I have no real problems with the design and performance of this laptop, except for the trivial problem that it attracts fingerprints like mad. I do have a huge problem with Acer, which provides NO support for the OEM version of Windows 7, even under the warranty period. Before buying, please be clear on what the warranty covers: It covers 1 year of hardware support only. The only other support is that for 3 months, Acer will reinstall the software, but not provide any other form of support. I’m having a problem now where after two days the laptop stopped seeing the Windows XP computers on my network. As a result I have no practical way of transferring files. In summary: If you have any Windows problems, you have to rely on community support or fee-for-service support from Microsoft or Acer’s own version of paid support. I’m not sure what service other manufacturers provide these days when it comes to the OEM Windows version, but if there are better options, I would strongly consider this before making a decision to purchase this computer.

The best of both world. As small as a netbook, but with all the power of any standard laptop. Windows 7 makes it run a bit slower than I was expecting, but overall a fantastic deal! Rating: 5 / 5

Someone broke into my house and swiped my two netbooks. I took the insurance money and bought this Acer. What a great computer. It is lite weight, fast and smooth. It is very intuitive to run. Instruction book and technical support did not know that the button to turn on the wireless is under the wireless light on the lower left side but other than that I haven’t had a problem. I purchased this because I wanted the 4G for photography. I am very pleased. Rating: 5 / 5

I’m a computer professional and picky about computers. This is an awesome computer because its extremely light and comparatively powerful and battery long lasting. This is a tiny machine and kind of waify in a good way. Carry it with you everywhere. The machine is fast out of hibernation and generally there is no drag. Blue LEDs look nice. Great beautiful display, but 1366×768 is not a full size and you will wish you had more vertical pixels at times. Must fine tune the display pixel size and zoom the browser for older eyes. I’ll take the compact/light over the extra pixels – referring to 3. 1 lbs vs 4. 3 lbs – its a big diff to me. Keys are not ideal but can be navigated. Keep hitting “]” when I hit enter- DOH!! Arrow keys are 1/2 size – yuck – c’mon Acer. Mouse buttons are thin and tiny – too much so – ouch. Its probably more a recreational computer than a student’s research computer due to limited screen size/keyboard. The Blue is nice. I love it for what it is and not for what it is not. Hope this helps. Rating: 5 / 5

I chose this Acer 11. 6 inch laptop over a netbook, because I wanted a small, lightweight form factor, but with real computing power, so I could do more than just surf the net.
Pros:
Lightweight, vey portable.
Intel Core 2 Duo processor much more powerful than Atom processors in netbooks.
Plenty of RAM and large hard drive for an ultralight.
Crisp, sharp display; 1366 X 768 resolution provides nice coverage without too much scrolling.
Wireless range is good (using 802. 11g, haven’t tried Draft-N yet).
Comfortably-sized keyboard for such a small laptop.
Touchpad is smooth and accurate; multi-touch takes some getting used to.
Battery life is excellent! (I haven’t tested it for 8 hours straight, but using it periodically throughout the day, I think it would come close. Laptop Magazine’s test indicated 8 hrs, 45 min. on their standard battery test.
Plenty of ports – 3 USB, HDMI!!, multi-card reader.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit; I like this OS much better than Vista.
Cons:
Bottom left side gets fairly warm, but I can use it directly on my lap without any discomfort.
Not really a con, but something to be aware of: no optical drive; but that shouldn’t be expected in an ultralight like this. I bought an external USB DVD drive which works fine when I need one.
Here’s a link to Laptop Magazine’s review if you want an independent technical review:
[. . . ].
I’ve had this laptop for about a month now, with no issues (hardware or software). That means I also haven’t needed to use Acer’s technical support, so I can’t comment on that.
I would recommend this laptop to anyone looking for an ultrportable with more computing power than a netbook.
