Best priced 128GB SSD ultrabook I could find with these specs. I did not want to pay extra for a touch screen because if the touch pad works perfect, why put fingerprints and smudges all over the screen? It has the look and feel of a MacBook Air except the keys are not backlit. I installed Start8 to give it a Windows 7 UI (and bring back the start button). The Windows Metro UI is best suited for touch screen tablets. Boot up is smoking fast and overall everything works great. It comes with a HDMI to VGA adapter. My only major complaint is the usual bloatware that comes installed but I used Revo uninstaller to get rid of it. They should have a feature that separates the freebie programs from those that are necessary for hardware operation.

This has the 3rd generation Intel i3 and the latest hd4000 video card. Runs fast and should be reliable because of the solid state hard drive. Fewer moving parts. Almost instant on start up works well and is a nice feature. Highly recommended.

At first I loved it. Quick start up, small and light. But I've only had the thing a couple weeks, and it looks as though the hard drive has gone kaput. When I try to start it, it says "no bootable device please restart system". I have tried restarting mulitple times, same thing. I'm not a heavy user, no gaming or anything. Just e-mail, facebook, some web surfing and the like. So now I'm back on my super-slow dinosaur (yet still mostly functioning) Dell laptop, and the Acer support page won't load, so I can't find who to contact. No longer impressed. In fact, rather frustrated.

This ultrabook came in handy. I can carry it everywhere. It's light and fast to connect to WiFi anywhere I go. Screen is clear and vivid. I'm not crazy about Windows 8, so I'll probably reprogram it for Windows 7.

Pros:

Very light

Great performance for size and price

Very fast boot

clear crisp display

Keyboard very similar to mac counterpart

usb 3.0

128GB SSD!!

Cons:

Battery life about 6hrs (I would sacrifice some size and weight for a bigger battery)

Mouse pad (I prefer having individual right and left mouse buttons, multitouch works great though)

could use 2 more usb ports

I purchased this to replace my 17" gamin laptop. I can hardly believe I put up with hauling that thing around for so long. it is also worth mentioning that I got my mom a similar Avatar ultrabook and the quality and overall performance of the Acer is far superior. Sorry Mom.
