Style Name: Core i5 Verified Purchase
Pros:

-Exactly what I was looking for in a laptop:
--1080p screen in 15.6" size
--i5 CPU
--no additional GPU needed
--more than 6GB ram
--Touchscreen unnecessary
--Ideally under $600
-I like the keyboard. The key presses are a bit heavy, but it registers everything I type.

Cons:

-The bloatware is unreal, including some malicious software. Ironically, the pre-loaded McAfee picks up some of the other pre-loaded bloatware as Trojan viruses. Great software bundling there, Acer. I've spent an hour uninstalling junk and I'm still not done. -1 star for this, it's that much of a pain.

Other thoughts:

-I would have preferred a ~240GB SSD to the 1TB HDD, but I can swap it out later myself. This (and losing the bloatware) would have made the laptop perfect, and kept the same price.

Overall I would recommend this laptop to a friend that requires a general purpose tool with good screen real estate without breaking the bank, and doesn't intend on any heavy gaming.

Style Name: Core i5 Verified Purchase
As far as hardware goes, this machine is great for the $599 price at the time of purchase.

ISSUES:
Intel Graphics software - I was unable to play audio through HDMI with the installed graphics driver. Had to contact Acer support about the problem, for which they provided a link to an older version of the driver to fix the issue. Solved. Not a huge pain, but should not have been necessary.

Bloatware - Much of the pre-installed Acer software causes a drag on initial performance. Thankfully they are not required (had to Google the names to determine this), so they were quickly uninstalled.

Screen Resolution - I've never had anything higher than 1600x900 (on a 17" laptop), so going up to 1080p on a 15" was quite a strain on the eyes. Simple solution was to set my preference via Intel Graphics and restart the computer. All is well.

Clickpad - I am not a fan of trackpads with integrated mouse buttons inside. If my left finger is resting where the physical left button *would* be, I cannot two-finger-scroll with my right hand. Additionally, there seems to be a slight delay between setting your finger down to drag the cursor and when the cursor actually starts to move. So much for "Precision."

Audio - Because there is only one port for combined speakers/headphones & mic, they really should have included a separate mic for the webcam. Personally I don't have much use for the webcam at all, so I can deal with it.

No optical (CD/DVD) drive - External drives are pretty cheap.

These issues may seem like a lot, but I have found them to be only minor setbacks for a system with great specs for the price. Aside from the time involved with the graphics driver problem, everything else was relatively easy to overcome in my experience.
While this laptop may not be designed for high settings on games, it gets the job done for intense browsing, streaming, Photoshop, and music production.

Style Name: Core i5 Verified Purchase
Very satisfied with my purchase. I bought this computer for work, I wanted a relatively cheap student laptop and I was quite surprised how efficient this machine turned out to be. for $560 it's a great deal.

PROS:
-The HD 1080 screen is perfect for watching movies.
-The sound is absolutely fantastic, I even stopped using my ear-buds inside.
-Elegant aluminum cover.
-the price.
-Can handle some light gaming such as Skyrim and Counter strike GO.
-The battery life; from 5 to 7 hours depending on how you use your computer.

CONS:
-No DVD reader, I don't mind it personally but I could see how that might be a problem for some people.
-Windows 8. it sure needs some getting used to. and I think it has so many useless things at can be annoying at times.

I received this laptop in January. I bought it via amazon. I've had it for 5 months at most at the time of writing this. This machine is truly disappointing. It has many bugs, but the worst one of all is that the Display freezes. Basically if you move the laptop even slightly, you get a whole bunch of lines on your screen as if it froze in the middle of some rendering. Only moving the screen or bumping it slightly gets it to work, if you're lucky. Sometimes I spend a minute moving the display around to get it to actually work. I have not dropped this computer or hit it against anything. I always carry it using my laptop bag. I'm guessing that something in the display became loose, but I don't how or why such a thing would happen.

This is by far the most annoying thing I've had to deal with. I will try to return this as soon as I can, as this is my work laptop and backing up my software and files will take time, as will sending it back and waiting for a replacement.

I've been using this for about 3 months and it works exactly as I'd expect from looking at the specs and it is at a pretty good price point.

Now the reason I'm gonna give this 3/5 stars despite that is that this model is extremely difficult to take a apart to upgrade. I wanted to buy an SSD and replace the HDD, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to take this thing apart. There are small clips on the bottom that are on many modern laptop models that can be detached with a credit card (which I already hate) along with a plethora of screws. However, something is keeping the bottom of he laptop (which weirdly enough has all of the components mounted on it) attached at the hinges and I can't figure out how to open it. I've searched all over to see if someone knows how to disassemble this model with no luck. Once I figure out how to upgrade this laptop I might update the rating depending on what has to be done.
