This is my sons computer. He is a student and likes it well enough, but he bent the little prong on the charger that came with it and its been nearly impossible to find a decent replacement. Its turned into one of those quality of life issues that makes you want to cut your losses and buy a new computer. Acer does not sell one on their website. If you google the make/model, you find some kind of sketchy sellers you might not want to trust. There are some for sale on e Bay that fit, but not quite right, so that the battery warning (which you cant turn off) will beep constantly if you move it while its plugged up. Caveat Emptor!! PS if you have your heart set on this computer (September 2020), wait. I paid half of its current price ($695) last December. This is definitely not worth what theyre asking for it now.

Bought for my son for his freshman year of college. Stopped working 2 days before his first day. of class. Called support snd was told it will take at over 10 days to get fixed. Nothing like adding more stress to a freshman student. This repair time is unacceptable.

One of my keys popped off, and i HATE the fact that I can’t do my schoolwork sometimes because it NEVER wants to connect to the internet.

Grat purchase. dont think it twice.

I’m not a gamer

Well satisfied,best bang for the buck.

It is heating while charging and is not fast on working, not satisfied.

I really dislike the number pad (keys are smaller and have an unusual orientation). I wish the home and end keys were their own buttons as usual. The laptop speed is terrible when Im on my work remote desktop. Even a bit slow when Im using it normally.

I love my new laptop. Its super fast! Very lightweight, but it does hurt my back if Im carrying it around longer than an hour. The screen is very nice-Im glad I decided to spend the extra money to get a laptop with full HD. For those wondering about the fan, its not that loud. I noticed it at first but now I dont even hear it. Most of the time I have a fan on in my room and I cannot hear the laptop fan over that. I love the backlit keyboard too. Battery life is ok, but something has to give, right?

Initially this laptop was great, fast processing, great picture. Then after 9 months the touch pad quit working and I could not reset it. Then just 3 weeks later it wouldnt turn on unless it was plugged in. Sad that it did not even make one year with light use.
