For the price, this is a really nice budget notebook computer. I originally purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad in the same price range which on paper is a bit better: slightly faster, slightly better battery, bigger hard drive and a really nice form factor. However I ended up returning it because the screen was abysmal and I found it unusable. This Acer is one of the only notebooks at this price range tha Doug · Target
