Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this small laptop because it fits the TSA size restrictions and also because I really wanted something portable and I didn't need anything with a lot of bells and whistles. I also wasn't really interested in a laptop with touch screen features. This is a small, basic laptop that works great. Before I bought it I was a little concerned with some of the other reviews which mentioned slow operating speed and/or problems with the battery but I haven't had any issues. My large laptop has an i7 processor so naturally this is slower but I don't think it's all that slow and it works for the basic functions I wanted, namely internet and word processing. As for the battery, I followed the instructions that said to fully charge and discharge three times and I haven't had any problems. I also like the flat black finish.

Best Buy Associate worked with me to find a good second computer in Best Buy's extended inventory. This Acer TravelMate has an older processor (Celeron Quad Core N3160) but makes up for that with a solid state drive. Small and light, but broad capabilities.

Nothing fancy but simple reliable and does the job. Make sure you get at least 128 hard drive. For whatever reason, it fills up quickly with every win 10 update. Also, no useful pre-installed software just the usual set of junk apps they all have. Overall, enough bang for your buck.

Nice basic laptop. Best Buy indicated this item had a backlit keyboard which is not the case.

Purchased this laptop for nursing school. To utilize the simple programs like Microsoft word, chrome, and internet explorer. Works great, just a little slow at times.

easy to use, size is great, color is pleasant, and does all I need it to do

I didn't require much out of a new laptop for writing, basically just a typewriter that could connect to Wikipedia, Google Drive and Google Earth. This machine fit the bill perfectly. Its small size makes it perfect for the inner pocket of my messenger bag and for travelling. I have no regrets except that five days after I bought it the price suddenly dropped $50. LOL

I was looking for a compact travel laptop to cam and stream video. For the most part this laptop does the job but occasionally lags on video.

I love my new laptop has all the features that I need. It is perfect.

Boots fast, screen is sharp enough & battery lasts ~8 hrs for me before needing a charge - for the price I'm very happy

My spouse needed to replace her laptop and this one fit the bill. It works great, I wish we had gotten one with a touch screen.

This is a nice little machine, BUT it was advertised with a backlit keyboard, a substantial part of why I made the purchase. After speaking with BB support to figure out how to enable the backlighting (they couldn't) they referred me to the manufacturer, Acer. When I furnished them with the model and serial #, they confirmed THE KEYBOARD ON THIS MODEL IS NOT BACKLIT. Between ordering, trying to figure out how to enable the backlight function, three calls to BB and a call to Acer. I wasted five hours of my time, not to mention the aggravation.
