Better without Windows 8
This is a well built and attractive laptop, I won't go into too many technical details, but I feel it's better after removing the GPT partitioning through using a bootable Windows 7 USB device. I also installed Windows 7 on the SSD, but if you do this there's not much space for other programs to be installed, as Windows Home Premium leaves just 1.8GB free on the disk. As a result, I installed Office and anything else on to the 500GB drive. This is definitely not a course of action for general users as it requires a fair bit of work and knowledge.
I'm sure Windows 8 has its merits, however this is not a touch screen and, unwittingly, the basic gestures built in to the mousepad frequently caused the interface to switch which after a few days just niggled me. An earlier review had reflected on lack of performance with the WLAN. I have 100Mb Virgin broadband and the fastest speed I've achieved is around 80Mbps so don't let that deter you from this purchase, although with W8 the...

Review 1 : Good laptop, maybe better with Windows7 than 8.
Computer is light and fast. No disk drive incorporated, but works fine with an external drive. Windows 8 is a pain- really designed for touch screens, so does not work so well on a conventional laptop. It kept changing Windows whenever I touched the left side of the touchpad till I discovered how to disable this. On the plus side, the speed of start-up and connection to the Internet is impressive.
Review 2 : Lightweight, good battery life, just what I needed
I needed a laptop that I could easily carry around that has a decent battery life and that I can do basic work on (word processing, internet, etc). So far this has been perfect for my needs. The Windows 8 takes a little getting used to, and I mostly work from the Acer desktop, but overall I think this is a really good investment for someone who needs a laptop as a student or similar.
