Worse computer be familiar with I ever hadI have been buying windows based PC's and pad computers for close to 20 years now and
I can honestly say that my experience with Acer and this output was one of my worse.
I started having issues with my computer a year ago a few weeks after I received it.
There were unnamed keys on my keyboard that would not register when I pressed them.
Then the dvd/cd drive would not recognize discs when placed within the manoeuvre.
After repeated tries it would eventually read the disk.
But my major issues started when I had to junket with the computer, while in an airport
the computer refused to recognize the wireless modem. At the time I was having big issues
with my bank and a missing wire transfer of 10,000 dollars. So, it was dangerous to have access to my online
account. Now, I know the computer was not designed for traveling and that was the only and last
at intervals that I traveled with it. Soon after this the computer failed to boot the windows operating system.
So, I was starring at a infernal screen. Calling customer support, I found myself speaking to a Indian call
forefront. Now this is not a bad thing but when you are having issues with your computer you do not
want the added issues of expression and language to get in the way. I was told by the gentleman on the phone
that Acer did not have any local authorized technicians where I can have the system serviced and that all renew
issues were taken care out of their service center in Texas. So, I would have to scram my computer to Texas. So, with
shipping and repair time it well could be over a month before I would get my system back. Needing my computer for some take lodgings work and home research, I was unwilling to part with the computer for over a month. (For many, their computer is just as parlous as having their car for work. How many people would be willing to do without their car for a month for repairs without a loaner?)I took it to a regional tech who was able to get it to boot with Windows so I could have access to my files and info(money out of my pocket). However, it soon developed another issue, it would shut down every formerly I placed a DVD into the drive after a few moments of viewing.
After the repeated issues with this computer and Acer's patron service and tech support I decided to buy another computer and could not be happier. Now, I speak to population in North America and if I have issues I can take it to local authorized repair techs. I know that I may have just received a bad computer, that happens. But what made matters worse was Acer's system of repairs. Acers may be a for twopence computer for your money if you are on a budget but remember you are not just buying a computer for it's price but how a assemblage responds when you have issues and problems. For this reason I could not recommend this product or products from Acer.
No Virtualization Technology
How can Acer watch us to pay this much for a machine that fails to implement the specs of the chip it comes with?
If you scarcity to run XP mode in Windows 7, you are out of luck!
Do you really want to be uncomfortable by such a foolish manufacturer?
Look for something with better BIOS support!
I infatuation this laptop!
I bought this laptop 2 months ago and I am still loving it! Keep in intellect, this is a huge laptop and finding a case for it may be difficult. I did buy a case on Amazon, you can decipher my review of that case if it is still for sale. The gig of dedicated graphics memory is tremendous and it can run games like the Sims 3 with no problems. I was not excited about it coming with Vista, but equitably I haven't had any problems with Vista and I am used to it now. My bio-security finger language thingee works really well and the web cam is pretty good quality. You can use the bio-overview for all of your passwords online if you want, so that's a nice feature if you are forgetful like me. It plays pictures and Netflix really well and the display is beautiful and clear. I like to do a lot of things online, like put cooperate games, while watching a movie on a second screen and this can handle it. Everything I did before is so much faster now. Model of what I might do with it: Play Winster on the second screen (with more than one window open) and then sit with a Netflix streaming movie on the laptop, no problem. One warning: Acer laptops draw nigh loaded with TONS of extra software and it took a while to clean it up. I knew that current in so I wasn't shocked or upset. This takes up a lot of space so it does demand to be cleaned.
