After opening it up I suspect it's the wifi card antenna...I'm no expert at all but the 2 antenna don't look very impressive, especially after seeing this:

I'm not good at electronics diy, but I'm tempted to buy new wifi antennas and install or if anyone know someone who's good with a soldering iron, please share details.

There was a wifi driver update a few days ago, new driver is 10.0.0.315, through windows update.

Also, try different router settings as some gadgets are more sensitive than others of course. I found 40mhz works well.

I'm facing similar problems.
I think there are some driver stability issues.
Try and run the Windows Troubleshooter to fix issues.
There's some discussion in the official Acer support forums, but no solution.

It's good advice to go to a shop and try.
If you want a review, this is a good one:

It's an unusual design which suits me (I wished others copied the design).

It's very stable on the lap (and cool as the heat is behind the screen) and I like the keyboard and nipple after making it more sensitive. Acer actually replaced a keyboard I had as there was an issue and I'm scared if this happens out of warranty.

It's nice to put the screen on some books so that it is eye-level when working on a desk as the keyboard is detachable.

I have a similar use case as you and find performance to be fine.
Considerations for your use case could be screen size - you may prefer a bigger full hd screen?

Easy to open the case and update the ssd (but 128gb is enough). I didn't try updating the wifi card and/or antenna yet, but should be easy for someone familiar with these things.

Pen quality is good if you use it.
