    I wanted to wait to write this review until I had the laptop for awhile and I only have good things to say. For reference, I only use my laptop for normal web browsing, light word/excel work and casual gaming (have not tried any MMO or similar games). It is exactly everything I needed. The touch screen is a must have for me and works well. The keyboard is reactive and not as bad of a transition from a normal keyboard. It's plenty fast enough for my needs and has a decent battery life. It's easy to use and easy to set up. The screen quality is great and it's perfect size to stream a show or movie. Sound quality is good too. I'm obviously not someone who is super into computers, but I am a human being who uses the internet, likes entertainment, and has to check emails and edit excel sheets sometimes. I'm sure this thing does cool things I don't know about, but it was a value to me regardless. Also, it's blue and fits perfectly in my standard size backpack. Please enjoy the photo that the laptop took of my dog, Tilly. The TL:DR: Great laptop who the person who doesn't exactly know how much laptop they need, but knows they need a laptop.

    At 64 I do ok on the laptop. When I need to know how to do something I usually figure out how to do it. The Acer is great.

    I truly like this laptop. It has touch screen and the disk space is great. It is AMAZING. I love the ease of use. This thing talked to me to help me through setup. This thing is pretty fast. The battery lasts about 8 hours and that's me using it just about the whole time.

    I love this laptop. It's super simple to use and it was super simple to transfer all my data from my last laptop to this one. The screen resolution is great! It's relatively light, the touch screen works like a charm, and I know it's silly but i love the color too.

    Easy to use and setup! Fast! I've loaded all the office products plus and there is still room on the drive. The number keys are a little different but I've gotten use the them.. it does weigh some but I'll gladly live with that... And the power plug is a little undersized when it comes to handling and being robust.. but for the money, this laptop delivers! Worth considering..
