First of all:
- I have no wireless problems! It runs like clockwork!

Since yesterday, come with me to different Access Points massive wireless problems!
These are manifested by Windows first reports with yellow rings that the wireless connection is established, but is not an Internet connection available.
However, this is wrong. It no longer comes to the router in the internal network.
Disabling the card and re-helps most.
The error occurs in the meantime several times a day, but irregularly.
I've tried different drivers. The whole thing is very strange because it worked flawlessly for 2 weeks :(
I'll probably see if I get a replacement card. To send the whole laptop, me is just too stupid.
In a pinch, you can also work with a USB wireless stick, but that's not the point of it: - /
1 star deduction for wireless, but otherwise I love the device, still good 4 star!

*********** EDIT 2 **********
****************************
****************************
I bought on spec, a new wireless card (Intel 7260-AC) and installed them. It remained the same error!
I decided my Windows Backup from aufzuspielen again a week ago and since then the problem has disappeared!
The wireless cards are therefore both ok.
It was clearly a software problem, but I could not clearly locate it.
The Convertible runs like a one and I'm very happy with it :-)
This re-deserved 5 stars!

- After the first start, after everything was set up so far, not switched to 3D applications, the GPU on the NVIDIA card in order,
no matter what I had set in the driver, here it was necessary to remove the driver and of the
NVIDIA page to get the latest. After that, everything was wonderful!
- Keyboard: Illuminated (! Very important) and the spacebar to be something more to be depressed center -> press while playing with the thumb only at the bottom, is often not enough, but this is pure "habituation thing", I think!
***************
THE DEVICE:
***************
(I'm a little more on the (gaming) performance, because I do not much found in many, many other reviews about it)
There are the following version: Intel i7 3537U (HD4000 integrated graphics), Nvidia GT 750M, 256GB SSD (MSATA) hard drive, 8GB RAM, Windows 8 (update to 8.1, there is now in store and worth it!).
I bought the machine as a "warehouse Deal" for 1110 EURO.
The device should be "used - like new" and actually be the unit has arrived in great condition with me (from a very small and inconspicuous Macke apart the back of the laptop lid!).
***************
DELIVERY:
***************
Completely. (Mouse, stylus, USB / LAN adapter, VGA adapter, power adapter, manuals, cleaning cloth, cardboard ...)
***************
EXPERIENCE:
***************
The R7 start Windows 8.1 in an estimated 10 seconds.
You can tell no difference between Standby mode or completely shut down and reboot!
It is simply a mega quick !!
The performance in games is absolutely satisfactory.
I've tested a few titles:
Battlefield 3: (Settings AUTO) = between 25 and 50 FPS, definitely playable and much better than expected! :-)
Starcraft II: all settings Maximum = 35-50 FPS - very playable (low settings -> correspondingly more FPS)
Diablo III: all settings Maximum = 60+ FPS!
Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn: settings "Notebook agent", 35-60 FPS, depending on the "Action".
CS: GO (all settings max) = 60-100 FPS!
***************
BENCHMARK:
***************
I made several passes with 3DMark06 Defaults - and kept coming as 14500-15000 points.
Have no comparison found from the same device, so I hope my other values may serve to compare someone to hire)
More Games I have not yet installed, but they are ever so my data that can help one or the other possibly (hopefully) in the purchase decision!
***************
Having compared the CPU (3537U) with those from 1399 EUR Model (4500U) (Google: cpuboss + 3537 + 4500), the decision merely less power fell on the older model, since the performance of CPUs is approximately equal, the newer consumed - 30 Minutes more battery life should not be an important criterion for me but. The battery lasts in my version about 4 hours (according to indication) - I measured it but not yet.
I once made the evening on battery about 2 hours with darkened display what the school (Office), after which the battery was still 76%, which would be extrapolated for office application with little brightness ca certainly shown, however, at least 6 hours 8 hours , A great value!
As a tablet, the device is of course advised extremely large, but the touch control is fun, on the couch, or even so, when you close the display brings to the keyboard, at the desk.
***************
I really can not say anything negative. I am highly satisfied with the device, which is gaming performance, as described, for my purposes, more than enough - I really like to play - so I was long undecided whether the performance would be good enough - but the purchase was worth it!
***************
The device's just fun!
***************
I've already screwed, inside is still a free space for a proper SSD drive.
The built MSATA SSD is more of a "card". So I'm going to expand the unit at times to another SSD :-)
***************
I hope to have helped with the review someone!

EDIT 3: With regard to the retrofitting of a SSD hard drive I got from Acer after a short time a very good and detailed answer:
***************
"We are delighted that you have decided on an Acer notebook to answer your question.
You will need the disks frame (SKU: 33.M9UN2.004) and the HDD Adapter (SKU: 20.M9UN2.001)
We hope that you use this manual, Mr. Laws. "
***************
The two parts I could order for just over EUR 30 on the Internet.
(However, you should daily advance whether with you a 2.5 "hard disk is installed, or as in my case a 256GB MSATA" map "as a hard disk!)
