I purchased this computer from a small tech shop with the intention of running Linux on it. I was amazed at how fast this machine works. Great for gaming (Steam and WINE), video editing, 3d modeling and anything else I can throw at it. Great battery...

This laptop is awesome.. It will do everything you want it to.. I have played World of Warcraft on it for 6 hrs straight and it runs like a dream.. As long as you have a good utility program to get rid of unwanted stuff this computer runs like a pro.....

Only 1 con and not really because I don't like mouse pads anyway.. mouse pad isn't all that great so you will need a mouse if your going to game on it.. Otherwise mouse pad is fine

The LED display is gorgeous ; The build quality of the screen, outer casing and keyboard is impressive. Very solid and sturdy feel ; Lightweight, enough ; Fast, quad core with ample cache, 6GB DDR3 and a pretty decent graphics processor giving options...

No usb 3.0, doesn't effect me ; No Esata, nice to have but again didn't matter to me..and would only use occasionally ; No Bluetooth, didn't matter to me either ; No egg taken because 2nd day shipping was a waste of money since it didn't ship out til...

Looks cool

It forces you to activate Mcafee

Great battery life ; Runs cool thanks to apu technology ; Fast response, hard to over-tax this thing ; Speakers sound good ; webcam is good ; Hard drive is not fast but sufficient enough for my needs

I'm not a fan of the screen viewing angles, the lcd looks washed out too easily ; The keyboard keys seem a little flimsy ; The video graphics could be better ; The unit is a little heavy ; Bloatware, but that is easily remedied

Good Processor and all around good specs for the money ; Keyboard is not as bad as some make it out to be ; Did I mention it's under $400 ; Good sound compared to some laptops ; APU is better than anything Intel is offering in this price range or even...

Touchpad is annoying in many ways, just use a wireless mouse ; Acer Customer Service, lets just say hard to follow ; Could use more indicator lights, like for caps lock(does have option to make a sound when you hit caps.) ; Camera not as good as I...
