Sorry, I have another question. Would you recommend this or the acer iconia w700?

Better specs on the ASUS Taichi, and ASUS is known for high quality, while acer is know for poor quality, but longer life on the Iconia. It would depend on personal taste and intended use. The ACER iconia is a tablet while the ASUS Tiachi is a dual screen laptop/tablet.

I have a MAC but there are certain programs that seem to run better on PC, (Audible.com, Stamps.com) and i did not want to use Parallels program on the Mac.The Acer works great for me, no problems at all. I am satisfied with the Acer, especially for the price.. I hope this is helpful for you...Chuck

Call acer and give them the mod & ser # of your notebook and ask them what will work...Have a great day...Tim.

I run Windows7 and have not had a problem. As to if it will take more Ram ask Acer

I apologize I'm unable to help with your question. I sent the Acer back to the manufacturer.

For those of you interested in the successor model, the Acer Aspire One AO756 with Celeron processor has the same slide-forward, easy-off bottom panel for acces to RAM and hard drive for easy RAM upgrade and HD to SSD conversion. I just purchased the 2gb RAM, 320FB HD edition for $279 from Best Buy and added a second 2gb RAM module - lo and behold I discovered the mobo has 2 RAM slots! Didn't try going beyond 4 Gb though

Either one would be fine for browsing and word documents. So far my i5 has hardly been stressed at all even with some light gaming and HD streaming. The 6gb is nice, everything opens quickly and the UI is smooth.

My Acer died after only a year and 1 month. So I can't really answer your question other than to say I'd purchase a different one...

It depends on your use for the laptop. If you have an intense use or graphic intensive application you will see a difference but for non intensive tasks such as e-mail, spreadsheets (not too big), web browsing, etc you not notice a difference. On a more personal note if you feel the need to have the best or will not feel at ease go to i7 or even better to yoga 3...but there is always the matter of price.

it really depends on which one you buy. Acer offered a 16, 32, and a 64 GB memory. The one on the attached page is 32GB which means you are probably getting 30GB or so after the OS is taken away. The downside that I had with my iconia tab is that the flash memory couldn't be utilized. I heard this was a common problem. The important thing with this tablet is that the SD card expansion is pretty much useless, but the connection to cloud memory is useful. I have switched to an Asus and I like it much better.

Not a touchscreen. There is a good deal at Microsoft store for an acer v5 with a touchscreen for 500. It only has 4gb of ram and doesn't have a dedicated graphics card. If you don't want to run games or won't do any ram intensive work that is probably a better deal:more refined look and a touchscreen. If you want all these specs plus a touchscreen, amazon has an acer for 689 or in that range. I was already breaking the bank at 600 so I didn't go for that one.

I run it for basic usage, not for gaming. The scree is shiny to me. and I watch video on youtube, for my personal feeling, the screen is OK.The laptop's weak-point (for most Acer laptop), when you type the keyboard, sometimes the focus jump away.

The Samsung weighs less, has a longer battery life, a 16gb ssd and bluetooth. The Acer weighs a bit more, has a shorter battery life (although unlike the Samsung it is removeable so you can buy a spare or extended life battery), no bluetooth, a faster processor and a 320gb mechanical hard drive. Since the Acer is cheaper, possible to add RAM to, a perfect unit if you want to try Ubuntu, and runs Netflix since it uses an Intel chip it was the one I choose, but pick the one that meets your specific needs best.

Sorry. I have not had the time to work with the Acer and don't anticipate doing anything with it in the near future.

I would recommend the G7-2220us, Although I don't like windows 8. Its a pain.

Get the 830D; use Win7 64 bit and try to get 4 gig ram... Runs fast and cool.
