I love my new laptop. It's super fast! Very lightweight, but it does hurt my back if I'm carrying it around longer than an hour. The screen is very nice-I'm glad I decided to spend the extra money to get a laptop with full HD. For those wondering about the fan, it's not that loud. I noticed it at first but now I don't even hear it. Most of the time I have a fan on in my room and I cannot hear the laptop fan over that. I love the backlit keyboard too. Battery life is ok, but something has to give, right?Make sure you inspect it completely when it arrives. The first one I received was shipped with a dead pixel. I didn't have time to send it to Acer for repairs so I returned it to Amazon and ordered another one. Had no issues whatsoever with the return process. I called Acer and the technician said he never heard of a new device being shipped with a dead pixel. I wondered if mine had been used before, or maybe it was damaged in shipping. Anyways they sent me another one and it's been great so far.
