Helpful consumer’s review
I have used this computer for about three weeks and love it so far. The computer comes with a couple Acer programs that are very useful, my favorite being Acer GridVista. This allows you to divide up your screen and pin windows to each division. Since the computer is a wide screen, I can easily write about a set of data that is pinned to the right on a word processing document pinned to the left while still having both large enough to read. The monitor is crisp, and the webcam more than enough for clear video chat. My only problem this far is that the computer has frozen on me twice when i have left it alone for a couple of hours. Upon restart, it is fine. I would suggest this machine to anyone, especially those who need to frequently write about documents online, in PDF, PowerPoint or Excel. Using the Acer Grid program to prevent flipping back and forth is a huge time/frustration saver. I would also suggest turning off the mouse pad zoom feature immediately, it is a tad annoying.
