I have long wondered whether it "should be touch screen or prefer a large 17" a handy 10 wegputzen screen without constant fingerprints. My device insert is rather steady, so large screen with more possibilities and DVD drive have won.
The keyboard I really like the rounded corners. The large touchpad can already gestures such as scrolling and zooming. Treasures the next generation can then already pin.
Preinstalled is pleasantly low, only Microsoft Office, Norton backup and antivirus software. A few queries from Win8 and the box is running. Unfortunately, there is only one partition, I've always liked my data away from the operating system.
The first two days is busy only with updates for Win8 the computer. Then the redeeming message comes in the store: The update to Win8.1 is available. Those who want the same update to 8.1, you must download the appropriate file from the Microsoft Web page and saves the previous updates.
Unfortunately, I had made a mistake.
When commissioning the new my old laptop online and Windows has been synchronized immediately grip and without my help with all faults. The result: Win8.1 could not be installed, attached to the middle of the Installaton. Omigod and Kehrwieder never. The new computer only not stopped going out and then on, a very bad sign. Now good advice was expensive. But before I einpacke everything again, I have the device registered to the Acer page is finally paid, and thus my :). When registering my support is noticed. I could try a technical live chat within a short time. This has worked wonderfully. With his help, the device could even be returned to their previous state, nothing is lost, absolutely love it.
Many thanks to the Acer-employee, I feel again as a customer.
If both computers are logged on to the same online Microsoft ID, I can pull my files on the network from one computer to the other. It's that easy with Win8.
