I needed to replace a laptop and did not want sink a fortune into a new system. My prior system was a Dell which lasted 3.5 years before collapsing, and with good care on my part, so I was very disappointed in its performance. This summary is based on one week of experience with the new laptop.

My main use of the laptop is to check and compose email, do internet searches, and draft various written pieces. Most of my intense work is done on a desktop system; the laptop is a convenience device as I use it.

I wanted a Windows System 7 for compatibility reasons and I've heard negative impressions of Windows System 8.. Acer was recommended to me by IT technicians and a salesperson in a big box store. The main reason I purchased it is because Acers are said to not require repairs or service and are said to be reliable. I also looked at user reviews prior to purchase.

My prior system weighted 7 lbs and this one is around 4 pounds, so the Acer will be easier to take on travels.

I am satisfied with the performance of the laptop to date. It was easy to set up, with easy to follow directions. The only bothersome aspect is the "mouse pad" which varies from being sometimes unresponsive to overly responsive. To "click" on an item you press the bottom left of the "mouse pad" and to edit (such as copy/paste, etc) you press on the bottom left corner. I find this awkward to use. Some reviews state that the space bar is unresponsive except in the middle only, but I have not found that to be a problem. Using the "mouse pad" is not easy. It is very difficult to control the cursor it flies all over the place.

The overall appearance of the laptop is satisfactory. The CD/DVD drive looks a bit flimsy but works adequately. The sound is acceptable for a laptop. There are a lot of icons for products and services in which I have no interest, but these can be removed.

Except for the mouse pad and related issues, this is a good, serviceable laptop. The 4GB Ram and 500 Gb hard drive is a very attractive feature of this notebook.

Bought as a school laptop for our son. This laptop gets used on a daily basis by a 10 year old so it does get some abuse but has worked wonderfully.
