What's a good price for the Acer SFG16-A71T-R5UY?
The lowest price we've recorded is $649.99 on Oct 26, 2026. Our rubric says a price at the bottom of an item's history, and not one that pops up every week, can earn an A or a B, so $649.99 or less is the price to look for. The highest we've recorded is $749.99 on Sep 22, 2026. Our rubric gives a price above an item's usual range a D or an F, and anything over $749.99 is above every price we've recorded.
The grade also weighs what other stores charge and who's selling it. How we grade.
