The battery lasts for a normal user behavior around seven hours. Perfectly adequate in my eyes. The hard drive is fast and big enough.
Windows 8.1 is installed. The operating system loads very, very quickly. And I do not mean a few minutes but a few seconds. That I know of laptops far different. Solid State Hybrid Drive makes it possible.
The other products of the Aspire series so often criticized touchpad works flawlessly. The chiclet keyboard with its deeper key drop is large enough to surf not only the Internet but also to work properly.
Overall, the Acer Aspire V3-371-34KV makes a convincing impression, mainly because it is extremely powerful. Personally, I can not find anything negative in my usage patterns and may issue a buy rating to a hundred percent.
