As per other Acer models this one of the worst. I have used it from my friend. The value for money is total waste according to me as Acer notebooks are costly than other brands. Not at all user friendly and battery life also not good after few months of use. I think it would last more than 1 year. The overall performance is also not good. Altough the support of Acer is good. I will never go for this model although its a good brand.
