    (before I start let me say i'm an IT professional and worked on many, many laptops)

    I got this thing 'open box' from newegg, the reason the person returned it, he managed to activate the administrator account in Win8 and with the exception of initially logging in, it does not let him re-login (says the account is disabled on wake/lock)

    laptop itself in excellent condition.

    I loaded Win7 on it, got all the latest drivers from the manufacturers (intel chipset, HD graphics, GT730, Intel IME, realtek, atheros...etc etc)

    Probably one of the saddest thing about it is it does not support the generic synapitics driver. It is an Elan pad, but i've gotten the generic synapitics driver loaded on elan pads before on lenovos. I used an older driver, I used the synaptics driver for the V3-772 from Acers site, updated the bios to the latest version (2.16 to 2.21). I LOVE chiral scrolling, and I will miss it. If anyone has an alternative, PLEASE speak up. I will love you long time

    to the main issue. I close the lid and it goes to sleep just fine, open the lid...I have to press a button on the keyboard to get it to wake up. Before you say 'hibernate'...i'm talking about opening the lid a few seconds after I close it

    I love this laptop cause of the dual HDD bays and the GT730 (great for video editing and games)

    please help me
