This model 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 big 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 false advertising. 2.) The Win7 Touchscreen is cute, but adds Zero functionality beyond what old 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 annoying. 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 display, all the time. That is something it definitely doesn't need, becuase the resolution is already blurry, with poor definition, poor contrast, high-reflection, and a quirky 16:9 orientation that by default compresses any documents you vertically scroll into microfilm fonts. "So Dude, change your font!" Fair enough: But then all the windows aspects and deskcop icons are blind-people big and vertically truncated. I would recommend this as a desktop replacement only if you hook it into a bigger, better monitor. So get the model sans-Touch and save a buck. Keyboard - great. USB's both sides - Great. Cover latch - needs 2 hands unless you're an accomplished magician. ACER email response was swift. Kudos 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 definitely trust Amazon for electronics purchases, no matter what you buy.

Perfect size for a laptop. For traveling I would want something a bit smaller. The visuals are crisp, the touchscreen is great for playing games, scrolling though items. Easy 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 onto Consumer Reports which recommended this model in the size, and price range. The Touch screen wasn't the sell for me..but it is nice.
The shipping was awful! 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 damage though.

I tested this on the shop floor. I was evaluating if it is worthwhile to have touch-screen. Click Windows start menu by touching on the screen, great! 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 great 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 good for zooming in and out of images.
I cannot rate the item overall since I have not tested any other piece (but system is forcing me to assign one).

Lots of features for the money. The touchscreen is a big bonus for me. Very fast.
My notebook also wouldn't boot some times.
I found that if you go into the BIOS setup and turn OFF the quick boot setting, it works fine.
I think the problem is that the computer tries to boot before the hard drive is ready. But that is just a guess.
Mine has been working fine for about 4 weeks since I changed the setting. I hope this helps other owners.

This item is beautiful. It has many features that other laptops do not have for the price offered. However, 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 create THEIR OWN backup disc BEFORE making changes to various 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. Beautiful - yes, a good long term investment for my money - NO. This is my opinion. I need a product from a company that provides 24/7 support whatever the cost. Acer executives making decisions need to revisit their decision to cut costs by eliminating user manuals, system 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.
