Question Acer computer

[Elaine@@@]

Hello, i just bought this. Hasn't arrived yet but i'm beginning to get the idea that i should return it and invest in a better quality product / brand. I am so confused. I teach online and use my computer a lot
ACER Aspire 5 A514-53 14" Laptop - Intel® Core™ i5, 256 GB SSD, Silver

Probably an okay, general use, laptop. Not good for gaming (likely not a concern as stated above). Acer is not the best brand out there, would not have been my first choice.

Still, it should meet most users' basic needs.

256GB of storage can get used up fairly quickly, especially if storing lots of multimedia files. Adding an external storage device might be a good idea, as well as acting as a backup solution.

Thanks for your advice. Do you have a suggestion? I use my laptop a lot, teaching around the world on various platforms
