I have this Acer Aspire notebook purchased as a second unit, so I do not have to carry larger ASUS Zenbook every day in the university my. My main requirement was therefore primarily mobility and thereby can fully convince the notebook. It has 11.6 inch a really pleasant screen size (for working on text processing etc. a lot more comfortable than my old 10 inch netbook from back then), and its case fits in almost every one of my handbags and is pleasantly light. The battery life is sufficient for a regular day at the university in any case. The touchpad is easy to operate, so that the driving of a mouse it is not necessary as a rule. As a bit disturbing I find the two parts assembled, somewhat bulky charging cable - but this is only a small flaw. What began as a student of course is also very important for me, is the quality of the keyboard, and on this point I have nothing to complain about; the keys are from stop her pleasant; Although they rattle a bit, so energetic tap already is clearly audible, but for the price range of the device is all holds within. Except for the keyboard sounds the notebook falls to the fact that it is very quiet. Of course, it is not a multimedia notebook and who is spoiled when it comes to picture and sound quality, will perhaps be disappointed, but my requirements for watching Youtube videos and movie files, the device satisfies all. The only thing that strikes me adversely, is the operating speed; you open multiple tabs and still run one or the other program in the background, so the notebook already comes from time to stumble and hangs in between for a few seconds. CONCLUSION: As a "main notebook" the device for me would not be suitable because in more complex applications, the computing power yet to be desired; but as a second machine to take home and for everyday surfing write emails and ÜR Office applications, it is worth every penny and conjures with his color (Note: The color is really gaudy) a splash of color to everyday life. From me there with small deductions a buy recommendation.
