Pros over the Lenovo one:
- Faster CPU
- touchscreen
- double the storage
- OS updates until 2029 (compared to 2026 for Lenovo one)

I ended up buying this one for $289 yesterday from staples ($299 - $10 coupon)

That's a good one too if you don't need the touchscreen and it costs $40 less. The specs are similar to the one I posted except the OS updates for your model ends in 2026, but that might not be a concern for you.

So we opened up the acer I got from staples and to our surprise it’s a touchscreen! Bonus!
