The 15.6-inch display has resolution of 1920\u00d71080, a blistering 300Hz refresh rate, and a 3ms response time, so competitive gamers will find a lot to like here.

It\u2019s packed with modern features like Wi-Fi 6, a backlit keyboard, and a fingerprint reader for biometric logins. Acer starts this laptop off with Windows 11 in S mode, but there\u2019s no reason not to do a one-way upgrade to full Windows 11.

Buy laptops with Intel <strong>11<\/strong>-series Core chips or higher, such as the Core i5-<strong>11<\/strong>510U, or the Core i7-<strong>12<\/strong>800H; or go with an AMD Ryzen processor (but <em>not<\/em> an AMD Athlon or A-series chip). Avoid laptops with Pentium or Celeron processors unless it\u2019s a Chromebook (running Chrome OS). You\u2019re going to need to pay attention with gaming laptops, too, as some GPUs, like the RTX 3050 Ti, don\u2019t offer much boost over their RTX 2xxx-series cousins, and Nvidia has dropped the Max-Q designation on certain low-power options. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/551001\/buying-a-laptop-look-for-pcs-with-these-cpus-and-gpus.html\">laptop CPU and GPU cheat sheet<\/a> can help you shop smart. <\/p>\n<p>Display resolution is a gotcha. If you see a laptop labeled as \u201cHD\u201d resolution that means 1366-by-768 and often isn\u2019t worth your time for a laptop under 13 inches unless the deal is absolutely standout. What you want is \u201cFull HD\u201d or \u201cFHD,\u201d which means 1080p. <\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t buy <em>laptops<\/em> with under 4GB of RAM or 128GB of SSD storage\u2014though on a Chromebook, this configuration is acceptable. We have more explanation in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/402141\/chromebooks-versus-windows-laptops-which-should-you-buy.html\">laptops versus Chromebooks buying guide<\/a>, as well as in our primer on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/549407\/how-to-buy-a-budget-laptop-without-getting-screwed.html\">how to buy a budget laptop without getting screwed<\/a>. Also watch out for eMMC storage, which is something we don\u2019t recommend for a Windows laptop but works fine for a Chromebook.<\/p>\n<p>Reviews can be helpful. Even if you can\u2019t find a review of a specific configuration, try related models. They\u2019ll often give you a good idea of the build quality and performance. Also buy from brands you trust. Amazon\u2019s daily laptop deals right now are full of brands we\u2019ve never tested or talked to (Broage, Teclast, DaySky, Jumper) and it\u2019s just a good idea to be wary.<\/p>\n<p>Most older laptops will run Windows 10, and that\u2019s fine\u2014there\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/539089\/why-we-recommend-you-skip-windows-11-for-now.html\">no rush to upgrade<\/a>.
