Review by Jackson for Rating: Pros :- It looks nice.- Has plenty of space and Ram (250gb and 4gb)- Has 64-bit Windows pre-installed.- Not too much bealtod ware.- The web cam is pretty good.(for web cam)- Pretty light weight.- Screen is pretty good for this size.- the On-board 3200 is enough for all day-to-day work and a lot of games.Cons :- Could use a little more ram (Max is 4GB, prefer 8gb max)- HDD could be a little faster, 5400 rpm is a bit slow for me, AS my desktop is Dual Raptor soon going to SSD.- CPU can be a little faster, heat concerns maybe?- The Keyboard needs a little time to get used to.- There is no way this thing can get 5 Hours of battery life with the pre-installed Windows setup and stock battery. I would say 3 something Hours, MAX. I will try to do a clean install when I have the time. Then I will post an update here.My last Ferrari was the 4000, got this Ferrari One for over a week. I would say it worth every penny. I carry it in my bag right now and after a day of running around my shoulder is still ok ! (the old one, which is a full feature notebook, well, it served me well for like 3+ years. kinda heavy)They should've kept the shell like the old one, meaning they should kept it the Carbon Fibre look. Red is ok but I dont know. I might need some time to get used to. Oh by the way, Just get the Acer's extended warranty. You might think its not worth it, but trust me, ACER's warranty is actually pretty good. When you have a problem, just give them a call, give them your number, everything setup. you get your laptop back in about a week or so. Aftermarket warranty like Square , I have them, but I read reviews that if for some reason they cant find a contractor to fix your item, or when they just can't fix it. They will just refund you the total amount of the warranty. I mean thats ok, but I would rather pay about 20 bux more and Get Acer's own extended warranty instead.Anyway, for 600 bux. I will get this over any other notebook in the price range. |
