The initial installation is done in 15 minutes, after which I have to remove myself first long busy the whole Acer apps from the system and the countless Acer ID requests or already repel almost afflictions. This whole cloud fuss is really annoying.
The system runs so purifies even a little faster.
The monitor is not anti-reflective, and so one often has the problem that you can look at yourself. Not necessarily suitable for outdoor use in sunshine. Otherwise, the display is very high resolution and high contrast.
The speakers are usually a bit poor as with laptop computers. But that is also design technically not possible otherwise. For normal applications, and even a movie but the sound is quite sufficient for a party sound of course is not enough
The webcam provides quite reasonable, somewhat pixelated images that also completely sufficient but for Skype.
The battery creates in mixed mode (movie, surfing, play a little) about 3 hours.
In pure mail or write time it also creates almost 5 hours.
The laptop is quite heavy with nearly 3 kg so I did not want to carry it around with me. Had me too bulky in size. But as a stand-alone device in the living room, it is ideal.
The drive hooked on my device when you close something you always have to shake a little. However, this has no effect on the burning or playing.
The keyboard responds very nice, but the slightly larger distances than normal bother me.
I can not write as fast as otherwise thereto. By this you have to get used to.
The touchpad responds to very precise and I think it's good that we can now use almost the entire field right and left Kling.
The laptop is enough for simple things like not intensive office programs, surfing, smaller games speak for normal household use.
However, if you want to edit a bit more frequently and in more detail photos, which should look for a laptop with more CPU power and memory.
For home use, this laptop is but an ideal, affordable and stylish solution.
Everyone itself must form his opinion about Win8, you also accustomed thereto located.
