This is amazing!
NOTE:Online it says that the screen is glossy, which the seller confirmed when I asked. However, when I got the laptop the screen is matte (or Acer ComfyView). I have no problem with that since I wanted a matte screen, but just something to be aware of.Still haven't tried the BlurayDisc Drive or any video games to see that GTX 760M in action. I will update the review when I try some games. (The ones I have - Fallout: New Vegas, Bioshock, Bioshock 2).Also, I never tried the speaker since I use the ATH-M50 headphones whatever I do.PROS:- As expected, Intel delivered with their i7 processor. That thing is fast!- SSD and HDD combo is unbeatable! It boots in less than 10 seconds.- The Full HD screen looks amazing (especially when you update to Windows 8.1 which solves pixelated icons).- Windows 8 is not bad at all, as I expected it would be. If you stay away from that new interface you basically have a Win 7. And it also has a few new little things I really liked.- I don't even know what to say about USB 3.0, it's that fast! I used the SanDisk Extreme 32gb flash drive and transffered 7gb of music in 1 minute and 35 seconds!CONS: There's only one con I have so far, and it's so small it's dumb to even write anything.- No light for Caps Lock! I have used it for only a couple of days and it happens way to often that I don't know if Caps is on or off. Again, this is very minor. It should never affect the purchase of this PC.For this price, I don't think you will find anything better than this. Definetely recommended to everyone who likes casual gaming and (very) fast everyday tasks.

ZERO STARS
I am a seasoned IT person. I have several computers...mostly dell and hp which I have never had any serious issues with. I bought this system in oct of 2013 as an early Christmas gift to myself. I had difficulty with it from the start. especially when I moved from one location to another the wireless is just haywire...and yes I updated all drivers...then there's windows 8.1...what a crock. anyway I tried to power this thing up today to continue a model in zbrush which I only kept in quicksave so now I've lost it, and the stupid piece of crap will not even load windows. I called because of course it's under warranty and I got a guy in india who didn't seem to know anything about the system and he said I had only ONE option to send it to TX for repair. I asked him why it needed repairing what was wrong and got some bull. so now I have a 1k piece of crap....what could I use it for? a dinner tray...warning stay away from this. do research and see all the other problems folks are having with acer and windows 8.1. I hate windows 8.1 on this computer and the computer was ok until it quit working in a little over 6 months. I do 3d modeling and photo editing on it. not anymore time to pull dell out. goodbye acer...wish I could say been nice knowing you but I cant...pitiful customer service and sorrow product....and to anyone looking for a nontablet with windows 8.1 I would not advise it...I much prefer windows 7.

I am satisfied with the seller
A previously posted review, I described a line down the center of screen. This was after 30 days of receipt of product. Acer now has the computer and is fixing / replacing the problem. I am satisfied with the seller. Arrived in excellent condition.Timster

and the machine runs beautifully. I have had a few overheating issues lately
Bought this from Newegg back in April 2014 for $1,200. It works wonders! One thing that Acer oddly forgets to mention is a third HDD slot for another hard drive. Recently added a 500GB SSD, and the machine runs beautifully. I have had a few overheating issues lately, but I've also been in Afghanistan for the past few months, so it's expected. Blow the dust out, and it's good to go! Surprisingly I haven't tried maximizing the RAM, but at 12GB it's not really necessary. Games run great, especially heavily modded ones such as Skyrim and GTA:V.Not sure what it is going for now, but this machine has been a beauty and is a blessing to have around for Skyping with the family, and catching movies, music and games.TL:DR - A worthwhile purchase! Not disappointed by any means - Get it! :-)

LOVE this computer! Got for college.
I bought this computer for college and it's been amazing. I've had it for over a year now and haven't had any significant problems. I can't even begin to list all the pros, and my only complaints are that the battery doesn't last as long anymore (which is to be expected) and it's heavy. But it also has the huge screen so it's also to be expected. Love it!
