Question: Is the keyboard backlit?
Document: this laptop is perfect for me, a college undergrad.touchscreen is fun, has a cd/dvd drive, backlit keyboard is so helpful, decent webcam, lightweight and thin enough.For the price it is definitely worth it. I did have the problem with wifi connection but if you update the software through the acer website you are good to go. Ive had it for a month, lets hope this honeymoon phase lasts!
I really wanted a lightweight laptop with a touchscreen and an optical drive and I think this laptop definitely gave me the most bang for my buck. It's pretty reliable (I haven't seen the WiFi issue others have talked about) and it boots up very quickly. The touchscreen is very responsive and the screen itself looks very crisp and clear. The keyboard is comfortable to type on and is also backlit, which is convenient.
I have had none of the wifi issues others have mentioned.It has taken me a while to get used to the spacing on the keyboard, but I LOVE the back-lighting, which I expected to find annoying. Also, I chose the 14-inch because I have no need for a number pad and this doesn't have one.The touch-pad can take some getting used to.
Had an initial issue where the Windows store was not working, however I refreshed the machine and that resolved the issue. Other from the previously mentioned issue the laptop is prefect. Touchscreen, nice keyboard and touchpad, great weigh distribution in the unit itself, great thermal dissipation. Have not had any problems with interfacing with Windows 8 and the touchscreen features. Delivery was very fast and no damage was detected. The price of this laptop and the usability/features makes this an excellent purchase.
I bought this looking for specific things, all of which I found in this computer. I had planned to replace my husbands Dell computer with another Dell, but couldn't find all that I wanted in one system like this Acer. It has it all: Backlit keys, CD/DVD player (live in a place where streaming off the internet is not easy), touch screen, Windows Eight which is a learning curve but doable; lightweight, lots of memory, intel processor. The resolution is good.
which is what Im going to do, other wise it'll probably last me 2 years or less. Its so worth it if you dont want an expensive laptop right now! I wish these other people would answer their reviews! haha.
that is almost a blue white which is very easy on the eyes-64-bit Windows 8!-Touch Screen! This computer would not be enjoyable, especially the windows 8 without it-HDMI port-Very quiet computer-It looks a lot like a mac book!
note: I didn't purchase this from Amazon as I found a great cyber Monday deal elsewhere ($429 for the 6gb model).I spent literally months looking for a laptop that had everything this device offered. An optical drive (I use my laptop to watch DVDs and I also still enjoy burning CDs), a touchscreen, a sleek design, a 14-inch screen, and a reasonable price. It's darn near impossible to find 14-inch laptops with optical drives these days for prices that aren't premium.
maybe it was just my luck but it got defective on me twice so had to return, Amazon saved me!! i wouldve cried if I couldnt lol. dont mean to scare anybody it worked awsome when it did, just didnt last! ;(UPDATE,Ive searched and searched and searched for another good laptop for a good price!! and no luck!, thers 2 other acer for 50-60 more and I think im going to reorder this one again!
just this computer for 1year  4 months and it is dead now.
Answer: YES, it is!  You wouldn't know it from reading the product specs sheet, but it definitely is.  In fact, the keyboard backlight is on by default (when you get the computer).  If you want to turn it off to save battery power simply hit the Function key (Fn) plus the F9 key.
