Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are things that surprised me upon receiving this notebook:
1. This can play HD videos in Youtube and Hulu without a hiccup (if you have good bandwidth of course).
2. Upgrading HDD, RAM and even network card is a breeze as the access panels are well laid out in the bottom, and all said components are within reach upon opening. No need to open the top and take the keyboard out like with some other notebooks.
3. LCD quality is surprisingly good and easy on the eyes.
4. Overall build quality is above average for the price point.
This notebook looks and feels much better than the images provided here would make you think. By now everybody should know that this is extremely similar Acer's 1410, down to the quirks such as missing bluetooth despite presence of bluetooth button, etc. which is not surprising now that Acer owns Gateway.
However, there are subtle differences and I bought this over the Acer 1410 because of the following:
1. The keyboard layout is US version, whereas that of the 1410 is European. (At least if you check the 1410's images they are)
2. The touchpad is recessed, so less fumbling into that area. Most users complain about the 1410's touchpad being flush.
3. This is subjective, but I kind of liked the faux graphite look on the palmrest compared to the 1410's.
But you really couldn't go wrong with either product. These are just what tipped me to get this one over the other.
