    R7-5700U

      Yep agreed a good choice for a budget laptop. I've used mini PCs for workstation related tasks and it goes really well. Obviously not built for gaming and should be blatantly obvious at this price.

    • fatpotato123 on 10/03/2025 - 17:20

      Despite the name, Ryzen 5700U isn't a real 5000-series. It's a 4000-series in disguise

        It's more than meets the eye

    I have a mini PC with a 5825U, and it's decent, I have been playing BF4 on it, Cinebench R23 it gets around 10500 points at 35w, I did overclock it to 65w using a third party utility, and it gets almost 13000 points on R23.

    TN screen = straight to landfill

      Yes and no.. its not as bad as the TN panels of the past but IPS is the better option for sure.

      LOL you obviously don't remember the days of STN and DSTN (passive matrix) displays. A TN (active matrix) TFT screen used to command huge premiums.

    • stephendt on 10/03/2025 - 17:17

      I wouldn't say straight to landfill but it can be rough to look at. I usually like to tweak the contrast values in the GPU drivers to give the colours a bit more pop.

    Acer for seven hundred bucks? Yeah, nah.

    • smartProverble on 10/03/2025 - 17:52

      At least it's not a no name brand

    Here is a NuclearNotebook review of a Ryzen 3 variant of the same laptop, the screen is easily the biggest letdown.

      with OLED panels often available at this price or slightly more, I don't know why would anyone do this to themselves in 2025

  • mrkorrupt on 10/03/2025 - 20:45

    USB C port is DATA ONLY, also might have a SATA bay inside

    • overthinking on 11/03/2025 - 11:46

      Just to confirm, you're implying I'd be unable to connect this device to a usb-c monitor?

      • Knightchampion on 11/03/2025 - 16:15

        Pretty sure he meant you cannot charge through the usb C port. Pretty sure you can still connect a usb c monitor to it.

  • smartProverble on 11/03/2025 - 10:27

    What's wrong with acer?

    The worst i've had was a HP with Hinge Problems.

    Acer also had HP, but among the reputable brands, you can't beat acer on price/value.

      It had a bad reputation ages ago, but I've worked with a ton of different laptops from the big brands and acer is nowhere near the highest in terms of failure rates, that honour goes to Asus and HP at roughly an equal number of failed models. Lenovo and Acer seems to survive the longest but Lenovo's housing and keys seem to be more durable. Dell's and surfaces are next down in the list but more failed boards than Lenovo and Acer.

      I can't speak to lg or Samsung I've only worked on a single Samsung and it only had a failed SSD, and never been hands on with LG.

      Clevo, razor and MSI gaming all seem to fail quickly but I've only dealt with a handful so might be unlucky.
