 Mostly inaccurate reviews -- excellent laptop February 27, 2010
Joe D
I'm not usually one to post reviews, but I feel the need to since the majority of the existing reviews are completely inaccurate.
BOTTOM LINE: This is an excellent laptop. HOWEVER, you're going to need to format and install a fresh copy of Windows the moment that you unbox the product. When I turned it on for the first time, it was an absolute snail. I immediately formatted, threw on a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64, and proceeded to do a victory dance around the house. It's smoking fast and runs just about anything and everything I throw at it. From just daily use all the way through web development and a light game here and there -- this laptop won't disappoint you.
I was and still am pleasantly surprised. I'd never been inclined to buy an Acer in the past, but I sure am happy that I did this go around.
 Good machine - Very, Very Bad Support February 23, 2010

The machine came with a certificate for Windows 7, which arrived after a phone call inquiring as to its whereabouts.
In the middle of the install which required the optical drive, the optical drive disappeared and the install was unable to continue.
Tech support promised to install Windows 7 if the machine was sent to them (at my expense - $50) but returned it with the old Vista reloaded.
I am using this machine but cancelled the orders for the remaining 10 units and have told my people to never purchase an ACER product again.
 Love the build, but I've never felt not in control of a computer! January 8, 2010
IlovesAmazon
I've never purchased an acer computer before, only a scanner way back in the 90s. I've always been good with Windows computers and I fix all of my family's computer problems. This computer was the first time where I felt like I don't have control over one.
Literally, right on the 31th day of the amazon return period, my grandfather (who owns the computer) told me that the computer would automatically reboot about 10 seconds into loading the Windows desktop. I funked around with it for a while and determined that a RAM stick went faulty. From what I've heard, RAM is the least likely piece of hardware to break (and it's happened to me before on a Dell XPS. In that computer, two went bad at the same time!). So I ended up talking to outsourced technical support which is essentially only good for arranging shipments to a repair center.
They sent me back the computer and replaced the 2GB stick. It's been working fine for now as I've installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and went through the device manager to install the appropriate drivers from the acer website. For now there are two issues that make me fear another breakdown. First off, I don't know what this is due to, but sometimes it seems that Windows doesn't see or recognize the CD drive, and if you were to put in a DVD when the drive isn't recognized, (and attempt a restart because the laptop won't play the DVD), Windows gets stuck in an endless shut down cycle. If you do manage to take out the DVD while its shutting down, the screen goes blank, but the computer doesn't restart and requires you to hold the power button. The second issue, which
is more ominous, is that one time after waking up the computer from standby, there was graphics corruption similar to this [...]
The video drivers are updated and when I had my memory issues I actually had graphics corruption similar to this. Since the graphics corruption is here after the memory replacement, I'm worried this computer will need to be sent back. Another thing you should know is that I can't do a BIOS update after installing Windows 7 because acer's update software is specific to Windows Vista. I spoke to technical support and they told me many customers have been complaining so they're working on something (supposedly).
Short summary of issues:
RAM failure
Faulty DVD drive
Graphics corruption
BIOS update restricted to Vista
No peace of mind...
On the other hand, when the computer works, I thoroughly enjoy working with it. It's got a nice keyboard and it's light and cool. The contrast ratio is meh, but you could get pretty good skin tones with intel's graphics utility. If you do get this PC, switch to windows 7 because though the core of it is the same as vista, the rough edges have been rounded and its a much better computing experience OS-wise.
Hope this review helped!
It's all good!... December 4, 2009

Love it. After four months heavy usage - absolutely no complaints, thank God. The 8 hour battery is a marvel. Good job, Acer.
I love mine (with Certino). VERY VERY QUIET! and COLD! and FAST! December 1, 2009
G. Koren (Tel Aviv, Israel)
Great great great notebook, really. This is a notebook for individuals who are looking for a good, affordable, sleek sophisticated looking design (if you ask me better than any other), speed, and QUIETNESS! and it doesn't get much warmth, you can sit it on your lap for hours and you won't get 4 degree scorch.
This is a perfect notebook, I carry mine anywhere (it's very light) and its battery life is very long, even when I use maximum performance + adobe Photoshop + Dreamweaver + Illustrator + internet + media player + Pdf + folders + itunes, and it works perfectly. Really I don't suffer from any performance problems.
I couldn't be more satisfied, just make sure you buy the one with Certino processor, not Pentium. It's a bit more expensive, but well worth it.
And I have no idea why all the bad reviews... i thought this would have like 5+ reviews I guess the Amazon quality of it is so so.
