5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what i wanted, January 15, 2010

This computer is exactly what I wanted. I had been searching for a computer for a long time before I found this one. I was looking for a touchscreen computer to take advantage of windows 7's touchscreen capabilities and I was very adamant about it. I looked at several different brands like Toshiba and Hp. From what I understand Toshiba's touchscreen laptops are not very good. The screen is dim and the touchscreen features are not sensitive. Hp's touchsmart was a bit expensive and too small for my taste. There are also a lot of touchscreen notebooks which I honestly find useless because they are expensive and primarily they're not laptops. There are several features I like about this Acer laptop apart from the touchscreen which really is amazing for this price. There's Dolby home theater surround sound which take my word for it is amazing. I've watched movies on this and the sound compliments the sweet video quality. Another thing is the 4 USB ports - I've looked a lot of computers and standard is 2 and max 3. Some people might think that you don't that many but I have an external hard drive, a wireless mouse, an Mp3 player which needs a USB port to dock and laptop cooler which also needs USB cooler to turn on its fan. So in all honesty the more the merrier. Also I'm picky bout volume control I can't explain how much I hate the touch control volume buttons that beep as you increase and decrease volume and that no longer work when the computer freezes. I prefer a knob that some Toshiba models have but this one has button volume controls that don't beep which is satisfactory. Other things I can comment about are the full keyboard is a plus, sensitive mouse pad with cool features like scrolling and others you can play with, GREAT battery life. Lastly I've used this laptop everyday no joke since I got it 3 weeks ago and its fantastically durable - starts up quick, really fast, I haven't used it to its full potential but I can tell you can do a lot of apps on this computer.

This touchscreen laptop is amazing for its price. You can buy a similarly spec'd Dell for the same price W/O the touchscreen.

I've had it for a month and it hasn't given me any troubles. The only con is the bloatware. If you remove those, you have a laptop that kicks butt.

As for the graphics, I've tested Resident Evil 5 on it. It can play high settings, but still works best on low to medium settings.

Mine came with a stand so that the screen doesn't tilt when you use the touchscreen, and a cloth cleaner to wipe out your fingerprints.

What more can you ask? Buy now!

For the price, you will not find a laptop that offers a core 2 duo processor, a 512MB graphics card, 4 GB of Memory. A touch screen is a great plus, and works wonders with windows 7. I tried to play Far Cry 2 on this laptop, I run it on close to max resolution, with all animations set to High, and it works like a charm, no slow downs whatsoever, thanks to the dedicated 512MB graphics card. I also played Dirt 2, and it works great. I am very satisfied with this laptop and would recommend it to anyone.

Pros:
Core 2 duo 2.2GHz processor
Dedicated 512 MB graphics card
4GB RAM
Touch screen

Cons:
A little bulky and heavy
Poor battery life
