    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..

    It's a super fast computer that actually runs smoothly. It has great storage too. The one issue was that its driver needed to be updated, but it worked great after I did that. The battery made me nervous at first because it died after it's first charge within one hour. I think it just needed to be filled and emptied one complete time. It now holds its charge for hours.

    I've been surprised how much I like this laptop. Every time I've bought a new laptop that didn't cost an arm and a leg, I've found myself regretting that decision. So far, this purchase has been well worth it. It's fast, sleek, and although I didn't think I would, I really enjoy the touch screen. So far, this has been a great addition to my work and personal life. I haven't tried it for gaming, so I can't speak to that, but it's been great for general work and/or school use. And the battery has been exceptional so far!

    So far, I love this laptop! I am now retired and no longer need a super-powered laptop. This laptop replaces an 11-year old ASUS and meets all my current needs for internet searches, e-mails, videos, basic documents and spreadsheets. It's light-weight and I love the touchscreen feature. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because I resent having to pay for Microsoft office, which I didn't have to do with my old laptop, but that's not a reflection of the laptop itself.

    Bought this as a birthday gift for my niece. She is over the moon with her Aspire 3 Laptop. The Aspire 3 has great speed for surfing the internet with good graphics. My niece plays video games and also wil be doing projects on it for school. The battery life is really good. I just wish it had dual screens and backlight for the keyboard. I recommend buying the Aspire 3 .

    This is a great buy for the price. Im in nursing school and I needed a laptop for class and studying. The touchscreen is awesome! Ive never had that feature before so having that with stuyding helps a lot. The Acer software is also good. It comes stock and had a lot of nice applications, for example battery optimization. I suggest heavily to buy this if you need something realiable for an afordable price.

    I have enjoyed the speed, display, and battery life of this laptop. The bonus sleeve it came with has been useful. It's a nice color blue, too. So far I do not have any regrets about this purchase and would highly recommend it for basic, everyday use.

    The Aspire 3 is a very good computer at this price point. It meets my needs wonderfully. Good for a college student or someone with general needs. I suppose it's basic for the techie, but this is a solid machine.

    Acer Aspire 3 looks good in blue and the processor works quick and dose not get hot. I like the touchscreen display and Acer Sense app which has blue light shield to protect you eyes and make the screen look good in all angles. I would recommend this laptop only on sale because memory is only 8 GB non upgradable.

    Nice functional computer. Very light and it came with a laptop sleeve. I use it for school so it’s very nice. I like the number keyboard is but in. Although the zero is placed differently than I would like. Other than that very fast, good graphics and sound.
