The laptop was delivered within 2 days of placing an order. 'Seriously amazed' at the speed of delivery. The laptop came in state-of-the-art packing. Better than the my Dell Xps ordered from Dell.co.in directly. The courier folks were respectfull and very co-operative with my repeated enquiries, so also were the phone-support team. Now the laptop. One shinny glossy piece,I tell you. But a helluva fingerprint magnet. Looks very classy and elegant. The fit and finish of the ports,hubs, hinges, screen and keys were good. Loved the way it looked. Pros: *A total looker. Uber sexy looking. *The best VFM machine. Even the Toshibas dont match its configuration at this price point. Total killer. *Comes with 30days replacement warranty and 1 year extended warranty. Cons: *Fingerprint magnet. Will need regular cleaning. *Keyboard is cramped/crowded. Will need getting used to. Now the personal bit; My system's software is conked. The preinstalled Linux isnt loading. Worse, the booting of Win Xp from CD is crashing mid-way. Haven't seen the homepage even once. New laptop+corrupt hardware=pathetic feeling. Have lodged a complaint with Flipkart. The end result might be a replacement (something I really am hoping not to go through). Will put up a review again. For now I'll hold my recommendatio ns untill my laptop's problem is resolved. Stay tuned! Twitter id: @PrakashSolanki Date of Delivery: 29th October, 2012. Price: Rs20,890/-. Regards!
"Hi All, This is my first acer laptop and here is my opinion abt the laptop. I bought this laptop mainly to do my app support on win xp(win xp will not work with this laptop.)The pre installed linpus linux is a lite version of linpus linux(only text commands ll wortk.no GUI).so i downloaded linux 12.04 from net and when i try to install through pen drive,it doesnt work(pen drive installation is not supported).so i found a dvd writer and burnt the installation iso. Installation is also very bad(since this machine is built to support windows 7&8)it took 4 hours to figure out wrong things in installation and sort out.after 2 days of working with linux i got frustrated(most app wont work with linux).then finally i downlaoded win 8 trial version and installed.win 8 is bit slow but no errors and al. getting 4.30 hr battery life on 0% brightness.keyboard is bit crowded.sometimes my palm touches keypad and moves the cursor(bad placement of the mouse pad)speakers are not even audible if your environment is bit louder. finally i am not able to register the product in acer(it shows null pointer exception).acer customer care is just but bunch of idiots.even flipkart ppl don know what to do... win xp installation tells as hardware corrupted.USB ports are also slow only.if you insert local dvd,then the drive will start vibrating like anything.also don know how to extend ram(there is a seal saying you void your warranty if you open it)don know how to expand the warranty overall i am disappointed"
Pros: Product is Ecstatic and Good Value for Money. Excellent PDC level Product with Great Features.. Additional Warranty offer is great at this price. Great Value Deal. No issues if you Load Win 8 . Suggest 64 Bit DVD to be used and it will take care of all drivers and install the product. Require formating of existing partitions. Suggest to go for Win 8 Professional offer at Rs 3499 as its an excellent introductory offer. For additional Warranty Promo please log into Acer website and register the product with Serial number immediately once u receive the product. Cons: Heavy Product Compared to other laptops. Keyboard could have been better. Touch Pad is not very good... Flipkart Service: Require More professional approach for Execution of orders in Logistics team. Better Professionalism is expected to be shown by the team>> Packing Is Excellent. Good Job. Delivered on time.
First things, this is one of the very few laptops that includes a HD webcam and a dedicated 128MB graphics. Win7 with all aero effects enabled runs very smooth, no glitch whatsoever. Tried running a 1080p full hd vid, runs smoothly. The HDMI out works great for mirroring the output to HD TV. The webcam is great , tried with all messengers. And yes there is a big diffidence in chat video quality between a normal 0.3 MP webcam and HD webcam. This laptop also runs light games like the older need for speeds games with ease. The package includes a DVD which has all the drivers for Win7 else the drivers can be found on the gateway website. You might not get the drivers on acer website as the laptop is essentially a gateway laptop. gateway is acquired by acer. So if someone is looking for a laptop for home use for everything except heavy gaming , this is the best option.
I just recently purchased this product from flipkart ...im a regular customer for flipkart... flipkart service is amazing and legit! and now about the product its an entry level 15.6" laptop from accer (though it is branded as GATEWAY and not branded as accer any where on the laptop) pros: +good build quality (compared to other models in this price) would suggest to ne one wishing to by a 2nd gen PDC laptop + aesthetic looks +1yr additionL warranty +Backpack supplied is too good ,securely padded +1.3 mp webcam most of the laptops is this range comes with a vga web cam +500 gb hdd (toshiba and asus provides 320 for similaR config models) +comes with a driver disk which relieves you from downloading all drivers from the net. Cons : +jus 2gb ram (do remember to upgrade it with a 4gb available at 950) +No accer branding as mentioned before +keypad could have been much better overall all a good decent laptop for daily use not for heavy graphics (though manages with decent graphics) just go for it @ 20K or you could even try samsung which has same specs and amazing looks for thousand rupees more! i would give it a 5 star since thats all specs i needed which is enough to serve my purpose
research. compare. buy.
