Creators/Multimedia and soldered 16GB RAM don't mix well.

Such cooling and $1200 price tag. Meh.

Acer continues manufacturing garbage.
1080p screen at 60HZ horrible deltaE, 4-core old CPU, soldered RAM.
Evrything in this laptop could be fine, but for 800$, not 1200$.
Compare this to Lenovo Ideapad pro 16 inch.
120HZ qhd 16:10, 6cores zen3, and same 3050.
All of that under 1200$.
And its build quality could be even better.

Creators/Multimedia and soldered 16GB RAM don't mix well.

Yeah, "Multimedia" is kinda an old term. In the first place this is an Office-Notebook but with a low-spec RTX3050 for rather undmanding creator tasks and more for media-consumption with light gaming.

But either way the price tag is horrible on this. In Germany it is on sale for ~ 825 Euro though.

Compare this to Lenovo Ideapad pro 16 inch. 120HZ qhd 16:10, 6cores zen3, and same 3050. All of that under 1200$.

At least in Germany you get the IdeaPad 5 Pro 16 with EIGHT Cores & same GPU for 999 Euro!

Guys, what fo you think? This laptop for 950€?

I would prefer some 16gb RAM, with dedicated graphics and sleek design for travels and business a occasional video/pic editing for 800€ but not sure, if there are some :D
