Pros & Cons
Pros
This is the fastest computer i have ever owned. Ssd is slightly slower than pcie (pretty much completely unnoticeable unless you're transferring 100gb files) i can stream movies via plex to my roku no problem.
The keyboard is illuminated (this may be disabled). The slots are plentiful, the full size keys are back-lit with a num pad. In a darkened room, i find myself hitting the shift key to turn the lights on. Big mouse pad, and backlit keyboard are plus.
The screen is 1080, full hd. It looks crisp, brightly colored and high quality. I also love the 1080 hd resolution it looked great while streaming the olympics.
Long battery life gets me thru 2 days of classes before i recharge. Wifi connection on my home network is solid, bluetooth has good range and easily paired to my wireless mouse and bluetooth headphone.
Light, thin, easy to carry. It seems acer laptops in my experience feel solid and not flimsy. If it lasts like my acer netbook naught but smiles on this purchase.
Cons
Camera looks pretty good/full hd screen (sort of)cons-the feel is very cheap, and nothing like a macbook as people compare this to. The battery did not last as long as advertised.

Been working for months without any problemsshut down and start up very quickmetal case edge very sharp and uncomfortable
The screen is large and i dont have much of an issue with glare or it being too dim as others have reported.
Price
Bought it for school at a great price.
This is a outstanding laptop for ~$600.
The ram is 8gb which is pretty de-riguer these day as is the 256gb ssd…just remember the swift 3 has all of this at under $700 ... Read More
This useless junk makes one think acer hates to miss any opportunity for a revenue stream even if it mars the user experience.
Packaging/appearance
The computer is fast, the packaging was secure and clean.
It’s easy and smooth to type and it’s fast and gets me to where i need to go not to mention it’s extrmely light so packing it o... Read More
Competitiveness
I got this because all of the hardware benchmarks are nearly identical to my macbook (which i love) for nearly half the price.
With the appearance and build quality of the acer knocking on the door of apple and with the hardware offered being a markedly ... Read More
As a suggestion, i think libreoffice is a much better alternative if you're looking for free office productivity software.
It isn't as fast as the much more expensive i7's, but except for the most demanding work, it's absolutely fine.
