I’m not a techie so I wont write a technical review. From a purely layperson perscpective this is goes down as one of my most regrettable purchases, right up there with the Ford Fiesta.

I only wish I would have returned it but Best Buy gives you a measly 14 days for a refund and since it takes about that long for a non-techie to figure out that it is the pc and not you – well I’m stuck with this piece of crap.

I cant tell you how many times I’ve gotten the blue screen of death, it started almost immediately and crashes all the time. It happens so often that it doesnt scare me anymore. Its got issues with the sticky keys, the right/ left clicking, and now the left clicker completely broke. I turned it on today and the left click key is just kinda stuck in “clicked” mode. I certainly didnt mash it last night when i turned it off so what happened? Evil left-clicker gremlins attacked it in the night?

I have never had so many problems, continuously, with any other laptop – I got my 1st Mac notebook in 1992 – I’ve had at least 5 since then, plus the ones I’ve used at work. I will never buy an acer again, and unless you can work on it yourself, I would suggest you go with HP, Dell, or one of the other standards. they may not be perfect but at least they werent as bad as this!

When i opened the box i was like ‘WOW GREAT PC”, after a few minutes i said “SH….T”, the computer came with a dead pixel (a yellow line from the top to the bottom). It gave me problems when i attempted to make my back up D VD’s, it didn’t let me do them, every time i tried to do it it didn’t allowed me to start. It also got stuck running 3 programs at a time, computer keep’s getting frozen!

ADVICE: don’t purchase this computer, it will give problems no matter what!

This is absolutely the worst computer I’ve ever owned. I purchased this computer in September and in less than a week it was freezing up and crashing. At this point I was browsing my email and not too much more. I have had lengthy conversations with many people in India who are like robots and only have the one answer they are given on a script sheet and not too much more. I also had to go out and buy an external hard drive to perform a system restore that will wipe out your hard drive. I bought the computer after reading several reviews that raved about customer service and how Acer is the old Gateway and the cust. svc is excellent. On top of the svc people not knowing how to do much of anything you have to go thru the same procedures every time before you get to a new procedure (that doesn’t work). It’s now November and after fighting with tech support, level 1, 2 and 3 (level 2 and 3 are in America and actually level 3 was the rudest of all people I’ve dealt with) I have to pay for the shipping to Texas. They will have my computer for 7-10 business days on top of the 3-5 shipping each way. I am now looking at a minimum of 13 business days without my computer which is forever in the business world! So, in sum, I bought the Acer thinking it was the latest and greatest and I’ve had to spend additional $ because the computer didn’t work out of the box for an external, spent hours on the phone with tech support going in circles and now have to spend my money to send it to Texas for them to fix where they swear up and down it will be perfect when I get it back. (because why should it have been perfect out of the box brand new!)

BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY ACER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bought this laptop about 4 months ago, at first it worked like a charm; quiet and all. Now, the cooling system makes so much noise, i feel like it’s going to explode. i know the cooling system improves the battery life, but why does it have to kill my buzz when i’m using it. my colleagues constantly laugh at the noise it makes, mostly cause i kinda got the laptop for a hell of a deal(i bragged a lot). I’ve been trying to get acer to finish a 3 week conversation I’ve been having with them; literally. they said no one else has complained about this problem, so they are looking into it.

So far this is the best notebook by Acer. The 8 hour battery life attracted me. It sure does last long. The design is sleek and nice. It is light and thin. I recommend that anyone who plans to purchase to opt for the fastest processor. Only thing I regret is that I purchased mine before the release of Windows 7. Mine has Vista but still is an awesome machine.
