I often use my computer to monitor a USB connected video camera. I have no problems surfing the web, listening to music and monitoring my camera all at once with this computer. I have purchased and used many different brands of computers over the years, this is my second Acer and my experience with Acers has always been positive. -- Multi-tasks well
I received this item very quickly and in very great condition. Love this item very much. Seller was awesome answering my questions in a very speedy and professional way. I highly recommend this seller to other buyers. -- Acer laptop
Fast. Easy. Friendly. Windows 7 is the bomb. I am not a computer geek so anything that makes my work easier is GREAT. I waited too long to buy another computer. Plus, the price was right. -- Love it. Changed my life.
I'm a very experienced computer user; more than a so called "power user". The first thing I always do immediately after purchasing a new system is format, delete partitions, create new partition and install a fresh copy of my OS of choice. I like Win 7 64 bit, which this laptop comes loaded with, BUT THERE ARE NO DISCS INCLUDED!! Major mistake on ACER's part. The laptop is full of bloatware/nagware/etc. I know computer mfrs make money from software companies by installing this crap, but I hate it. I sent ACER an email concerning this, but not a response at all. I've heard bad things about ACER's lack of customer support and I'm beginning to believe it.
I did however get a good deal on this machine. $497.00 out the door - sales tax and all. It's for my Daughter's graduation/birthday/beginning college. It's fast, 4gigs (New Intel i3/4 gigs 1066Mhz DDR3/1066 Front Side Bus/320 HDD/LED/etc. (see tech specs). I like the rounded blue case. Nice feeling keys/touch pad as well.
Not full (1080P) HD, however downloaded HD vids and DVDs look pretty good. This Aspire is not able to play today's top 3D games with full blown eye candy (but my Daughter is going into Pre-Law and not computer graphics :)
If bloatware and being unable to reload OS (with an included disc - there are other ways however) is of importance to you, please be forwarned. -- Nice Laptop but full of BLOATWARE
I upgraded from a 8yr old celeron M laptop which handled my needs until I decided to get into HTPC. The core i3 processor is great for multi tasking. I stream video, work on text documents, or other research and the processor keeps pace. Get rid of the software included. Most duplicates what windows 7 already offers.
I purchased from amazon, and the shipment and price were great. I tried purchasing from other sites at lower prices but always found their terms restrictive or items out of stock. Great buy, and I would recommend. -- Awesome Upgrade
