Great, except for monitor viewing angle and touch-pad buttons,
Cons:
—–
Acer has too low a LCD viewing angle on this one at least. Put on a black image full screen, and you see a “rainbow” on the screen — black is real black only on the rainbow and everywhere else it is gray. Tilt the screen a bit and red turns pale green. It does not both though under normal scenarios. I checked other laptops on the shop floor and they all have this effect more or less, usually much less though. It also seems that contrast-ratio of the Acer screen is very small.
Left and right clicks on the touch pad are too loud.
Pros/Others:
———–
Great deal! No where else I find a laptop with 17.3″ screen with 1600×900 resolution with Core i3 processor (instead of Dual Core or Core 2 Duo) and 4 GB RAM.
Processor speed, even though this is Core i3 and not Core i5 or i7, is just great. Windows experience index is 4.5 for Aero graphics but > 5 for everything else. It played Full HD AVCHD media full screen just fine with around 6% CPU load (even though this is integrated Intel graphics and not dedicated ATI or NVidia graphics card).
There were no dead pixels on the screen.
Touch-pad is multi-touch, which is really nice. This takes you more than half-way to having full touch-screen. I do not need touch-screen anymore given the cost premium!
It has glossy screen which is ideally not preferable but is in fashion these days. I do not like glossy screens as such but found this OK.
No flaws so far with anything. Keyboard keys are good as well. Wireless worked fine. All 4 USB ports, HDMI port, headphones port, DVD drive, all are working fine. Webcam is good as well. Only the costliest Logitech webcams do better than this. Speakers are better than my old laptop.
Only remaining thing to test are wired ethernet connection, burning DVDs, and battery life.
For all the good things people say about Windows 7, it still has the same issues as Vista or XP. I was trying to unplug an SD card and it says “some process is using the file” (windows issue, never tells which process).

|Great deal, great price equals one great laptop.,
I am very happy with every aspect of this laptop. It fit my budget and had all the features of the more pricey laptops. I have not encountered any problems in any way with this unit. I would recommend this for anyone.
I have always had nothing but great products from Sony, so this only adds to their great product line.
One last thing, I found out that Acer is owned by Sony
