Was lucky enough to get the device via the flash range for 299. Model V3-112P
The first impression,
At first glance, the quality is ok, you should keep the price in mind always.
The cover has slight weaknesses, he gets tangled up something and knart easily.
Using the touchpad, there are no problems. HDD, SSD would make more sense, but you can not ask (price)
Battery according to the first charge at 7h, but I can not say much more to it.
In terms of size, not much difference to my Chromebook C720, weight, the Acer is 1300g,
Keyboard is ok for me, the screen also, if I can get used to the touchscreen, do not know yet.
Software 8.1 I will probably play again because too much garbage on your hard disk, or perhaps even the same fit an SSD.
The magazine named the time, I once set plays to test the games Skills World of Tank.
Ran into the minimal setting liquid, 15-40 fps, it fluctuated, but let himself play.
(Perhaps for many a helpful)
Property me the device also viewed from the inside, to see how well you can change memory and hard drive.
The screws have to be solved are, all have the same thread size and length, do feature blue Schraubenbsicherungslack on the thread.
Unfortunately you have to build the device almost completely apart to expand the memory can, there is only one base which is covered with a 4GB module.
Please be careful with the plugs, for battery, speakers, keyboard, touchpad.
Let's see how the device will hit in everyday life.
Update 03/12/2014
By installing an SSD Samsung Evo840 the device brought only 8s between switching and password entry screen (Display Date / Time)
In addition Win8.1 newly uploaded.
runs great
what I like
- Battery life
Programs installed, surfing, video (Internet) looked'm at 60% unit tells me rest time nor 7h
What I did not like so much:
Lids can be opened a little hard
-Leertaste Must be taken centrally otherwise it does not work
- All USB ports are behind, is a bit cumbersome to quickly connect something to at least one should be side
Update 29.12.2014
Unit returns again
Whenever I open the lid, or him take hold one side (left) to move it, I realize how the display glass is a little out of the lid out, apparently to be poorly bonded.
I will reduce my rating by one point, we'll see how the next device from the quality is.
Update 31.12.2014
Replacement unit has arrived. Kudos to the Amazon service !!!
old equipment is sent to Amazon back end of the week.
At first glance,
Display is firmly bonded.
- Spacebar works even if it is seitlicht operated.
But touchpad rattles (in the old device, this was not so)
Since I wanted to use my old SSD again, I've sometimes the touchpad looked at more closely.
It seemingly well be an unfortunate construction, in the middle there is a Micro button (you can the left or press the right actually save), and if some minimal too much play between the Micro button and the touchpad is, this creates rattle a.
It is to remedy without much effort, one would need only a piece of tape or bandage on the lower side of the touchpad stick, so that it lies between Micro button and touchpad.
But the question naturally arises, if you buy a new device, you should not do with such a thing.
Since you have read here but already several Acer devices, other models with this problem, the question arises, how often you should claim the devices until you hold a perfect instrument in the hands.
Installed is also another HD, with the old unit a Toschiba MQ01ABF050, when the new device is a WD Blue WD5000LPVX
With the old equipment was the Bios version 1.03, with the new 1:08
Added is under Main: Touch Pad (Advanced / Basic)
I stay only once with my rating of 4 stars, because of the clattering touch pad.
I'm going first time to work with it and see if it really bothers me.
Update 25/01/2015
After much consideration, I have taken the problem "touchpad" into their own hands and stuck slightly below, so as described above.
I'll spare change or repair the, so I know what I have and not have to get angry with a poor service around.
Did I even put a bag for the device to
Made of felt, fits perfectly, is also available with additional pocket for the power adapter.
I'm still looking for a more compact power adapter than the original, where the 230V plug is already integrated in the power supply.
I find it a pity that the quite small power supply has such a bulky 230V cable.
I am continuing to peace so far with the device.
Update 27/01/2015
A suitable power supply for the way it has been found
The plug can be removed (can be replaced as necessary by other connector for other countries, but must be purchased separately, or acquire such a power supply equal with different connectors)
and the plug can be rotated 90 °.
