We have the Acer laptop now for 4 weeks. We use it for normal Internet use + all other common home applications (photos, even create some writing or even an Excel). Occasionally, I also work with PowerPoint. The processor is always sufficient for our needs. Also through the Internet Security program installed McAfee no drop in performance is noticeable. The graphics are for all home applications at least enough (I can not say anything bad). The battery keeps the given 3-4 hours. A complete battery charge takes approximately 45 minutes. The WiFi works perfectly. My conclusion: If you want a notebook for normal home use requires mach with the Acer nothing wrong.
