Excellent but short-lived.... - A. Hoeft - Washington, DC USA
I have loved my Acer and wish I could give it five stars. Its processing power has been plenty for all my uses, and my full-sized hunk of a laptop hasn't left the closet since I got this guy. Keyboard is big enough for normal typing, it's nice and lightweight, and looks great.
I would have loved to give this guy five stars, except that it has some cheap hardware that has caused consistent problems for many users, including myself. And it doesn't take very long for the problems to crop up.
For my computer specifically, I have one major and one minor complaint:
MAJOR PROBLEM: cheap connection between computer and screen is already starting to fail. Only four months into its life, the screen went completely green after flickering a few times earlier in the day. The computer itself was running great; it hadn't crashed and I was able to log off using the keyboard shortcuts (I could hear the logoff sound).
The screen started working again, and for the past two months, I've gotten occasional flickering and my webcam "connects" and "disconnects" constantly throughout the day, another indicator that the connection from the monitor is failing.
I've owned it for seven months now, and I'm concerned it won't even last a year before the screen's connection fails for good. And considering the cheap price, I doubt the cost to fix it is going to be worthwhile! I'm really worried.
Minor problem: the latch at the bottom of the netbook that keeps the battery locked into place is extremely loose and unlocks often, making the battery slide out...bad if you're off wired power.
