First off I'm 65 years old and I'd say I've owned about 8-10 laptops over the years. I can't say this is the worst one. I think an eMachine laptop won that award. But this one isn't too many points ahead of it. Maybe I got a lemon. I don't know.My last laptop was a HP and only lasted 18 months (motherboard), only leaving the living room a few times to print something in the bedroom. I had purchased an Acer for my daughter once and it lasted 5 years so bought this one. I've had this almost 5.5 months. I quickly figured out how to take all the fancy stuff off the touchpad, except for 2 finger scroll. I had to learn to deal with that. The problem with the touchpad is sometimes you have to right or left click way in the corner or it doesn't work. Now it's getting so I have to click two or three times before it works. It seems you have to strike it harder too.It doesn't matter which browser I use but it tends to freeze, for the weirdest reasons. Like scrolling, closing a tab, clicking a link, or closing a browser. If I ignore it for a few minutes it will work again.At least a couple times a month this laptop comes out of sleep with a blue screen stating an unexpected error occurred and it had to restart. I'm unable to read the whole thing as the screen doesn't stay up long enough but I did catch "Unexpected Store Stop" near the bottom of the screen.I seem to have the WiFi issue others have mentioned but not as bad. It happens every few days I think. It drops for a few minutes, comes back for a few, then drops again, over and over. I don't know how long it lasts as I give up and pull my Kindle out.The latest is the computer beeps, the screen dims, and the battery tries to start charging, even though it's plugged in. The pc figures this out, shows the battery is full, and the screen brightens again. I've tried manipulating the cord to see if there was a short or loose wire as this tends to happen when I move the Acer, even just a tiny bit. I've tried unplugging and letting the battery run down.  After it charges back up it still does it but the beeping seems to stop for a bit.  It now seems to have gotten to the point it just does it. Perhaps it's the vibration from typing?  I'm disabled and sit in my recliner with the laptop balanced on the arm of the chair or the arm and my knee.With all these problems I'm afraid I just can't recommend this computer.Whatever happened to laptops which actually worked for several years?
