"I've owned the Acer for 3 days and have ran it through a gantlet of test. The goods first. I play a popular MMO and need a new machine to run it after the desktop hard drive burnt up. So I did some research and was looking for a simple priced machine for the go. I came across the ACER first and had what I wanted. Full keyboard with a number pad right next to it. Sensitive touchpad that can get tricky to use. I p..." Read Full Review »
