Pros: I really enjoy this computer, the ability to play any games at high or max settings is very nice, as well as the LED lit screen. This is a very fast computer, unbeatable price for the performance and the dedicated graphics card. this also has a good battery life too.

Cons: The hard drive is slow, but spending close to 100 more for a faster hard drive pre installed in a computer isn’t worth it for me, not enough to dock an egg though.

Other Thoughts: I will be recommending this computer to anyone I know or meet with similar needs, for $650 the price is absolutely unbeatable

Pros: This laptop is thin, and when I say thin, I mean it. It’s just the right size laptop that I would want to carry around and it weighs nothing. It is really fast and when they say it takes 2-3 seconds to turn on and to connect to the internet they lied. Most of the time it’s one second to turn on and the-time-it-takes-to-blind to get internet. Really good processor and the whole silver design looks great.

Cons: The battery last for a really long time but I usually have mines in high performance mode since I usually program on it. On average I would say 3.5 hours of typing code and compiling while streaming music and looking up stuff on the internet. I suppose that is to be expected though. Also when I first got the laptop, anytime I hit a key the mouse would stop working for about 2 full seconds, which got annoying when I was typing and then had to click on something. I fixed this by installing the touch pad drivers again so no big deal.

Other Thoughts: I was laptop shopping at comusa and was about to settle for another pretty big laptop but then I saw this. I thought it was a macbook (lol). I went and tested it out since they had it on display and I loved it. It’s so small that it fits in a laptop sleeve designed for 11-12” laptops! Also when you uninstall all of the blotware, make sure you don’t uninstall all of the good acer programs like the launch manager. Just check under the driver/program section under Acer’s site to see what each program does.

Pros: Fairly Large hard drive, 4GB memory, Large screen. Great speakers. Fast dual core processor. Has a nice sleek carbon fiber like design, looks very nice and modern.

Cons: No hyperthreading, no AVX, no Intel Virtualization Technology. Integrated Graphics isn’t the best, but it works fine for streaming video in HD. Not gaming quality graphics though

Pros: I needed a great gaming computer for under $1000 and I found this little gem. Like JD said, it starts with 4GB (2GB a piece) of ram but what I think he didn’t grasp, is that it can be upgraded to(2 – 8GB) 16GB. I will probably start with the 4GB and when need, just replace one of them to get 10GB. I doubt I will ever need 10GB but it is nice knowing that it can get it if I need it. Another plus is that it has 2 GB dedicated to the video card, which is hard to find for this price.

I bought this computer, so that I could play SWTOR and WoW. SWTOR crapped out my last laptop and I had to upgrade. When SWTOR loaded, it was set to the highest setting and plays with no lag.

Cons: Very small complaint about the on/off button being on the top corner and I kept shutting it down on accident. Possible problem with the keyboard sticking. The E key was acting up for me but I hope it will work itself out
