This laptop is amazingly quick on bootup and can run just about any needed application with ease. I bought this product mainly for the SSD...I always disliked how an HDD slows down so badly over the years even if you do clean wipe the OS system. I use this laptop for college (particularly Eclipse programming) and runs without any issues.  The only reason why I did NOT give this laptop 5 out of 5 stars is that it came to me without Windows activated. The biggest issue of this was the fact that it was stuck in Windows 10 S mode...meaning I cannot download ANY and I mean ANY programs on it. (Totally useless to me for needing it in a programming class.) I talked to Acer support to get it cleared up, and their support is wonderful! They sent me a new windows key and the issue was no longer apparent. I did some digging around myself alswell to see why the computer's Windows key was not working and it turns out the person that installed Windows onto the laptop prior to shipping installed Windows Enterprise when the given Windows key was a Windows 10 Home key. SO the simplest fix is to just download Windows 10 Home and the provided key worked!If anyone needs help with this issue I am more than happy to help! Just hit the reply button! And no you do not need to return the laptop if you get this issue!!Laptop: 5 out of 5 stars!
