It seems like a good computer to me. I'm partial to HP myself. It sounds pretty much like the laptop I intended to buy as my backup computer in March or April. I was involved in a project and didn't want to take my HP 8130 DV7 which is my Laptop but also my primary computer back and forth between home and away. So I boght an ACER with pretty much those specifications to be my away computer. Then the project fell apart and I let the ACER sit around having never used it. I should also mention that I had emergency surgery and lost most of my remaining eye sight and never installed JAWS or Magic on it so never got a look at it either.
However about ten days ago my HP which is a premium computer and my baby lost it's hard drive I remembered the ACER and got it out and installed my JAWS and MAGIC on it. I had ordered it on Amazon. Imagine my surprise when I realized they sent me the wrong computer all those months ago. It has a bigger hard drive, faster processor, and super duper wammer jammer DVD writer. The only thing wrong with it is crappy sound. It even has HEART DISEASE cinematic video and a Radeon 1 gig video card which I didn't order. But the sound is very crappy. I'm about 8 months too late to complain and they got the short end of the stick anyway because I didn't pay for all the bells & whistles I got. However, I might need to get a USB sound card or something. It's 100% volvume is equal to my HP 40% volume.
