I UNDERSTAND WINDOWS.  But I dont understand, or just to stubborn ( I'm 70 years old) to deal with anything else.  I don't remember touch screen because i only use the mouse. And gaming?  I never, not since PACK MAN.  I mainly make videos for songs.  My main interests are downloading and editing.  Editing I do on my Vista movie maker. I really wish there was a VISTA laptop.  My 2007 VISTA  was put down for "to many options" and to hard to understand?  T'was the easiest for me! And windows 7 & 10 seem mentally challenged  in contrast.  But I digress.  SO IN CONCLUSSION... THIS ACER MAYBE GREAT FOR YOU, (but I'm an old dog that don't wanna learn no dog gone new tricks,  just new songs... and break some windows.)  GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR ACER!
