This thing has it all. It's all the power and slender of a macbook pro for half the price. Well, maybe not "all" the power, but all that most people need.

I will say right off the bat that this laptop has a great video card, but a low quality sound card. So if you do audio/video editing and not a lot of gaming, I would go with something else. If your a gamer though, this has unbeatable graphics for the -$600 price range.

Starcraft 2 runs at 70+ fps on low, 30-50 on medium and High, and 15-20 on ultra. WoW would surely run perfectly with 4 gigs of RAM.
I love this laptop. The keyboard is comfy, the touchpad feels good and has a very intuitive scroller on it for reading pages. The screen is amazing, HD, very bright, looks awesome.

The pros outweigh the cons very much, but I feel like I have to mention them for people. There are a couple of dead pixels, like 4-5 and that is common from other reviews I have read. They are really not noticeable during use, and very small, but still frustrating. Also, a lot of bloatware comes installed and NO windows 7 disc :(. Really frustrating but for $550 I think it is still well worth it. This thing is packed with great technology and is slim to boot. If your a gamer strapped for cash, I would HIGHLY recommend this over comparable toshiba's, hp's and dell's if you are torn.

Got the laptop a few weeks ago. Have been using it quite a bit and it does everything we need, (school work/internet/minimal gaming). So far no problems at all. It comes with alot of junk-ware, but thats normal and doesn't hurt anything. Overall, I'd definetely recommend it. It was the best we could find for a low cost, and I did quite a bit of searching before we purchased it.

The computer works okay. It freezes up several times per day, for 2-3 minutes at a time. I've done a lot of research into why, and it appears to be a hardware problem, not a software problem. However, it is somewhat hard to diagnose because the CPU is overtaxed to the point that even the Task Manager and the touchpad will not respond. I would not recommend this computer. Oh, it also has this problem where you will start to type, but your text will not appear for a few minutes. You might type a few lines of text but you won't be able to see them until the computer thinks about it for a while. The problem seems to be a poor quality motherboard.

Great PC for the money. Had all the features I was looking for including draft N wireless, GB LAN, and 4GB of memory. Could of used a bigger HDD but small in nature. Well worth the money and have always been a fan of Acer. Fast shipping by Amazon also.

very easy to use. no problems with it at all. ligth weight. very pleased with the purchase

Computer is fine, personally, I don't like the keyboard. The 10 key pad is hard to get used to on my laptop, I can't seem to get my fingers in the right position. Also, new to Windows 7. I know that has nothing to do with the computer itself. I also have a hard time with the mouse.

I have a three year old laptop that worked for less than one year fixed once broke again and now there is no way to even ship back to get fixed for any amount of money. Customer Phone service is a tight loop to the hang up. do not buy an acer laptop. the screens are great and i have had one for 7 years but do not buy the laptops must be made by dell or something.
