I have had this lappy for around 3 weeks now, and i have been pleased with its performance in all areas, first off here are some pictures:
Screen closed at an angle
Screen open at an angle
Screen open from one side
The notebook has the specifications listed in my signature and performs well in areas of my need which are webdevelopment, email, word processing and of course watching DVD's when the boss isn't around. This notebook is in my view and based on my purchase budget (cost me $1300USD roughly with extended warranty) is a good deal for what you get. I only have a gripe with the desktop graphics which although better than the older chipset, still is not ready for anything beyond basic video and multimedia.
The power management program is excellent and on low power consumption, i manage 5hrs, 23minutes based on 3 averaged tests. If i set the entertainment profile active i manage around 3 hours and 30 minutes also great.
Problems: Case not very ressiliant to scratching, specifically side opposite the screen. Easy to avoid if treated properly of course!, i find it weird that Acer's choice in placing the wireless/bluetooth adapter switches on the front a bit strange as it is commonly a problem as i bump it alot which can interupt work.
My score: 7/10
