I am in the process of purchasing the Acer Spin_3_SP314-51-32Z9, I have found it through the Acer site at MicroCenter.com for $360. You know what they say about if the deal sounds too good to be true.  I am opting for Intel_Core_i3-8130U_Processor_22GHz and wondering that would be fast enough for routine surfing, emails, excel, etc.  I do not game and I do not watch video on my computer. This computer gets mixed reviews most of which sound mechanical, crack screen, fan too loud, etc.  Also, computer seems to be on the heavy side for its size coming in at 3.5 pounds.  Anyone who has experience with this computer, I would welcome your comments. Also,  MicroCenter is offering it for less than $100 than other sites and they ensure me it is new.

    It'll be plenty fast enough. Most laptops get mixed reviews. Price looks good though. Go for it. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll get one worthy of a 5-star review.  No guarantees though.   :)   Jack E/NJ

    It's always a matter of balancing need with budget. I have stayed with i7s and have been really happy the performance. I would worry more about adequate memory, but that is easily upgraded if it's slow. Also and SSD really speeds things  up, also easily done if you need  better performance.
