Cons: once it's started up, it's so slow that it's often pointless having turned the thing on. Even once you've removed all the clog-ware that they install with it, the standard usage of physical memory WHEN IT'S NOT EVEN DOING ANYTHING is 70 - 75%. Literally, that's when there are no programmes running at all. I've done nothing more challenging with it since I've had it (one week) than basic internet use - not even streaming anything, literally sites like amazon - and yet TWICE it's been so clogged down with whatever processes Acer thought were essential to run in the background that it's frozen and had to be switched off at the plug. You know - like a caveman would have to do.
That, coupled with the absolutely painful keyboard (which randomly decides not to acknowledge when you've pressed certain keys), makes it an absolute pain to use.
Never again.
I am not an IT expert and nor do I know much about computers at all, I even needed to run this spec past my partner before purchasing it. It has a better spec than many desktop computers I have come across and runs like a beaut. It is a little pricey but I feel it is worth every penny you spend.
It is so light weight that I take it to uni and to work in my bag and hardly notice that it is there! 3kg is not a lot considering what you have at your fingertips.
The start up is insane, I mean 3 seconds from standby to fully on... Also means when there is an update and needs to restart, takes all of about 20 seconds to shut down and load up! AMAZING!
The battery life is unbelievable, I would never believe what they say about how long the battery lasts. But this laptop seriously lasts as long as stated, I mean I can take the laptop fully charged to uni WITHOUT the charger cable because I know it will last all day!
There are so many more features that I love but would take too long to explain
Buy this laptop and you will be as impressed as I am!
As far as games are concerned, this is the perfect model. Battlefield 3 & Football Manager, usually ones that like to abuse RAM and GFX are running brilliantly.
A word of advice...when you get this laptop I uninstalled all the crap that acer puts on the computer and this way you have lots more space..not that you may need it!
But to make this more of a review, the keyboard is great for touch typing, the touchpad takes some getting used to but is multifunctional so great once you’re used to it. It’s portable, powerful and the brushed mat finish looks great.
It’s also an Acer so you know you're getting good quality.
Pros:
-Light and thin
-Fast and the only big-company dedicated graphics card laptop
-incredibly fast (switches on after 20secs of wait)
-Good battery life(cannot say yet for sure)
Cons:
-Very deep sound
-Placement of the ports
-Trackpad(but it does get very easy to get used to so don't let yourself down).
-The ports are all on the back, can get very annoying.
-The screen although decent is not as good as expected.
-Backlit keyboard would have been nice.
-Having problems fitting another Hard drive although space is available, (although this could just be my idiocy?)
Having said those negatives though everything else seems pretty much perfect. GPU's great for such a light device, impressed by the CPU too and the SSD is SO quick. Just a couple of minor details stopping it from being 5 stars.
