This is the first time I’ve not bought a Mac for design work. I wanted a laptop with a drawing / touch screen included for on the go work. This was a good solution. It runs illustrator, photoshop and InDesign well. Colour screen is quite good as well. If you are wanting to save a little money over buying a MacBook and iPad separately this is a workable solution for graphic design and illustration.

I’ve ordered two laptops now. The first one had a broken fan and the second constantly got BSOD. This is my last attempt

First of all I must say I love this little machine. Im an artist who was looking for an entryway into digital art, and after a lot of research I decided this was the best fit for me. The laptop is compact and good for those with limited space, its a great alternative for people not wanting to buy a huge PC setup just to learn digital art like I was. Its also a very powerful little machine that rivals lots of other computers Ive seen.

I have been a Mac user for years so this laptop was the first non-Mac laptop that I had used in years and I was pleasantly surprised. The specs are awesome in terms of memory, hard drive space, speed, and processing. In terms of aesthetics and feel it is really beautiful to use and very cool. Cortana speaks when you first turn on the laptop and helps in the setup process which makes it very user friendly. Love the touchscreen aspect and the inclusion of the stylus. I am a blogger and do a lot of digital work for my blog so this laptop is definitely going to be a game-changer in terms of what I can do with it. Even though it is a gaming laptop, it is great for just daily use with Microsoft office but it is true to its name it is a creators laptop. If you create a lot of digital work then this is the laptop for you.

DO NOT BUY!! This is a defective model. It is very unstable with its GPU it goes offline and produces blue screen errors. There is a similar review here. We tried everything even replaced the mother board through warranty but it has the same problem so it means it’s a design engineering defect…

Look, this is a really cool concept for a laptop. A laptop for creators and artists to be able to take their work on the go, that’s what this laptop advertises itself as. It presents itself as a laptop, but with the desktop power to be able to handle heavier programs. The screen moves and comes out for whatever it is you need, but the reality is, the laptop is too compact to truly be able to handle my programs. Simply running things like Adobe Illustrator or small games and the laptop’s fans are louder than the actual fan in my room. I also quickly ran into audio issues, and the laptop itself has stopped playing sound out of the speakers entirely. I’ve only had the laptop for a day. Acer has produced many good laptops that can handle resource-heavy programs/games, and their Concept D models haven’t all been bad, but I believe this one just seems to be a simple laptop with a few more buffed specs. If you’re looking for a sleek compact design for good day to day laptop, this is a good choice. But as for anything much more than that, you’d probably be better off with an actual heavy duty gaming laptop.

Horrible experience with this laptop. It just died this week, with all my information on there.

Many people comment on how jittery the AES screen is. When product first arrived, it was indeed very hard to get a straight line, and pen pressure was a little funky. However, Acer has since released a BIOS update available on their site which significantly improves things. Laptop performance and design was always great, but since the touchscreen update its an excellent choice.

Easy to use out of the box. Easy to transport. Hardware seems really durable. Love the white color and backlit keys. Tilt screen is awesome! It would be great if it had a secondary interior screen so that when youre using it in presenter mode (i.e., when the screen is flipped completely outward) the presenter could still see whats being displayed. Wish it came with more software (Adobe, Microsoft). Shipping was very fast!

Bought this around April. Really good for editing videos, but now its fans are getting so loud. Its unbearable.
