Very dissapointed! Wireless adapter made by "Aerothos"...never heard of them....Can't be more than 10 feet from the router...., whats the point of it being wireless?
Even went and exchanged it for another duplicate lap top because I thought the first one must have been defective...
Nope! the second one was the same....I even called tech support at Acer....tech admitted it must be a poor brand of adapter...no fooling....dont waste your time or money on this one!
I never really buy computers because I usually build my own. Since you can't build your own laptop at $278.00
I had to give this one a shot. Needed a laptop just in case my desk top took a dump.
All the bad stuff everyone is saying about this is true, but once I reconfigured the operating system it works great,
the wifi is working fine, even for an old G router I am using.
It took about 4 minutes to boot up and had about 10 icons next to the clock loading up all kinds of garbage.
After reconfiguring the system it now takes less than a minute to boot and has only 5 icons loaded up.
Manufacturers have no clue when configuring Windows OS's, MORONS really.
Do yourself a favor when buying any computer from an Acer, HP, Dell or whoever, re-do the OS and you'll have
a completely different system, for the better.This is my very 1st laptop i have a 2 core quad desktop but have been wanting a laptop for a long time.
Prices on the ones i wanted were to high for me to afford so i hadnt gotten one.
I was at walmart the other day and seen this dual core processor and it was priced at $278
I purchased it brought it home and its a awesome computer for the money.I see not much differance in my core 2 quad this one.This computer gets a A ttt from meOut of the box I couldn't be further than 10 ft away from the router for this to connect to the wifi. I went to Acer's website and downloaded all the updates. I could then be further away from the router, but I kept losing the connection even though the signal was excellent. Three days after I bought it, I returned it.Bought this for my granddaughter at walmart and she had nothing but problems with internet connection. She took it back and exchanged it thinking it was faulty then she called tech support when the same problem happened and they really did nothing. This lap top is not worth the money it took to make it! If you are looking for a good laptop dish out the extra $50-$100 for a higher quality one.
