UPDATE!!I've now owned the laptop for some time.  The problems outlined below required a full default restore and reinstall of ALL programs.  That always was/is a pain.  All drivers were updated after the restore operation and before programs were put in place.  Plus, research revealed how to turn audio and visual alerts of caps lock and num lock key changes on (See Accessibility options).  That really helped make the absence of the lights a non-issue.After the latest updates, the fingerprint reader is working very well.  Occasionally, one must try several times, often with a sliding motion to get it to read; however, it reads every time!At this point (and NO THANKS to Acer!!), this is the laptop that I wanted when I purchased it!  Acer should be proactive in highlighting these items so as to save their customers hassle.  Hopefully, this will help others to get the machine doing what is expected..._____________________________________________________________________________________________________After just less than 3 months of ownership, the camera is inoperative.  It shows the green 'on' light for a second (when activated), then fails with the error, 'media capture failed event.'  It seems to be hardware, since every recommended software fix fails.Additionally, after the latest update to Windows 10, it nows fails with the 'BSOD (bluescreen of death)' failure.  SFC /scannow (with the prerequisite DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth) and CHKDSK FAIL to fix the error.Star Addition...the fingerprint reader is running reliably after the last software update!!Now, if there was only a way to see caps lock status...it would be perfect.So, this laptop is an astounding value!  The screen is bright, battery life is unexpectedly long (follow the battery break in instructions!), and the ergonomics of the device are very nice indeed!Eval of Speed under stress-this baby flies!  The web access is faster than my provider service, and access to my NAS screams!  Boot up and recovery from sleep are really fast, computing tasks sing along, and any video playback is flawless.The SSD is a little small for my needs, but doubling it was easy, using the provided cage and connector (Note that I stayed with another generic SSD so as to preserve the overall speed).  So far, the 8 GB of provided RAM have been sufficient.  Even complex multi-operations don't get above 62% of available RAM.The bad?  There is no CAPS or NUM LOCK light!  This is a minor, but needless shortcoming.  The FINGERPRINT READER by Elan--Wow it is BAD!  When it works, it is a dream.  Problem is, multiple times a day, the driver gets bent and it just stops.  One can access Device Manager and uninstall/reinstall.  Sometimes, that will fix it.  Other times, the driver will stay dead for a couple of days, then restart.  Nothing mechanical here, just the driver is notorious for this behavior across several brands.  I took off one star for these two issues.If Acer would fix the reader, I'd up it to 5 with no reservations, since the Caps/Num Lock thing is so minor.ACER, DO YOU HEAR YOUR CUSTOMERS??
