My basic 2021 Acer Aspire 5 @ $500 is much more than I could ever ask for. $500 got me a 500GB NVME, 8GB which I upgraded to 16GB with a 15.6 inch 1080 screen on a 11th gen 1135G7 CPU. Aside from gaming and major video editing, etc. Its all anyone needs in performance. Its amazing build quality with aluminum frame, keyboard is excellent. And it hit 5000 multi on Cinebench last night. The score was reproduced and it floored me to be honest. I would highly recommend it to anyone who isn't video editing or gaming.
