    Great Price for the Capacity!!

    By Indy Brick

    from Texas

    Verified Reviewer

    The Capacity of this laptop is really good for the price; I couldn't find any other laptop with the same features for a low price. There are a couple of useless programs but I guess all Windows PCs have them (I just deleted them). The fan is a bit loud but it does its job. I liked the color but would've like to see more colors on this laptop to choose on. I use this Laptop for College and as far as efficiency and durability everything is just perfect .Haven't had any problem with it.

    Fair Deal

    By thegoodword

    from Boise

    Verified Buyer

    Pros

    • Cool blue chassis
    • Great bang for buck
    • Lightweight
    • Nice screen

    Cons

    • Acer logo
    • Acer quality control
    • Pre-loaded garbage softwa

    Best Uses

    • Home use
    • Surfing the net

    The blue shell is nice although it picks up finger prints very easily. The speed of the computer is decent but the laptop does build a little heat. An Intel processor would have been a better choice for a cooler running computer. The fan is very loud! The Dolby speakers are a selling point but they are still low-quality laptop speakers. Acer should stop putting all the garbage software on the desktop. It is just one more thing that the user has to delete.

    Excellent Laptop though it does get warm

    By jlcjohn89

    from Virginia Beach,VA

    Verified Reviewer

    Pros

    • Dependable
    • Fast
    • Rather Light

    Cons

    • Bloatware
    • Heating
    • Keyboard keys stick
    • Response time

    Best Uses

    • Business

    I needed a laptop for my current business solutions, this laptop is excellent for presentation and everyday tasks, though I do not heavily use it for productivity, since I have a desktop to handle the heavy duty applications and web design. I would not recommend this as a desktop replacement. Though to make a warning that this laptop does contain a slew of applications that are easily removable when you receive it. WINDOWS 7 FREE!!! so you really can not go wrong with this laptop...
