Buy Acer Aspire Ultrabook 15.6" Touch Screen Laptop - Intel Core

Customer Ratings:

I actually ended up purchasing mine from Best Buy because it was a little cheaper there. You immediately notice the speed of the quad core i5. They only clock this one at 1.8GHz but it performs much faster. To put it into perspective, my previous laptop was an AMD Sempron at 2.2GHz and this machine is much faster. The 6GB of memory really helps. I don't do a lot of gaming, but I do multitask all the time and the memory helps to keep the system from bogging down. The touchscreen is kind of cool although I'm not really sure I need it. A lot of people don't like Windows 8 and I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with it or not, but that doesn't change the fact that this is still a very solid laptop for the money you pay. Another thing I noticed about this machine is that they did a good job with ventilation. I have had issues with overheating with past laptops and it seems like they setup their cooling very well here. If you're looking for a solid Ultrabook that won't hurt your wallet too much, I would highly recommend this unit.

I actually bought this computer from Best Buy. When I went in and looked around this one seemed like the best deal. It looks pretty slick and has all the right features.

Cons:

THE MOUSE PAD! Oh man, the mouse pad. Horrible. It doesn't actually have an indentation for the left and right click, it is underneath, so I when I went to click on something the courser would move because it thought my finger was moving.

It is SLOW! when I got it all up and running it was having a hard time loading the programs. It would take a good amount of time to just load Microsoft Word.

I didn't like the fact that I would have to hit the 'function' key and the up and down button for the volume control.

WINDOWS 8 IS HORRIBLE! I could have lived with the mouse pad and gotten more RAM for the computer, but I couldn't live with Windows 8.

Pros:

Touchscreen is a pretty cool feature to have when you want to play games.

The back-light on the keyboard is really helpful.

Sound is good, but ain't no beats by Dre.

Webcam is really clear.

Keys are nice and quiet, but spaced a little apart.

I am having this laptop delivered to me this week. Hopefully it works out better.
