Happy with purchase

Very happy with the purchase. Great value for money. It's fast, has a nice screen. It's light weight and thin. I don't use it for games, just internet and documents. Only negative, which isn't a problem for me, is the battery life isn't great. I go 6-7 hours on a charge. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Dead In Under Two Years

I was a die hard Acer consumer until I bought this computer and 1 yr 10 months later it went belly up. While it was running it was wonderful! Very nice keyboard, decent screen, processor, etc. Bit after leaving the computer to run a Windows update (plugged in), I came back to find the screen was black. Repair pros say the mother board was fried. It only takes one experience like this. It's a pity because my last Acer is still going strong at 7 years and I was shopping for two more high end Creator laptops just before this happened.

Great budget laptop!

I bought one of these years ago and they're a great deal. I've never wanted for anything on it. I'm a pretty standard user, internet browsers and Microsoft Office, but an advanced user of Excel.

Speakers?

So far the computer has worked great. Not thing that kept it from 5 stars is the speakers. They're really bad. Like I don't care much about quality of sound, but these are not loud either. My brothers phone has louder speakers. Other than that works good and keyboard is nice.

Recommend this laptop

So far, it's great. Keys are square in a cushioney material that make typing very comfortable. It's more solidly constructed than the Acer I had. The only negative is that the power cord is shorter than the Acer Windows 7 I had to replace because Win 7 support is ending soon.
