Great laptop for the price

It was mentioned by another reviewer but I wanted to reiterate that the documentation is spartan at best. There is no documentation about the array of one touch buttons on this laptop and I have no idea what half of them do. In one of the quick start...

Bright screen, very fast even with vista. First time using vista on a laptop and I am very impressed expected to put XP on it but it handles vista fine. Empowering software is very handy

Webcam resolution is pretty bad, but that is certainly not a dealbreaker especially at this price. The wireless card driver was outdated and it took a while to figure it out so I had to reboot the computer everytime I wanted to connect to a network....

Great Laptop

Even with some of its minor short comings, its a great laptop and I have no regrets getting one. As usual it came fast with Neweggs fast shipping and was packed in 3 boxes so it arrived nice and safe.

Faster than my desktop for some reason. It's full of features and has decent battery life. Plays my online games just fine. Nice display that is bright and crystal clear. Wireless works great. Touch pad doesn't seem to be jumpy. Key layout is...

The sound is ok, not bad, but I've heard other laptops that sounded better when playing music. It's a bit on the plain jane side. Comes loaded with useless trialware. They gave the HD 2 partitions which I found kind of odd. Nothing really major

So Far So Good

The finish is a little dull has the appearance of a dated laptop but more powerful then the flashy Toshiba's.

This is a replacement laptop I ordered after I had to return a TOSHIBA Satellite A355D-S6921, So far this laptop is so much better then the one it replaced. The Toshiba's touchpad stop responding completely after 8 days of use. It seems like a much...

None so far

Solid, but plain

Be prepared to spend some time removing the useless software to clear up the clutter.

Good hardware, Very fast for the price

What can I say, Vista

Bad Documentation

Cleaned up all of the bloatware, which wasn't all that much.

Runs very fast for a vista machine

Poor documentation. The user manual included in this is one of those "general" ones. Unfortunately, it seems that this computer was only made for Newegg. This computer does not even exist in Acer's tech support website

A++++ Laptop

Very good laptop. I bought one about 6 months ago and use it every day, all day. I work for an IT company, so needless to say, it gets put to the test! I have really enjoyed this laptop, and for the price, it is one of the best on the market. Two weeks...

Vista slows it down at times, but this will happen on any computer with Vista

Do not buy!

Avoid this laptop, it's complete junk. I have other Acer's that I have been extremely happy with, but not this one.

Decent price and quick shipping, nice glossy screen

Wow, where do I start, to many to list here. I am on the second issued laptop and the new one also has the exact same problems ; blue screen on reboot ; very slow installing or uninstalling programs (over an hour) ; keyboard intermittently works ; does...
