I purchased this as a replacement for an AMD Athon X2 5600 desktop with 4 gb of ram. I was having trouble with windows 8 64 bit programs going into "not responding" mode due to system bottlenecks. I do graphic design and use the Adobe Creative suite extensively. I use the laptop mostly on my desk connected to an external 1920 x 1080 hd monitor and wireless keyboard and it works well. I may need to increase the ram to 8gb from 6 gb as I am still having the "program not responding" issues despite the faster processor. It appears that a lot of other people have the same problems with Windows 8, so I cant fault the laptop. I really like the touch screen, it really is very intuitive and you adapt to it very quickly.
This is my first laptop and it has successfully replaced my desktop pc. I purchased this a a refurbished unit but the laptop looks great with no obvious imperfections. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I bought this for my wife because the laptop she had prior, not an Acer, ran very hot. So hot she couldn't keep it in her lap so what good is a laptop you can't keep in your lap! This Acer runs cool and fast and is just what she wanted. Very nice design for her, light enough for transport and large enough for her to use Facebook and get pictures of the kids.
