I have owned this laptop for the last year and it hasn't disappointed me. It is relatively quick, has a good sized HDD and has a fairly good battery capacity. The webcam is not the best quality, especially when a room isn't brightly lit. It is also fairly light and easy to handle. It came pre loaded with Windows Seven, which is also good value as that can cost a lot if purchased on its own. It is reliable too; aside from the usual minor software glitches that can occur day to day, the Acer has not once crashed on me, lost any of my personal files or data or forced me to restart the system as a result of bad hardware. All in all, for the price I paid , this is excellent value for money and if you're looking for a good quality, medium priced laptop for general everyday use then the Acer comes highly recommended.
