Very good notebook(almost ultrabook) Very good notebook(almost ultrabook), crisp and clear display, fast CPU, mSATA!If you are going to buy this notebook, consider buying mSATA SSD for it. 5Major Wifi issue!!!! Hey all,I returned this due to a hardware/software issue with the wifi having a limited distance issue. Below is my experience.Thank god Amazon is wonderful and allowed me to return it back to them no questions asked and no sweat off my back. I love Amazon but I absolutely hate Acer and will never buy from them again.I got this laptop about a month ago and with in two weeks I was sending it back. The minute I opened it up and turned it on, the laptop was having a problem connecting to my wifi. I turned to my tech friends and they all said I should try connecting it to my ethernet cable, among other obvious things to try. (examples: turn it on and off, make sure the wifi is actually on, turn bluetooth on, and so on.)After connecting it to my internet through ethernet, I was able to be on wifi. Sadly, it did not last long at all. The moment I would step foot in my family room the internet connection would slow tremendously and finally would give me a "limited wifi" error until I walked back a few feet.My router is stationed at the far end of my house and where I have heard of issues like big appliances, brick walls and the like causing a connection issue I have NEVER had ANY issue with any of my other devices connected to my wifi. It was not my router.Long story short I literally tried EVERYTHING. Updated and downloaded new drivers, changed my battery life settings, changed my wifi setting, even went as far as to change a few different setting as an administrator. Ended up calling my support number and they updated my driver. Didn't work. Few days went by I went to an online support through microsoft and they did the same things plus a few more then came to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue. We got on the the Acer community support to chat with a tech person and she was terrible. Very rude and was either not listening to a thing I was telling her or didn't understand me. Finally, she told me I had to send it in for repair. I agreed, up until I got the confirmation email telling me all the things I would have to do in order to insure I sent the laptop safely to them.THEY WERE EXPECTING ME TO PAY FOR ALL OF THE SHIPPING AND HANDLING, PLUS EXTRA SHIPPING INSURANCE AND PACKING!I thought that they would be sending me an email for a paid shipping label and the like but no. Not only did I just waste 700$ on this computer but then they wanted me to pay shipping and handling. They also expected me to give them a method of payment if the device was damaged during the shipping process, if I didn't they would return it to me without fixing it. Yeah. I was pissed.Oh, I guess the main reason why I rated it a two is because I liked the software (windows 8/8.1) and the size and keyboard of the computer. Also the screen was really clear and easy to read. 2Great screen, fast processor but finicky touchpad. Great 1080p touchscreen, Haswell core i7 processor that is fast for everyday use. IntelHD4400 graphics. There is no crapware that comes installed on other computers. Good job Acer.Used this laptop for a week now (Jun 21st 2014) and noticed one major issue with it. The TouchPad starts jumping the cursor to right corner every time I take my finger off. Its Synaptics touch pad and the issue could be with Win 8.1 drivers (Laptop comes with Win 8.0 that upgraded to 8.1 for free).Other than that this V5 573p 9899 has everything going for it and thus deserves 5 stars.Edited: 6/30/2014.Jumping cursor issue kind of getting resolved by itself, not sure why. I updated the Bluetooth/wifi drivers from Acers support page for Windows 8.1 and haven't seen the issue again. Its beyond me how the BT/Wifi drivers would fix synaptics touchpad issue.I really like the bright full HD screen, great 4 speaker sound and a good processor/ram combination.I installed VMWare workstation to run Win 7 on the laptop and it is fast. In exclusive mode I can literally forget if Win 7 is running in VMWare or native. Processor is fast and laptop has virtualization on by default.I have not experienced any issues with the Wifi range as some other reviewers.In my opinion, this laptop is well worth the money. Just be aware if after buying, you feel issues with trackpad, just update all the drivers (and I mean all the drivers) from Acer's official download page after upgrading to Win 8.1.A recommended product. 5Good workhorse laptop - wifi issues Overall this is a nice laptop for the money. The screen is big and bright and I'm surprised at how well the touch screen works. It works nicely with Windows 8. Just upgraded to 8.1 with no issues.Some minor quibbles: it's a shame they put the Core i7 with the 5400 rpm hard drive. Clearly that's the limiting component. I was thinking that I would replace it with an SSD, but I've since read that on these models it is somewhat challenging (not impossible) to replace the drive. You might want to research that further if this is your plan. I was also somewhat disappointed with Acer's specs on this unit which claim that it has a VGA port, but it doesn't. I need to use a variety of projectors and some only have VGA. Minor workaround is to get an adapter, but they shouldn't claim VGA if it isn't there.I'm reasonably happy with the purchase considering the price point.Update one year later - wifi has become an issue. No change on our part, but won't connect reliably anymore and the speed is very low. I've read a bit that indicates there is a wire from the motherboard to the antenna in the screen that may break and it seems that may have happened to us. Works fine when connected to a wired LAN port. Rather than muck with the wire, I'm going to try an external USB wifi connection. Some others (not everyone) seem to have issues with wifi, so be warned about