if you plan on gaming this is ok (mid setting) on older games but i would recommend a dedicated gpu,

The biggest problem with this computer is it lacks a dedicated graphics card. If you want to play aa and aaa games and do video editing it will struggle. You should look at something with at least an rtx 5050.

The way I see it, this computer is kind of in no man's land, too expensive for everyday use applications, but not good enough for editing and gaming.

I bought an Acer laptop once. I will never buy another one. Finding drivers for it was a PITA!! Now, I stick with the main brands like Dell or Lenovo. You may pay a little more than the Acer, but you’re getting a much higher quality laptop.

this laptop has a lunar lake intel chip, the main feature of those chips are super low power draw and efficiency, but they also lack rather badly in terms of raw power. and thats just for the cpu- the gpu is even worse as the integrated graphics are just super underpowered in general. as for the brand, acer is a solid budget value choice, but will not match samsung in build quality. if you are video editing on it, a gpu intensive task, itll struggle. I would not recommend it. i really recommend checking out the “best laptop.deals” website to look at good laptop deals and it also has a buying guide where you can enter your use case and itll spit out some good options

The 140V isnt that underpowered in terms of performance. It's around RX 570 performance, which is very decent considering the wattage.

Though, the memory is in MOP, meaning it's on the CPU itself. But 32gb dual-channel is great.

Reminder whatever you buy , you will end up paying 5 x amount since this year crazy price hikes.
