  • Pros
    fast ops, great battery, low cost
  • Cons
    boot up is a little slow

just bought this one which atually came with a GeFirce 520 so it must have been updated since this review, only paid 578 after cash back and ws also sceptical about teh Acer brand
so far it's excellent and out performs anything else i've looked at in this price bracket

  • Pros
    the lid
  • Cons
    the cooler

This laptop gets hot. The cooler starts every 45 seconds and makes a stupid noise. Overheating. Has only one speaker. No bluetooth. web cam is poor. integrated microphone is bad, in rest is ok :)
