Advantages: DHL will pick it up, free of charge

Disadvantages: it takes two weeks for them to 'fix it'

I bought this from acerdirect.co.uk, because the spec looked fantastic, too good to be true, especially for £500. I also bought the 3 year insurace which was a further £100. (I went for an acer because this was the make of my previous laptop, which ran smoothly for 6 years, up until the day it died.)When I got it, things started to go badly wrong. First it was the subwoofer which kept crackling. This was really annoying, because i am really into my music, and was one of the reasons i bought it in the first place. then the media keys gave up on me. i would press play, and the volume would go up, and vice versa. then the fingerprint scanner was getting less and less responsive. Finally, the keyboard and the mouse stopped working completly. I finally sent it in to acer. This is what was really annoying: it comes back TWO WEEKS LATER, and the speakers and the media keys are still screwed! Thias was yesterday. i rang them today, and they are picking it up tomorrow. I asked them if i could just get a new one, but apparently they need to have it 3 times before that can happen. DON'T BUY FROM ACER, AND DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!
