Great little laptop
By P. Catterton
For the price, this laptop is hard to beat. Check out the features: 500GB Hybrid HD (30GB SSD), 8 GB RAM, excellent screen with edge to edge brightness; aluminum case with plastic bottom; 10 numeric keypad.It's an i5, so it's going to have some fan noise, but it's minor. The only thing it needs but doesn't have is discrete graphics. Other than that its a great little computer.By the way, this laptop has wonderful audio imaging! Stereo channel separation is better on this laptop than any I've ever heard. The speakers are a little lacking but put on your favorite track and listen... you'll be able to hear information coming from both channels; very, very enjoyable. One suggestion however.... when listening to music use the laptop on a table as the speakers are on the bottom of the unit and would otherwise fire into your knees and muffle output otherwise. Other than that, a very nice little laptop.

By Mahdi Tehrani
This "ultrabook" is basically replacing my old work horse. I bought it as a machine that could tide me over until I have time to build a new system. I needed something that had enough of everything to do all the work I needed, not so much for gaming.I bought this as an open box and it came in at about $500 + tax. I love the cosmetics of it, which wasn't a factor in purchasing, but feels like a luxury at this point.The battery has been great, I haven't had to bring my power supply with me even though I take off to work on the machine for about 3 hours at a time, I never had an issue no matter how much I surf or how many processes I'm running (including an Apache server stack).I hear there are hackitosh possibilities with this so I may explore a dual boot option in the future.The sound is decent but not out of this world, almost good in fact. The resolution is a little hard to get used to. I haven't used a machine with this low of resolution in many many years - at least like 7, but it's fine.My dislikes - there's a long list, but at the same time, I'm still very happy with the purchase.1) the keyboard size. I don't think it was necessary to have a number pad on this device, in fact I didn't even consider it when making the purchase but now see that it gets in the way and I would have preferred a bit more typing space.2) the track pad, I think it should be smaller because I don't have huge hands but I'm constantly gracing it with my lower thumb area and it brings up all kinds of screens in Windows 8 - they could even have positioned the track pad slightly off center and that would have helped - as it stands, there's just about 1/4 inch too little space to type without some effort to avoid the track pad.3) no vga out (HDMI to DVI cable on Amazon for like $6 solved this)4) seemingly no way to upgrade the RAM. I'm planning to buy an 8gb RAM chip to replace the 4gb chip that's in there - hopefully it will work.5) no clear information on how to access the 20gb SSD - after 2 weeks nw, I still don't know if it's in use. you can see the machine recognizes something by checking the Task Manager Performance tab in Windows 8.6) the biggest issue of all is the glossiness of the screen. This is common I hear for Acer, and it's a major annoyance. I'm going to learn to live with it, but this screen is super glossy and reflective.7) Volume control via keyboard - it's just overall not a great experience.8) Home, Pg Up, Pg Dn, End keys - they are not side by side and not easy to access - going to try and switch them in the Bios.Wish List - for this thing I wish there were a couple other things - which would probably effect the price which I wouldn't want:1) dedicated video card - I hear-tell there is a model out there that has this, wish mine did, and I could have found it on open box sale, I would have paid the extra even though it would be over the budget.2) touch screen - again, I hear there is a version with too - wish mine had it for this price.3) single key volume controls _ don't want to have to use both hands to keyboard control my volume - it's more annoying than I ever thought it would be.Overall, with the open box price, I'm happy. Hopefully I can switch out some keys with the Bios and switch out the RAM with a higher chip. Netflix and Eclipse and all the usual things run fine as it is.
