Pros
Pro Has a top-notch display
This laptop's display outshines most of the competition, from various lab tests it managed to score 106.8% sRGB color gamut. Which is better than the average for this display size (83%).
The display is quite bright as well. At 327 nits you can clearly see what's on the screen even under direct sunlight.
Cons
Con Build Quality and Warranty
I've owned an ACER Aspire (i7, 1 TbHDD) a couple of years ago. The build quality is atrocious and, as a laptop it is just 'delicate', ie. it breaks. If you have it on the desk and hold the screen to twist it slightly to get a better look (we all do that), the screen shatters, there is NO support around the screen edges, it is just really flimsy. Any screen breakage is NOT covered by ACER warranty, the staff in the Phillipines (I asked) will not budge, screen broken your fault. So you have to send it back for a repair where (they do tell you) they wipe the disk (when replacing the screen - WTF). When it came back the laptop was scratched, it was (apart from the screen) in much worse condition than when I sent it away. More calls to the support centre and another two weeks without the laptop.
Then the screen surround started separating from the screen, it was about 2mm from the actual screen, you could get a lot in there. After much stuffing around with support and finally getting a manager from Australia after I complained (again they said it was my fault, I got it repaired, machine away another two weeks, HDD wiped.
Anyway, would never buy ACER again, entirely unsuitable as a laptop.
