I am thinking about buying a new laptop for normal web surfing, music playback and streaming YouTube Premium.

Is the Acer Aspire 3 good for long term purchase?

whats your budget tho, the things you mentioned can even be done on a entry level tablet

Less than RM2,000

I would personally recommend Asus laptops. Better quality.

if you dont mind chinese laptop

using asus oled, besides the oled panel, everything else seems subpar compare to lenovo, hp, dell

AMD processors... LOL! Looks good on specs, but when it comes to driver compatibility with W11, it's the worst.
Not to mention damn laggy when it goes into power saving mode vs. Intel.

Looking at Asus laptop now.

So I better buy Intel laptops?

Yes, I recommend Intel laptops. I'm using AMD one right now, really having a lot of compatibility issues.
7.7 today, so you should be able to find some great bargains.

All my laptops are AMD (except for 1 desktop gaming). No issue with software dev work, video encoding and drivers so far.

Why not consider tablet instead?

ipad pro used..

Actually I bought the laptop already, my number 1 reason was because of the colour in "Electric Blue".

I do not want a tablet as I want a device which a physical keyboard attached to it. Thanks for all the recommendations!

wow this is a steal, next time have to keep watch on all these LOL
