    is there anyone out there looking to buy this laptop and would like me to write a review?

    the main thing that i love about this laptop is the price point! and the battery life that comes with it! im at around 5 hours on full, lowest brightness, power saver mode on. the lid is sexy as hell and the laptop is built well, and the LED is very bright.


    things i dislike are the left shift key. WHY ACER WHY MAKE IT SO SMALLL... and i dont like how theres a numpad either, they shouldve just taken the space from the numpad and made the overall keyboard layout alot nicer, right now it looks too cramped with too much going on. Right now the CULV is running alright, hoping to install w7 this week to make it run alot faster.

    I have one too, and I love the number pad. I do some data entry with this laptop and it comes in real handy.

    The price was my major purchase point. I wasn't even aware of the battery life when I bought it..its more of a bonus for me..

    well because of the numpad the shift on the leftside is incredibly tiny and i have to look down when i want to use it.
