Haven't test it completely but so far, and for basic jobs..it's awesome!! Perfect if you don't have a high budget and you're a looking for a mid-basic laptop.What I now can write as pros are:
Lightweight and thin
Awesome sound
Average webcam resolution....like 1.3 mpx if I'm not wrong but it works.
Soft keyboard
Turbo boost it's amazing! you'll have your laptop up in less than 4 secs. Even when having many apps open for more than a week and using it everyday.
Great processor so far. While having many normal apps working at the same time, the system haven't crashed.
Screen resolution amazing.
What's not so good by now:
No key Locks light, you have to depend on software warnings when caps are on/off. But this only affects when u're entering a password.
Mousepad. Even I think this is a common issue, it does get touched when you're writing and more if you're concentrated. But you can always deactivate it (fn+7).
All usb ports are on the left side. So, beware if you're planning to buy or if you have a short wired mouse. Everything goes to the left.
This is not a cons for me but if you do a lot of presentations using a projector by vga, be sure to take the adapter with you all the time (cable with vga and rj-45 ports is included).
When closing the lid and not turning off the laptop, you have to deactivate the mouse pad; if not, it drives crazy and starts opening apps and clicking anywhere it can. (UPDATED 21/08/2013).
Read on many reviews that this laptop has issues with it's wifi card, which I haven't had yet.
For the ones that are afraid or had trouble with windows 8.. easy, downgrade to windows 7 or use any linux distribution, so you won't get lost.

Will update (hope I don't forget), when I test this laptop better.

I run a virtual table top role playing game programmed in Java, and my old machine wasn't cutting it since I have to host players. I've used acer in the past and decided to pick this one up.I do some very basic graphic work on maps for the game and it handles GIMP very well. Over all it's a powerful machine and it does the job I need it to do, it doesn't come with Office but I'm a Google drive guy so that didn't matter too much. It's got a pretty decent screen, which is nice for movies and videos via the web. The Win 8 interface is a bit clunky without the touch screen, so I would recommend if it's in your budget get the touch screen version, or a second monitor if you are going to be in a semi-fixed location for a while.
I rarely use if off power so I really can't speak about the battery life.
The two issues I have are minor and are likely me just nitpicking, the first is that the power jack is on the left hand side of the unit and I always end up with the cord over my lap or under my feet, it just feels like it should be on the right side and it's also a little tough to get the power adapter into the machine. The second is screen is a bit thin when compared to some other laptops so just be careful about how you hold it.
Overall it's a nice mid-level machine.
