Great Laptop for the money!!!,
Yes, agreeing with one of the other reviews, I agree that the speakers are monotone, but buying a laptop for sound quality is ill-advised. I usually use headphones while watching movies or listening to music anyways. This laptop is not for gaming purposes, so if that’s your intent…look elsewhere. If you’re looking for a value laptop, you cannot pass this up! A $500 laptop with an Intel I3 processor is too good to be true! This is my 3rd laptop and I now rarely ever use any of the others. Compare the processing power of the I3 processor against all of the other processors in this price range at [...] and then make your choice. Intel’s new line of processors is without comparison. My desktop has an Intel I7 and is unsurpassed by most anything on the market. If you’re looking for a laptop that will handle most people’s standard operations…look no further. As far as the McAfee problem in the reviews…anti-virus software requires special removal tools that have to be downloaded from the designer’s website, so you cannot simply uninstall with Windows stock software. The keys are flat, so if you have typing issues…this could be a problem for you. Beware that Toshiba laptops (which I also own) utilize very similar flat keyed keyboards. My other laptop which is a Compaq has a dual core processor (also upgraded to 4 GB of Ram) and does not compare to the speed of this laptop, so if you want a fast laptop for watching movies, surfing the web, or doing mass amounts of spreadsheet and business modeling (which is what I do)…then this is an outstanding purchase!

|Pretty durn good,
Received this item in TWO days using standard free shipping! It was packaged inside a cardboard box, inside a cardboard box, inside a cardboard box. So, no damages.
Booted right up in Windows 7 with no hassles. Only took me about 20 minutes to remove the bloatware (might take you longer if you want to remove the Acer backup etc. software. I chose to keep it for the time being).
Keys are a little too flat for my taste. As a touch typist I prefer contoured keys and keys that press down a bit more than these do. The screen is very shiny, so working with a backlight or in bright sun might have a problem with reflections. Webcam does have a slight lag, even on the lowest resolution setting. These are the only negatives for me so far.
Two USB ports on the right side, one USB on the left, so lefthanded folks who want to attach a real, corded, mouse can do so. The textured plastic case is a nice touch for avoiding fingerprints.
