Generally Good, Bad BIOS/UEFI

 

I like the minimalistic simplicity of the acer laptops. Aside from Macbooks, they are my preferred Windows laptop -- no extra doohickies and buttons all over the place. Bare necessities. Nice.

Very cost-effective, good laptop for average use (office, surfing, etc.)

dual hard drive bays

 

nice machine, sometimes you dont need the high end cpus upgrading the ram to 8gb and adding and ssd will do the trick

Adding to last review

 

Battery life is good - with brightness all the way down, sound and WiFi off, it will definately last over 4 hours. With more normal use it should last at least 2 hours ; Screen has decent angle of view, of course not IBM ThinkPad quality, but with...

Works great out of the box Fast and preloaded programs are a great start for the kid in school and a bargain to equally equipped laptops. Will not break the bank or your check book.
