    So far I can't find the Acer Aspire premium laptop anywhere else, even
    at acer.com/us-en/laptops! Is premium just some Amazon advertizing
    word and they don't say what the model is? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D63QRTTK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2HR3WADFB8IU9&psc=1

    I wanted to find out how much it weighs, but now I also wonder why it's
    so hard to find.

    And what is a WOWPC bundle that's supposed to be included but wasn't in
    one review? Is that world of warcraft? That's all that google came
    up with. Oh, searching the ad for WOW, I see that that is the vendor.
    It's neither sold nor shipped by Amazon. No wonder it doesn't use a
    real model name. Is this a red flag? A disqualifying red flag?

    Would you bothter to look at the vendor's review page?

    Oydisen WOWPC gets 85% positive in the last 12 months. https://www.amazon.com/sp?ie=UTF8&seller=A2HR3WADFB8IU9&asin=B0D63QRTTK&ref_=dp_merchant_link

    Personal preference...
    I like Lenovo Thinkpads. I use an old Thinkpad and a newer one every
    day for work, 6-7 days per week, often at remote locations. They are
    durable. They are easily repairable by me. Parts and diagrams are
    readily available. They have mouse buttons at the track pad and a
    little red cursor mover button. Acer does not have mouse buttons at the
    track pad or the mouse mover button. For those reasons I would never
    buy an Acer. An Acer might be ok for someone that sits at a desk all
    day, has an actual mouse, and never needs to take the laptop anywhere,
    but that is not for me.
