Pros: So far the computer seems to run perfect. Start-up speed and the speed of the computer in general is great. It seems to run faster than my work laptop that has 16gig of ram, albeit that computer is several years old. I only plan to use this for school work and general web browsing, so I can't say anything as to the ability to play games. Battery life is AMAZING. I've been able to use this thing all day without having to plug it in. When I don't use it, I put it in sleep mode, which it goes into and out of as quick as a flash.Cons: I tried the Netflix app, and it just won't open. I only tried twice, didn't really care about it, so I stopped. Also, the speakers are on the bottom. The sound isn't super loud as it is, and it can become muffled sitting on your lap. To go along with that, when I plug in my headphones, the sound will still come out of the computer's main speakers. I've had to pull it out and plug it back in to get it to work. This has happened twice, and the cable jack was flush to the computer each time, so it's not a loose connection. My last note/concern is about the cable they send for you to setup an additional HDD. The cable they sent me has a severe crease in it (see photo), which makes me worried that there will be issues if I do decide to add a HDD later on.Conclusion: I know it seems like there are a lot of cons, but you shouldn't let it deter you. They really are minor. This is a great computer, overall. I've paid twice as much for computers I wasn't nearly as satisfied with. I was concerned with this not being a big brand like HP, Lenovo, or Dell, but I'm pleasantly surprised with Acer. I'll update again at a later date if there's anything major that comes up.
