Question: Is there any reason why the laptop would only display to an external monitor? Mine does not display on the Integrated display!
Document: I was off the battery and downloading multiple programs at the same time and watching a movie and it only lasted about an hour and a half, but that was very heavy usage. The memory on the laptop is also pretty big, but if it isn't enough, I would just buy an external hard drive. The speakers are also pretty good.
The reason the DIDN'T, I assume, is because the fan blows out of the left side of the computer. If it were turned around, it would blow out of the right side, right onto your mouse hand. If you use your left hand for the mouse, KNOW THAT THIS PC WILL BLOW HEAT RIGHT ONTO YOUR HAND.
You might also need an external hard drive. I use a 7200rpm 2TB external hard drive. I am now also using a 1920 x 1080 monitor attached from VGA. Still works like a charm, takes a little setting lowering to record at 1920 x 1080, i usually set minecraft to 1280 x 720 and record. I always have iTunes open and will watch videos on youtube.
In mid-range gaming laptops, there is no good reason to go with Intel. This AMD A10-4600m is similar to several intel i3/i5s on the ivy bridge architecture, both of which would be significantly more expensive than this AMD. Same exact performance in benchmarks, less expensive. This AMD competes with the Ivy Bridge intel processors (which were the newest Intel processors until very recently), and they have similar power consumption and heat production.
It sometimes froze for no reason at the first two or three weeks, but now it's working very stable and no problem at all. Weird though. Always like Acer. Don't like WINDOWS 8 though, still don't see the necessity of having it on a laptop.
I bought this laptop with a few things in mind.1. Capability to play games2. Longevity3. Bang for my Buck4. Numerous features(Bluetooth 4.0, 3.0 USB, 6GB Ram, 2GB dedicated VRAM for graphics, 750GB HDD, HD Webcam, HDMI, Multi card reader, Number pad, Multiple display capabilities)I have been very pleased with the performance of the laptop.
I love the Acer brand, they provide very good specs at the best prices. I ordered this Laptop and was really excited to update my last one which shuts off continously (Its about 5 years old and was left on almost all the time). I setup the windows 8 profile and left the laptop on. On my return however, the laptop's display was off. I assumed it was on hibernate but numerous attempts at everything proved futile.
5/5! No problems and I had mine over a year, I did the research also and it was between this and 3 other laptops and it kept coming back to this one in all the reviews and man they were right! This laptop runs Star Wars The Old Republic and max settings perfect and I also had Tribes Ascend running pretty good also!
Great laptop for the money with all the power and versatility of a desktop. I would buy and recommend this product
Arrived on time and specs were as promised. Very happy with purchase would recommend to anyone wanting a entry level gaming laptop.
Answer: If you can only display on an external monitor, then I'd call it DOA. Send it back for a replacement.Acer or Amazon should have you set. Just make sure you register the Acer on their website if you plan to get a new one from them.
