Just got the laptop today. Super easy to setup. Was a breeze to get windows setup. Only issue I ran into was a big windows update messed up the wifi device driver. Did a restart after the windows update restart and the driver was back running. The back lite on the keyboard works great. I like the easy to use fingerprint scanner also. Makes logging in super fast. I've not timed it but the start up is super fast. I also like how Acer has upgrading in mind. I have room to add a second SSD and up to 20gbs of RAM. I'm currently running 8gbs which is fine. I will upgrade to the max and add a second SSD shortly.Overall the laptop is great at the less than $600 price tag. I'm not having the loud fan issues like some people state. I do hear it come on but it's no where near loud enough to leave a bad review on. I like hearing the very slight hum. It let's me know the fan is still working!
