It is indeed a solid laptop

This is a great laptop bar none. I love the bio-metric reader, it can be a bit temperamental (too fast, too slow, or failed). IT IS HEAVY, but this is a desktop replacement and not meant for galavanting across the country with it. I easily get 8 hours on the battery (I stripped a lot of the fancy stuff from Windows 7 and enabled power saver). My only qualm is the performance; I bought Sim City 4 and tried to max out the settings only to have lag and other annoying issues. Not what I expected from an 8 gig rig with 2 gig dedicated gpu an I7 processor that can go up to 2.9 GHz. And if your wondering about the sub-woofer it is freaking boss.

Mixed results

The keys are falling off of this laptop, and I've only had it for 3 weeks. Acer wants me to send it back for repair, which could take 5-7 days.

Heavy

This laptop is extremely heavy. I wish I would have know that before my purchase. The mouse is awkward to use and not as responsive due to it being portable. I would have selected a different computer had a know these 2 things. The computer itself is fine. I would not buy again.

Dreadful screen

Pros: Fast, 4 memory slots, keyboard, thin. Cons: 5400rpm hard drive , goofy touchpad, and a DREADFUL screen. I couldn't believe that this was an LED backlit. The color is so off that my colorimeter had a difficult time color correcting it and then after color correction, everything had a pink hue. It's VERY dim. My measured light output was about what the reviews at an avg 200 cdm2 but that was half the light output of my current 17 avg 400 cdm2. The contrast and brightness shift and wash as you move the screen back and forth. If you want to add a second hard drive, it's almost impossible to find the mounting hardware. When I located it, it was almost a hunred bucks for the parts. Bottom line. I found the laptop unacceptable and returned it the next day for a refund.

An Awsome Laptop

I am using this laptop in my 3D Design work. It is critical that I get the most bang for the buck. I was concerned when I heard you could not get the hardware for the second hard drive. After much research including several phone calls I found the bracket and cable from Acer's U.S. parts distributer. All is well!
