Bought as replacement for old laptop. This Acer is my second Acer laptop purchase in the past 3 years.
This is a large laptop best used on a desktop or lap at home. I've been very happy with the Acer reliability and quality vs. price. My older Acer has been upgraded and is functioning perfectly. This model has the full key board with the full number key pad on the right side, making its width extra wide, and not easily transported. There is only one thing that I dislike about this computer, and that is the keyboard. Its flat surface makes it very difficult for word processing, because my fingers often slip off the proper keys which makes extremely annoying for word processing, at least for me.

This laptop is a Gem. It's a huge improvement over my 8 year old dell desktop.I have a digital SLR camera and the dell would always lock up while working with pictures, I guess because of the file size, but this acer handles them easily.

This laptop is good. I recommended uninstalling some of the installed software. The computer is a good speed for the stuff I do. I would not suggest it for games but for internet, work, and other stuff it's very good.

I really liked this laptop. It is relatively light weight and looks appealing. Initial installation was easy and without any issues. It was easy to create backup DVDs on the first go. In contrast a bought a $1300 Dell XPS 17 and I couldn't create system backup DVD due to software problem. (A softwate update resolved the issue). I got a passmarks benchmark of 857.
