Customer Review

The build quality is quite good, but more one of details, such. As the keyboard that had to be saved in the production. Therefore, an external keyboard is advisable for prolific writer. But for passwords, entries in search masks, etc., it is sufficient.
What the first two days has really annoyed after purchase, was Windows 8. But that is not the fault of the device, but the software. There were 98 first update to install, connected to multiple reboots, only after an update to Windows 8.1 was possible. This then had a terrible problem, which indeed is not the case for all devices. Then again 9 updates. Conclusion: Two days until the computer was time that the software could be installed, which is required.
External devices have not been tested very extensively, but a Blue Ray burner from Samsung was recognized immediately and was usable.
Driver problems as with Acer laptops in this price range I've also can not determine.
Conclusion: Those who do not expect to get a notebook of premium class for this price, which is well served by a regular working tool.
