I had the x-32 (N5000) for 3 years and the left corner screw broke. I loved it so much (fanless!) that I bought this current x-34 (N6000) for $229 Acer website Dec 2022, dual-booting W11 and Linux Mint (just assign 8gb swap file to alleviate the 4gb soldered RAM) on WD Green SSD 1TB for $59.99 (Dec 2022), so cheap to care about swap "shortening" SSD life. Swift 1 made by Lenovo would be a dream.

Got one of these a few years ago and it was a thin aluminum chassis and I just saw this model today in a shop--one with the N5100 chip-- and it felt metallic for sure. Are you certain it's plastic? Thanks for the detailed overview. This notebook certainly does offer a lot for the price.

Did you keep it or sell it? I’m picking one up today from John Lewis in the U.K. As a JL member they gave us a big discount to make it £216 and with a 2 year guarantee and, as you say, a one year office licence. The case is all metal (aluminium) according to Acer and John Lewis. The screen is 250 which is good for the money given an early 2015 MBP retina is only 300. The SSD can be replaced. There is a video online where the reviewer put a fast 1TB SSD in. I’m off on a business trip combined with a bit of R&R and needed a very cheap ‘access port’ to my high end office work station (16 gb, i7, good graphics card). Hence having a good HD screen, decent battery life and the capability to drive a second portable HD screen (brilliant Asus M16 AC which is also IPS working from USB and weighs only .8kg) is important, as well as a bit of off line editing of a major presentation I need to deliver. So for me a fast Wi-Fi card a good keyboard and clear screen are the major factors. I was originally planning to take my new MBP13 from work but that cost 10 times more and I’d be unhappy leaving it in the boot of a hire car or 6 hotel rooms over 2 weeks. So for me, as a dummy workstation, it looks ideal. There is nothing close for the money. My work also uses full on MS Office online so any PC and screen works with that. Horses for courses as they say. UPDATE - Now set it up. Screen is excellent and doesn't reflect unlike lots of glassy looking IPS panels. Keyboard is great and it works well with the Asus 15.6 inch external. As its the same resolution the external is far clearer in its native resolution (same as Acer) that with my MBP.

I actually have an HP laptop with the same CPU, 8 gigs of ram and a 256GB SSD. If I could describe the experience with one word, that word would be "frustrating". I'm not sure if it has a problem, but the processor loves to throttle to terrible clock speeds (405 megahertz is a number I often see in HWMonitor) with just Chrome open for whatever reason. I'm not sure if it is the processor's fault (doubt it) or the laptop's design. Also 1.1 gigahertz (base speed) is slow enough, let alone 400 megahertz (I have even seen it as low as 340 megahertz)

N4500 is really good that any AMD in that category, and pretty good integrated GPU. But 4gb is way too low. Will be fine for VScode, C, C++, COBOL, and python programming. But forget Androids Studio, Unity3D, and heavy things like that. Also, for Java programming not so good. Java and Java programming tools, JDK, JVM, JRE, IDEs... are very heavy on hardware. I would recommend some modern CPU like i5-1135g7 with integrated Intel Xe Iris gpu, NVME, and at least 8gb of RAM, but 16gb very recommended. The screen, at least 1080p IPS, and if you can, without low frequency PWM brightness regulation (DC dimming is the best), it will be easier for your eyes. The screen size, depends of how far or close the screen from your eyes.
