Perfect size and just enough power for what it was meant for; word processing, Skype, and Photoshop

The webcam failed right at the one-year mark. The unit had also been experiencing some overheating issues. I understand that hardware failures can happen with units, and it seems I was one of the unlucky ones to receive such a unit

The specs for this laptop are top notch when considering the price. I've had it for just under a week so far and it has performed surprising well at everything I've tested

The only 'con' that I've come across has been mentioned ad nauseum. The bloatware. It wasn't quite as irritating to me, but if I had purchased this and given it to my girlfriend prior to removing all the unnecessary garbage then it would have become a...

Lightweight, Nice Black layout, Vibrant screen, Decent dual processor, good integrated graphics, very nice speakers and best of all you get these great features for an affordable price. Worth 600-700 dollars easily

none as of yet, fan can get a little loud but its not even noticeable when you get used to it

Lightweight, blazing processor speed (at least compared to my old Pentium 4), great resolution, above average webcam, whisper quiet operation, and low price

No HDMI out or bluetooth connectivity. But for the price, this isn't really a con so much as an observation

Fast cpu. good amount of RAM. The over all feel of it is really nice, its not to bulky and heavy yet its not to small either. Webcam. And with the Geforce 9100m Graphics card im able to play all my games with ease. Currently i play Sims 3 and WoW

Vista. also Acer loads its computers with alot of useless software. it didnt take me but 10 minutes to remove it so it wasnt to big of a deal

Price, size, specs

This thing comes loaded with junk. Straight out the gate this thing had 80+ processes running in the background. I will never get the hour it took to remove everything back

More than enough machine for my use ; AMD X2 64 ; NVIDIA ; Works perfect with UBUNTU 9.04

Vista and trashsoftware

Price. Great value overall

None

Well built laptop ; Great Value ; Powerful components ; Wireless N ; Small, Lightweight closest thing to a netbook with power you will find :)

Lacks 64bit Vista (which I assumed Vista Premium would come with it standard) ; Horrible battery power around 2 hours on power saving mode ; The laptop keyboard although built well has alot of unnecessary Acer buttons and such which look horrible and...

Acer never disappoint me so far. This one is fast, cheap, light weight and plenty of horse power. I have many laptops, and Acer always give the best value for bucks. Acer Backup and restore is the easy to use so far, even my 9 years old daughter know...

Touch isn't as good as my Toshiba or Gateway; but those laptop isn't work as well as this gateway
