Best priced 128GB SSD ultrabook I could find with these specs. I did not want to pay extra for a touch screen because if the touch pad works perfect, why put fingerprints and smudges all over the screen? It has the look and feel of a MacBook Air except the keys are not backlit. I installed Start8 to give it a Windows 7 UI (and bring back the start button). The Windows Metro UI is best suited for touch screen tablets. Boot up is smoking fast and overall everything works great. It comes with a HDMI to VGA adapter. My only major complaint is the usual bloatware that comes installed but I used Revo uninstaller to get rid of it. They should have a feature that separates the freebie programs from those that are necessary for hardware operation.

At first I loved it. Quick start up, small and light. But I've only had the thing a couple weeks, and it looks as though the hard drive has gone kaput. When I try to start it, it says "no bootable device - please restart system". I have tried restarting mulitple times, same thing. I'm not a heavy user, no gaming or anything. Just e-mail, facebook, some web surfing and the like. So now I'm back on my super-slow dinosaur (yet still mostly functioning) Dell laptop, and the Acer support page won't load, so I can't find who to contact. No longer impressed. In fact, rather frustrated.

Pros:
Very light
Great performance for size and price
Very fast boot
clear crisp display
Keyboard very similar to mac counterpart
usb 3.0
128GB SSD!!

Cons:
Battery life about 6hrs (I would sacrifice some size and weight for a bigger battery)
Mouse pad (I prefer having individual right and left mouse buttons, multitouch works great though)
could use 2 more usb ports

I purchased this to replace my 17" gamin laptop. I can hardly believe I put up with hauling that thing around for so long. it is also worth mentioning that I got my mom a similar Avatar ultrabook and the quality and overall performance of the Acer is far superior. Sorry Mom.
