5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice laptop November 24, 2011

By Gordon S. Ferris

Amazon Verified Purchase

I've only been using this laptop for a few days. But it's a winner. Great screen, speakers,keyboard,webcam,very easy to set up. Windows 7 is a snap to use. (I've been using Vista, before that XP Pro and XP.)The laptop comes with 4gb of ram. I ordered two 4gb. to increase the ram to 8gb. I found the upgrade here on Amazon for only $29. That's cheap enough. I would recommend Acer to anyone that wants a good computer that doesn't cost a lot of money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best value at $379. December 1, 2011

By mralan

After looking at laptops for several months I finally settled on this little beauty. This is my first laptop and I have fallen in love with it. I wanted a machine to use "Push 2 TV" with and kiss my cable bill goodbye and I did just that. Life is good! Caught this Acer on sale at Micro Center for $379 and I couldn't be happier. If you're thinking about this one, get it. You won't be sorry especially at $379.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal December 30, 2011

By southieshamrock

I bought this laptop a year ago. My laptop died and I needed a new one quick. Money was tight and so I shopped around(big box stores, online, etc...) and I kept coming back to this one. I love this computer it exceeded my expectations. I waited a year to review because I feel this is the best way to measure how well an electronic device works. It's easy to write a good review 3 days after you bought something when it is still shiny new. This laptop took a beating and still runs prefect, not one issue. I use it for work and school everyday for at least three hours at a time. Acer makes a great product at a great price. Don't let the low price fool you this was well worth the $500. I ran ArcGIS 9.3 (full version)right out of the box no problem. I also used it for class on 3d game design and 3d online worlds, not one hiccup.
I bought this as a cheap stop gap measure to get me by till I got a better laptop and never traded-up.
Buy This laptop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing for the price January 7, 2012

By William B. Partridge

I picked this laptop up for $400 on Amazon as a gift for my mom. I spent a few hours setting it up for her before hand and I have to say for the price I'm really impressed. Things could be better - namely the screen isn't very good, it gets washed out very easily, but it's not terrible.

As long as you set your expectations accordingly you'll be very happy with it. As stated, the screen isn't great, there's no backlit keyboard, and specs aren't blazing fast but that's not really something you can expect in a laptop under $500. What it does offer that a lot of others don't is USB 3.0 (most will have only 2.0), Intel Core i3 (most will have either Pentium D or AMD) or Intel WiDi. It's really impressive to find that in a laptop so cheap. To really improve the problem specs (screen namely, maybe hard drive speed/size) the laptop would likely have to cost double.

All in all, very pleased. Acer bloatware was minimal and easily removed too. I probably had it all cleaned off and installed with the software she'd need in under 2 hours.

4.0 out of 5 stars Acer Aspire Laptop May 7, 2012

By BassCliff

Amazon Verified Purchase

This Acer laptop, in fact the pretty much the whole Acer line, is a good solid value. This is a no-nonsense, good bang-for-your-buck machine with lots of RAM and storage (hard drive) space. It's no gaming computer but it is serving our purposes well; light photo editing, word processing, web surfing, email, etc. The wireless connection works flawlessly. It did not come loaded with a bunch of "trialware" and "crapware" that gets in your way and usually has to be uninstalled. It has a decent size screen without being too big and is good for watching DVDs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sufficiently good power at a very reasonable price December 31, 2011

By CallMeBond

I bought this laptop as a secondary laptop for my family as I have my work and personal laptops already. Shipment arrived before promised date and packaging was done very well. I liked the glossy deep black look though it attracts a lot of lint/dust and it is not very bulky for it's size. It took me less than 30 min to light it up and was not loaded with a lot of junk software. It took some effort to install printer driver, as "Add Printer" did not give me an option to load the driver from CD so I had to do minimal install of HP printer software. I was able to connect with my TV and Home Theater Receiver using HDMI as this laptop will be used a lot for this purpose and was a main factor for buying this. It's body has a feel of plastic case and needs to be handled with a bit of caution. Multi-touch mouse pad is also not very responsive to be best in class but not a big deal for me. I am curious about WI-DI feature which I am not able to explore now but intend to at some point of time. I am not able to find any negative with laptop in 2-3 days of my ownership and quite like the screen size/display quality. I bought it at a deal price and it is totally worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars After 1 year I'm pretty happy December 5, 2011

By Bethesda Dad

I had a couple of issues with this laptop that originally made me rate it at one star. But these problems were resolved very satisfactorily. Now, maybe, there shouldn't be any problems, but I did pay a lot less for the features and computing power of this laptop. In any case, Acer was really excellent in handling the bigger problem (a noisy fan) which I didn't report to them until the last two weeks of the one year warranty. They fixed it, cleaned up the computer, updated the CMOS, and it works better than ever! I'm happy with it and am happy to give it 4 stars.
