Mine went 6 months after the warranty expired. I bought a new power supply, no dice. Don't buy this machine!

Acer Aspire AS1410-2285 11.6-Inch Black Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium)Dual-Core processor and Windows 7Otherwise, the SU3500 looks to be better both in performance and power consumption (few Celerons get speedstep, although the SU2300 does have it).

I really don't know. All I know is what I bought it for didn't work so I must have removed the programs from my lap top since I can't find them. Amazon should forward these type of questions to the manufacturer or seller, what the he double hockey sticks are they thinking?It did load up on my Acer Aspire 1 Notebook which has an intel Celron CPU 877 @ 1.4 G Hz, 4. GB of Memory, 64 bit operating system, with an Intel HM70 Express Chipset LPC Controller - 1E5E if that helps. I don't know what all of it means, just parroting my device manager.

This computer crashed after 2 months of owning. I caled both AOL and Acer for help and essentially got shown the door. After 2 hours of trying every restore and any other solution I could think of, miraculously the issue was resolved. Would I purchase another Acer? No. No discs come now as they used to, so you talk about planned obsolescence? All oem's now want you to keep buying cheap product. If I were to purchase another computer I would look at a HPQ.

Don't do it. I read a post from Cnet.com that reviewed a Atom 1.6 / 1.8 processor powered netbook with Vista and 1 GB of RAM and it was a slug. If memory serves me right it was a Dell. I have XP Pro on the MSI Wind with 1 GB or RAM and it has worked fine so far. But this is a loaner and I've only had it for 48 hours. So far I very impressed. I'm going to turn it loose in my middle school this week and see how it fairs with students and staff.As for Vista, it would make these little books to slow for their designed purpose of being netbooks. Though I have Vista on my personal laptop and love it, I just think it is too much for them. But someone might find a way to make it work. Don't do it.

Check support.asus.com or Call @ 1-812-282-2787 or 1-888-678-3688, I get these numbers Mixed Up, but it`s 1 of them, Pretty good Improvement with the Ac68

We have experienced two laptops we had to return, they are freezing up during upload. The first we had someone look @ right away and was told to return for hard drive was bad. When 2nd one came and started the same problem we sent it back the following day. When we tried to contact Acer because we could'nt even get online with is they wanted $20.00 right away to try to help. That did if for me. We are still waiting for refund from Amazon.!!! Any touchpad was ok, it was centered correctly. Good Luck!!!

Ok, thanks for all these infos, but I know nothing much about computers except to use them, so I bought a msi u120 because I need to use it for personal office work and web browsing as well as msn chat. I'd also like to install a genealogy program on it. Can anyone tell me if its power will be enough for that. Don't laugh, but I'm pretty lost and I didn't even receive the beast yet. probably sometimes next week. so any advice before I start it and its capacities will be welcome. Don't laugh again, it's the first time in years that I buy myself a computer and my first laptop too.

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

The one I ordered was windows 7 Home premium Ultimate 64-bit with a version of Microsoft Office trial that does not expire, but if you update windows you have to delete the new version to keep using......I am very satisfied with this laptop, I electronics technician by trade. I have not had any complaints other than the onboard video card. As long as you are not gaming it is fine just don't like that I cant have my icons smaller with the 1366x768 limitation. plenty of speed and storage, also boots crazy fast. Even with the large amount of programs I have on it. Hope this helps.............

I have no problems with mine. In fact I have 3 Asus laptops (me and my two kids). This G75VW-DS73-3D is my daughter's and she has had it for 8 months. No problems with hers booting up. I hear others have the boot up problem like you do. None of mine have the problem, however, and they all work just fine. The other 2 I have are from the exact same family, the G75VW-AS71 and the G75VW-DS72.

Hi Rami. Computer works just fine. The windows 8 interface really upsets my wife who is not so computer literate and can't seem to navigate her way around the system but it boots up very quickly and no freeze issues so far. My last computer with windows 7 had the blue screen of death and it was frustrating. Best of luck!

Have no clue. Would NEVER purchase this product or anything from this seller again. Item was for a friend who has a Netbook, running Windows XP. Item would not run at all, NO customer svc from Manufacturer. Seller just told me to download the driver from Windows, (which never worked). Returned item. Item was advertised as being compatible with Windows XP, which means it should not have needed any updated drivers, or if there was a newer one, Netbook/XP would get an automatic update as soon as item was hooked up to Netbook (plug & play). But I have had bad experiences with Acer products, too. Would never buy anything of theirs again, either. Sorry I couldn't help you. Have no clue.

Windows 8 - Heads up though, I own this laptop, and it's hands down one of the worst laptops I've ever owned. Put it this way, Just 9 months after purchasing it I spent another 1,500 to buy a Toshiba because I couldn't take the non-stop flood of problems this thing had. Even after sending it back to ASUS and learning there was "nothing wrong" with the laptop - It's simply a piece of junk. I've owned two ASUS laptops, and both were a nonstop flood of problems - You can do better. My 4 year old Toshiba is a far better unit than my new ASUS was if that tells you anything. Sorry to be negative, but I'd hate to see someone spend money on a laptop that could be better spent elsewhere.
