I have an Acer V 15 laptop and let me tell you, it was a waste of $500. For the first year I had it, it functioned fine but not great - slow, the occasional freeze. Now, in the last couple of months, Ive seen an incredible decline in functionality. It freezes constantly doing the simplest of tasks - opening a new tab, adding a page break in a word document, or even just skipping to the next song in Spotify. I probably spend about half my time online waiting for the computer to respond. Its a total pain, and if I were you, Id spring for a Mac.
