Was great, until it died
|Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Features
Quality1 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This laptop was exactly what I needed; a cheap desktop alternative that could still handle some games. Being recertified it only holds a 90 day warranty, I didn't think much of this because I am an IT Director and have bought thousands of recertified computers and components and have never had an issue, until last night. Right in the middle of using it, it shut off and won't come back on, I'd had the laptop for 104 days at this point. So now I get to pay for costly repairs or just buy a new laptop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendFeatures

Beware Keyboard issues with this model
Posted .Features
Quality1 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use1 out of 5Beware of Keyboard issues with this model. Recently bought 10 of the, of the 10 , five were returned due to defective keyboards right out of the box. To add insult to injury, the power button is in the keyboard, so you cant use an external keyboard as a work around if the power key fails, Which it did on 3 of these. Just sayin.... Other than that when it works, if it keeps working its a nice laptop, EPIC FAIL ON THE KEYBOARD THOUGH

Great System for the price
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:PriceSo far this computer is working great. The performance is really good and I get good fps on all games I have loaded on the system. The only issue I had was with the missing HDD kit. I contacted ACER Recertified and informed me that the kit wasn't included with refurbished units due to the warranty stating that "The warranty states that any modifications made to the unit will make it nullified." They told me to refer to the warranty paperwork provided with the unit (The paperwork was missing as well). It was not disclosed on the BestBuy product description that this was not a complete product. As far as I know, adding a hard drive to a computer is not considered a modification, it is an upgrade. This computer is upgradable. It defeats the purpose of its upgradability if we are being told that warranty is nullified if we proceed to do so. The bottom line is this: This is a great system for the money but Acer's position about their warranty being voided because of an upgrade seems to be inaccurate. I am rating here the product but I don't feel comfortable recommending it based on the warranty issue and the missing part.
