    Great for any PC user ready to venture into Win 8
    5
    Posted by: from Ocala, FL on 03/30/2013After a little over a month of ownership, a Microsoft upgrade caused major problems such as no Network/Internet and no System Restore. Otherwise, I would have tried to repair it myself. So Best Buy Geeks fixed it via Acer warranty. I am a "happy camper"!

    Great Laptop value
    5
    Posted by: from Penfield, NY on 03/30/2013I've had this Laptop for about 3 weeks now and really have no complaints so far. Relative to my 1 year old Dell Inspiron running Windows 7 at work this is way faster and display much better. (But I don't know how fair a comparison this is as I don't know cost of the Dell) Had similar problems as others with adapting to Window8 but now if given the choice of switching back to Windows7 or XP I'd chose to stick with 8. I now view it as an improvement.

    It's a Beautiful Thing
    5
    Posted by: from Michigan on 03/30/2013After buying a hp from walmart for what I thought was a steal and having it completely crash barely a year later, I wanted to go back to trusty old Acer. My first Acer is 7 years old and still runs very well but I wanted something sleeker, little smaller (my old one is over 17 inches), and more up to date. I did a lot of research before deciding on this one. The only thing that really bugs me is that I use mine for writing and the space bar doesn't really work on the far right side--which, of course, is where I always hit it. Also, I am used to Windows XP and I find with Windows 8, other screens keep popping up all the time while I am trying to work. I don't know if I am bumping the mouse pad while writing or what but it is super annoying. And the mouse pad doesn't seem to have the side scroll feature where you simply side your finger up or down the side of the pad to scroll up or down. I miss that. I recommend getting a wireless mouse if you're going to be writing a lot. Otherwise, I have no complaints after over a month of having it.

    Great but a bit noisy
    4
    Posted by: from Buenos Aires, Argentina on 03/29/2013This laptop is great, its has all the things that someone could need. It made of stainless steel or aluminion but looks like as stainless. It's size is great, the screen its very clear and the keyboard has beautifull backlight. Also has a incredible sorround sound system. the only thing I don like is that the fan cooler is a bit noisy and start and stop all the time, but you can stand with that by the time.

    Great computer for the price
    5
    Posted by: from Chicago on 03/27/2013After the initial bug with the wireless internet is fixed (upon registering the product with Acer) this computer has been great for the money. It is fast enough to do everything that I use it for and I have had very little issues switching to Windows 8. I use it for basic computing and basic gaming. If you are a hard core gamer, this probably isn't for you but it has been perfect for me.

    Good buy

    Posted by: from East coast on 03/25/2013lovely design. I wish, the display was better quality, colors are little washed out. It's a problem with a most budget laptops. The speed is pretty good, and the 20 Gb of SSD helps a lot. There is practical no manual, I still don't know how to set the Bluetooth

    Posted by: from Yuma, AZ on 03/24/2013Keyboard skips letters and does all kinds of odd stuff. I was very disappointed about that and can't fix it. Haste to send it in and lose it for weeks, just got it!

    No Windows 8 would get higher rating
    3
    Posted by: from Colorado Springs, CO on 03/22/2013If it wasn't for Windows 8, Microsoft Office not being installed like it used to be, and having pre-installed games like solitaire and chess, I think this computer would be a great computer. Also because of Windows 8 nothing is compatible to download and the Flash Player doesn't work right either. Another problem is the touchpad for the mouse it's so touchy that you could be typing and it'll move your cursor to another section just by barely skimming it with your thumb on accident.
