This item is gorgeous. It has many features that other laptops do not have for the price existing. But, I am not tech savy and unless you are, this machine ships with NO user guide and a user has NO way of knowing they MUST make THEIR OWN backup disc BEFORE making changes to innumerable programs. I was extremely disappointed with the item for these reasons and more. Another one is that Acer DOES NOT provide 24hr Tech support telephone service. I had to search the internet to get a telephone number for Acer. Gorgeous – yes, a excellent long term investment for my money – NO. This is my opinion. I need a product from a companionship that provides 24/7 support whatever the cost. Acer executives making decisions need to revisit their choice to cut costs by eliminating user manuals, logic backup discs and 24/7 telephone support. Shame on you Acer. I had a Gateway machine for years. I will NEVER buy an Acer product again.
I received my laptop on 1/4/10 and at first I really liked it, but I tried to turn it on tonight and it wouldn’t boot up. I contacted Acer Support and they told me the hard drive needs to be replaced and I need to send the laptop back to them for warranty repairs. Well I hope repairs are covered, it’s only been 2 weeks! I’m not very pleased with the quality of this product and I can’t believe it’s broken after 2 weeks of limited use – I don’t even have anything loaded yet, and so far all I’ve been doing is surfing the Internet. I also have to locate a place where I can send the package from because FedEx won’t come to my household. The person at Acer Support acted like she was doing me a huge favor because they gave me a drop off number and I won’t have to pay for shipping in either direction – huge deal just give me a laptop that doesn’t break after 2 weeks. The estimated repair calculate is 8-10 business days after they receive my laptop. I’m very disappointed right now.
I tested this on the shop floor. I was evaluating if it is valuable to have touch-screen. Click Windows start menu by touching on the screen, fantastic! But most of the stuff on the screen is small and touch does not get to the right place. I had detailed view for Windows Explorer and could not select the right file in some five tries. Could not click “Bold” in MS Word 2007 without several tries.
Zooming in and out on images on the other hand was fantastic with the touch screen — since that does not require precision for where exactly you touch.
On the other hand, if the laptop has multi-touch on the touch-pad, it is just as excellent for zooming in and out of images.
I cannot rate the item overall since I have not tested any other piece (but logic is forcing me to assign one).
This develop is a fine laptop computing-wise, but so are many these days. Yes, overall I am somewhat pleased, but there are 2 things you might want to know. 1.) There is no Bluetooth. You will find Bluetooth 2.0 specified in every review but it is a lie. Yes there is a brightly lit BT button conveniently located on the deck. But pressing it activates nothing; it brings up a BT logo with a huge red “not installed” ‘X’ through it. The lack of BT in hardware, not software, was finally confirmed by ACER customer support after several emails. I found this falshood to be total ACER Ad-man ignorance at best, or at worst, blatant fake advertising. 2.) The Win7 Touchscreen is cute, but adds Zero functionality beyond what ancient hackers can do with a mouse. If it’s your first computer, you might like it. If you’ve been on these things for years it may just be irritating. All it adds is the opportunity for everyone else to try touching it to see what it does, which means you’ll have fingerprint smudges all over your show, all the calculate. That is something it certainly doesn’t need, becuase the resolution is by now blurry, with poor definition, poor contrast, distinguished-reflection, and a quirky 16:9 orientation that by defaulting compresses any documents you vertically scroll into microfilm fonts. “So Dude, change your font!” Honest enough: But then all the windows aspects and deskcop icons are blind-people huge and vertically truncated. I would recommend this as a desktop replacement only if you hook it into a larger, better monitor. So get the develop sans-Touch and save a buck. Keyboard – fantastic. USB’s both sides – Fantastic. Take in latch – needs 2 hands unless you’re an accomplished magician. ACER email response was swift. Standing also to Amazon – laptop arrived smashed. With no hassles they had a replacement shipped next-day based on 1 email I sent before I even returned the first one. I would certainly trust Amazon for electronics buys, no matter what you buy.
Perfect mass for a laptop. For traveling I would want something a bit smaller. The visuals are crisp, the touchscreen is fantastic for playing games, scrolling though items. Simple to use, nice keyboard with full numbers on the side. It seems larger than 15.6″. No problems with Window 7 (yet). Would recommend this computer…I had gone on Consumer Reports which recommended this develop in the mass, and price range. The Touch screen wasn’t the sell for me..but it is nice.
The shipping was dreadful! The computer itself was in its own box but it had been thrown into a larger box for shipping with some loose paper. It was loose, shifting I’m sure in the process. No hurt though.
