I bought this laptop for my daughter for college and for her leisure gaming.  When it arrived (faster than expected), we were pleased that Acer added an upgraded CPU (no extra cost) since they ran low on the chip we bought. The extra speed permits gaming at its fastest!  The laptop has continued to deliver quality response time, boot time, number crunching and of course gaming speed.  This laptop is treasured and I will always keep Acer favorably on my mind!  Thank you Acer, you came through for us!
