This laptop is with me since a bit less than 2 years. I got it from London and I go it because one, I wanted to try Acer Aspire as a brand, two, it was a friends recommendation and three, it was affordable.
I switched from first generation of Dell Inspiration to Acer Aspire, therefore I missed the smooth keyboard, vivid screen and sound quality. Acer Aspire disappointing me with its screen quality and volume but it is lighter. Keyboard is good but keys are spread out therefore it is much of an effort to type fast.
It is a basic laptop not for gaming and as I said the volume is a real put down. Also the laptop seems durable and in these two years the software is fine.
I must say this laptop survived in the market two years back but today one has a lot of good options in the given price range. I wouldnt recommend any one to buy this laptop in todays time.
