I paid a premium for the specs, including the 4:3 screen ratio.  Like clockwork, the week after the warranty ended, the screen separated from the chassis, so I now have to keep it together with a clamp because I was told it would not be worth fixing.  About a year ago, I had to start jiggling the power cord multiple times for it to charge. There was a loose connection, so there's that.  Finally, the touchpad just stopped working today, so I went on Amazon to look for a new one.  I will NEVER, EVER buy another Acer product!!!
