Positives:
- Power:
The performance of the notebook is unbeatable for the price. Even hardware intensive games like Crysis can be played on medium details without any lag. Even at high details it comes rarely to stuttering.
Other games such as Modern Warfare 2 can be played smoothly on highest details.
- Touchpad:
I was able to test quite a few notebooks in almost every price range and have to say that I have such a good touchpad at this price point rarely seen.
The finger glides smoothly and lightly over the smooth touchpad held and also reacts very accurate. Laterally is still a now standard become scroll pad, which was marked for ease of use with guides.
- Keyboard:
Even when the keyboard I have to say kudos to Acer. The keys are individually housed and have enough distance to write well. The pressure point is also convinced. In this price range almost unbeatable.
- Design:
Well over design can be known to argue and is and remains simply a matter of taste. Me addresses the design. The notebook looks elegant and also the processing is fully in order. Only the drive is a little shaky but this unfortunately is normal for notebooks.
- Sound:
The sound is for a notebook in order. One can not expect perfect performance of laptop boxes especially not at a price of 715. For the daily needs, the sound quality is sufficient.
Negatives:
- Display:
In the built-up display, unfortunately it is a glossy display. This is installed by default in this price range which I personally find bad based on the not significantly higher rates of non-reflective displays.
Who wants to spend with his notebook but not outside all day will be able to ignore it without further ado.
- Hard disk:
There is installed a 320 GB hard drive or small. Effectively, however, are of only 280 GB usable. (Before you can uninstall my opinion unnecessary add-ons, it takes only 260 Gb).
This bothers me persönlcih but not because I was aware from the outset that I need an external hard drive on sooner or later.
Conclusion:
I would recommend this notebook to anyone who is looking for a cheap but very powerful notebook. For hardcore gamers, the notebook is certainly not enough for the "normal" users who also like to play however, it is very well suited. The negative aspects justify any path the withdrawal of a star.
