Costumer Reviews
For the price, this laptop is tough to beat. I can't speak for the bloatware referenced for other Acer laptops, as I immediately reloaded it with Windows 7 Pro from my Action Pack. The screen is of the glossy variety and is quite bright. Colors seem vibrant, the viewing angles are decent, and the one I received had no dead pixels. Overall, I like the feel of the laptop; it is fairly light, but in spite of that feels sturdy enough. There is no perceivable flex, and the lid moves firmly and smoothly. I particularly like the finish of the shell's plastic and the chiclet keyboard. I originally thought that the offset touch-pad (due to the 10-key presumably) would aggravate me, but it doesn't. Touch-pad response is quite good, though the button takes a bit more pressure compared to others. Noise levels are very low, and heat does not seem to be an issue so far. I will update with WEI scores when I can and any additional observations as it gets more use. For a general laptop (home use), I can't really see having made a better choice.
As for the four-star review, no one ever gets the max rating from me, so don't let the loss of a star deter you from giving this laptop a whirl.
(Update) WEI scores are as follows:
Processor: 6.9
Memory: 5.9
Graphics: 3.5
Gaming graphics: 5.2
Hard disk: 5.8
Scored on a fresh load of Windows 7 Pro (x64) with no additional software loaded.
(Final Update) After using it for a while, probably the least liked component is going to be the screen, which became a bit washed out after I settled in for an extended use. So, I loaded up the "AMD Vision Engine Control" software and dropped the gamma to 0.5, which markedly improved the appearance. For the money, however, I still have zero complaints and highly recommend this laptop for general use. I was even able to finally play the Amnesia demo, something which I had not been able to do on my old clunkers. It wasn't blazing through the frames, but it was at least playable.
The only bad thing about this computer is sound is not loud enough. For having just one speaker it is studio quality sound. With headphones it sounds great. No big deal to hook up speakers. If you talk on skype, headphones are a necessity. It comes with loads of stuff like Speech Recognition that really works, acer games free, great pictures, and etc. The quad processor is super fast, haven't been able to bog it down much. Graphics/screen is the best quality I have seen. It takes 5 dvds to backup system, 2 hours, and really easy. You just type your name in and burn 5 dvds and of course customizing and your good to go. Acer has fixed most common problems with computers. This does not get hot at all. For the features and the price, good luck finding one better. I have researched all of them, this is the way to go. The Toshiba and Sony Vaio where the others that came close, but no cigar. The Sony will break down. Believe me when i said i researched everywhere. Also I know what all the computer specifications mean. Led backlit, energy star, hd web cam, DVD ROM, around 3 hours of hard run time in battery, I like my optical mouse, but the pad is like any other and I think it is better than others. AMD is getting better than intel now, you can barely hear the computer run, excellant range on wifi, the ease of use this provides is great!
