Long battery life. Good form factor. I know I am in a shrinking minority, but modern the modern windows OS is spyware that harvests the entirety of your digital life and butchers it up for sale (default use of OneDrive - required activation).To avoid that, I installed Linux. The "AI" chips can take a nap until native support comes in later iterations, but the CPU is up to the task. It took a little BIOS tinkering, and after I arm wrestled the partitions away from Window's bit locker, I am left with a secure, fast, and wonderful laptop.Windows deserves -27 stars. But Acer, for the quality of the machine, deserves the full five. It is solid with a tight quiet chassis. The screen is pleasant enough and bright when needs be. The keys are crisp with a pleasant backlight. But the feature I adore most is the battery life. I have had many laptops, and they have all disappointed me in terms of battery life. Yet this has broken the streak of disappointments. Even with aggressive installations and tinkering, it has remained at a healthy percentage for longer than I would have guessed. A pleasant surprise, to be sure.Please know this is not a gaming laptop. I bought this for basic computering tasks and not for ray tracing and online dopamine hits in whatever game is in vogue with spotted teenagers. So if you want a computer for basic computer tasks (word processing, web surfing, multimedia whatnots), this is a solid choice. If you want a laptop for gaming, reconsider. But know this carries my discerning approval.Cheers!

Excellent value in a right sized laptop for mobile use. After owning many laptops personally over the years, this Acer 14AI is one of the best I have used in recent memory, including an older Apple MacBook Pro 13.While I am not a big fan of MS Copilot or other AI specific designs (I’m old school), this runs quickly with several demanding programs installed, like MS Office 365 and Adobe Acrobat. And has the features that make it easy to use. Just uninstall the bloatware commonly added by manufacturers these days first.Easily runs over 15 hours on battery with normal productivity and browsing use and has a nice keyboard, although not as good as Lenovo Thinkpads. Screen is just fine and not as bad as some reviews make it out to be.While retired now, 35 years professional experience as a design engineer and IT manager in industry.
