I bought one of these brand new and it seems like a pretty good deal, it's basically a Surface Pro for much, much cheaper. But I'm worried about it being an Acer and the long run reliability of the notebook. The "liquid cooling" system seems too revolutionary for a small notebook and also those specs for the price seem too good to be true.
Does anyone have experience with Acer laptops/notebooks?
A "tablet" with an i5, 8GB of ram and a 256GB SSD.

But its a tablet, not a notebook, not a laptop, not a 2 in 1.

>Why does the back need to balance against a table Trying to copy the Surface pro
Isaac Howard
you are right to be worried, its an acer, and its shit. cheap stuff that sounds too good to be true is generally that, too good to be true.
Ian Clark
It feels like a laptop/notebook to me, that's how I'm gonna use it.

>completely fanless (liquid cooling) what did this leaf mean by this?
Joseph James
Buy I'm pretty sure this category of Surface clones is best known as 2-in-1, or occasionally convertibles. I know you're just memeing for Sup Forums cred, but stop being a fag for a second or two.

I costs 800 USD for this model, liar
John Young
It means the thing has a small liquid loop and no fans.
Ryder Bailey
My gf uses my old Acer for playing sims 4.
It's an Ivy bridge i7 with gt640m. Still working perfectly.

I got a refurb + the store had a discount.

Does it throttle on load much?

Haven't tested it myself but apparently it doesn't throttle much.
This and the surface are tablets with kickstands and detachable keyboard covers.

>Does anyone have experience with Acer laptops/notebooks? Pure garbage, avoid at all costs. They cheap out on the build quality and sometimes the internals as well.
Samuel Rivera
Yeah... I thought the switch series were neat but they are slow as fuck throttle a lot and I've had two break in my household, they just stopped turning on.
Gabriel Harris
>throttle a lot
>We started off with 100% CPU load for about an hour and to be honest, we were quite surprised by the results. The chip maintained maximum operating frequency for two active cores (2.7 GHz) for the better part of the test. Then the chip started running at 2.4 – 2.6 GHz but still no thermal throttling. >As Acer accurately advertised, the device is capable of handling more demanding tasks and the performance is on par with a normal 15-inch laptop. The LiquidLoop cooling system is excellent and withstood our extreme test quite well.

personal experience or just stuff you've read on Sup Forums?
Sebastian Gonzalez
I had an acer aspire switch 12 that broke once under warranty and then the refurbished unit they sent me also broke a few weeks out of warranty. I hardly ever used it it was for my mother. Thing was painfully slow even when it wasn't throttling. It was one of the z series atom models.
Levi Davis
you forgot to quote me, but no. I had a laptop which feature an AMD Sempron I believe and 1GB of RAM, the fucking thing overheated in the first two years of ownership the bearing fucked up. The battery cracked in my backpack the screen is shit since its tuned to the warmer side of the spectrum with no way of changing that. Every Acer laptop I have seen is cheap plastic garbage.
Connor Wright
Also the battery life was garbage.
Zachary Hill
Disregard anything that tripfag says. He loves to troll.
Ian Russell
I do, but this time I'm serious. I wouldn't touch anything from acer unless it's a monitor

How many centuries ago was that? Any recent experience?

Collateral trollage.

Jackson Watson
Like 2-3 years ago. Acer is garbage. My grandparents bought a desktop and there wasn't enough glue for the ACER logo to stay on, it literally fell apart.
Colton Green
Have you actually used one? They are much different from a convertible and should be treated as such.
Connor Baker
I believe it was 4~ years ago It was a computer from 2009 I believe. Still no reason to feel like I was typing into shit and looking at piss.
Parker Sullivan
They have these at Costco for $649. Seems like a legit Surface Pro 4 for half the price.
Just get a fucking Surface 4. Literally the same price and the same specs with the Surface pro having a 3k screen, discrete gpu and windows 10 pro. Better pen too.
Nolan Smith
I don't see any Surface Pro with those specs at $700. The cheapest one is $699 and has a shitty core M and 4gb of ram.
