The screen suddenly went black and there was no fan sound. It never worked again. I don't know what happened but the back-lights for the keys did turn on when a key was pressed, so I don't think it was a power issue. I submitted the Amazon return form and printed out the shipping label for free UPS return shipping. I'd purchased this directly from Amazon using Prime, so my replacement laptop arrived in only two days. Yeah, Amazon! In the past 25 years, I've had over a dozen laptops from all major vendors. Acer is my current favorite. My previous two laptops were Acer Aspires. My goals are to get an ultralight laptop that doesn't cost much and has the fastest computing that I can get for the price.

I put my ear up to it attempting to hear the smallest of movements but I just heard silence. As I'm writing this review, the bottom of the laptop is not even warm. It's almost cold to the touch. After setting it up, removing a bunch of bloatware, disabling a bunch of unnecessary startup programs, this thing starts up lightning fast. I'm talking 5-10 seconds max (from pressing the power button to the computer being unlocked). From a sleeping point maybe 2-3 seconds from pressing the button to unlocking it. The design is awesome, the keyboard is great for typing, and the back-lit keyboard is useful. So far I've been using this laptop just for using small applications and web browsing (I've been using it for 3 hours now with normal brightness) and the remaining estimated battery life is 4 hours and 33 minutes as I type...

Only have had it for a month, but no issues whatsoever. Boots up fast, and it's so light I have to double check it's in my bag sometimes. Perfect for students or writers who need something simple and efficient for their work. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? |
