi, I tried pressing on the lid with it closed and there did not seem to be much flex. There is some flex on the TouchPad and the space between the TouchPad and the keys but In normal use it does not seem noticeable. The hinges in the screen work well to hold it in place... no issues there. Hope this helps.
@@NuReview-lc3bf Amazing, thank you so much!
What's the refresh rate?
60 Hz for the model in this review (IPS display); the OLED display has 120 Hz refresh rate
Would this be good for an electrical engineer major?
If you need processing power with good battery life then this will be a good choice for you especially considering how light weight it is.