this unit. 2Great Value - Almost Perfect but not quite there I ordered this laptop from an Amazon Marketplace Seller and it arrived very quickly, in about 4 days. I had also ordered a Crucial 120 GB mSata SSD drive on the same day. Unfortunately, the mSata drive took 10 days to arrive so when I received this laptop, all I did was just turn it on and made sure it worked.Once the mSata SSD drive arrived, it was time to reformat the laptop and do a fresh install of Windows 8 on the mSata SSD drive. Since this laptop didn't have a SSD drive, the most economical option for performance boost is to buy a mSata SSD drive and use it as the boot drive for the operating system. Then use the Sata drive that came with the laptop for data storage, which in this case is a nice 750 GB capacity.Installing the mSata drive was quite easy. I turned the laptop over, unscrewed the 20 screws, and removed the bottom panel to expose the full motherboard. Then I just seated the mSata SSD drive into the mSata slot and screwed it onto the board. After that, I removed the 750 GB Sata HDD drive and just set it to the side. I went into the BIOS to make sure the laptop saw the mSata drive, which it did. Then I proceeded to install a fresh Windows 8 ISO onto the mSata drive by booting up the laptop through my USB stick and running the installation. After that, the laptop was running purely on a mSata drive with no Sata drive in it. I then reformatted the Sata HDD drive and put it back into the laptop to be used for data storage.In inspecting the motherboard, there is one RAM slot that is upgradeable and contains a AData 2 GB stick of RAM. The other RAM slot has RAM soldered onto the board. I plan to upgrade the memory from the current 6GB to 12GB by replacing the 2GB stick with a 8GB stick. Hopefully, there won't be any issues with running a 4GB RAM stick with a 8GB stick, i.e. RAM with mismatched sizes.Now onto the actual useability and performance:Pros:- The 1920x1080 HD IPS screen is beautiful. Very vivid colors and very bright.- Nice "looking" back-lit keyboard with numeric keypad. More on the keyboard later- Performance is fast and rock solid. The speed may be due to the SSD that I installed as I don't know how it performed out of the box. Running PcMark 8 "home conventional test" which involves browsing and light gaming received a score of 2388 which didn't seem too impressive although this score was rated as 29% better than the average score for an ultrabook, which was 2179.- WIFI is actually very good. Good range and no connection drops as reported by some people. Maybe the Atheros WIFI driver got its issues fixed.- Temperature - stays cool. Never felt any heat on the palm rests while using it for hours.- Battery life - I'm on the fence about this one. Right now, I can get a max of about 4 hours and 45 mins with not too heavy of use - surfing the web and doing some Java coding. It's still better than my Samsung Series 5 NP530U4C-A01US laptop which usually got around 3 hours 45 mins. I was hoping this laptop would get 6-7 hours. I'm hoping the battery life will improve after a couple of full discharges of the battery. I had a Acer Timeline X a few years back and noticed that the battery got better after a few months use.- Pretty good speakers even though I find laptop speakers generally uselessCons:- Weight - this isn't a big drawback, it's just not super light for an "ultrabook". It weighs around 4.8 lbs, which is ok for a 15.6" laptop. It's also not super thin like the Samsung Series 9 books.- The keyboard is very average. It just doesn't have a soft, precise feel that I like. The travel is very shallow due to the "ultrabook" design. Typing is pretty accurate once you get used to it.- The track pad is too sensitive. I find myself highlighting and accidentally dragging things when moving the cursor around. The off-center placement of the track pad is actually ok since it still aligns underneath the center keys of the keyboard. I thought it would be a pain or something that I needed to get used to.- The right side fan can get loud at times when doing cpu intensive tasks such as video editing. Normal use, it's ok. I generally don't hear the fan while working because I listen to music with headphones.- No VGA out. There's a proprietary Acer converter port that has different dongles such as VGA, LAN. The laptop did not come with any dongles, so I couldn't use the VGA input on my home monitor. I ended up having to buy an HDMI-to-DVI cable from Monoprice to use the monitor.All in all, I'd say this laptop has excellent value. There is no other laptop that you can get with a I7 Haswell chip and 1920x1080 resolution for less than $1500. This one only cost me around $725 and another $80 for the mSata SSD upgrade, which makes it a great buy in my opinion. 4This laptop is amazing! For the price that is This laptop is amazing! For the price that is... got it used for 400$ which is a steal. Took Ram and SSD off of old laptop and improved this sucker greatly. I would definetly advise purchasing a ssd. their cheap 50$. Screen is huge. Fan is kinda annoying but meh i dont really notice it much. DOSENT GET HOT unless your blocking the fan. 5Gorgeous screen; imperfect trackpad I was looking for a Core i7 laptop with a bright 1080p 15.6" touchscreen. This laptop was about the only one I could find (at least back in June). The Dell, Toshiba, and HP had screens with similar specs, but they were dimmer. The Acer's display is gorgeous!While the i7 is a dual core (would have preferred a quad-core for better future-proofing), it is still fast enough for everyday use. If you install an SSD in the mSATA port (a very nice though unadvertised feature of this laptop, by the way), the laptop will spend its time waiting for you rather than the other way around. I highly recommend doing this.The finish on the laptop has a nice look and feel. I like that the bottom is plastic rather than metal so it won't get scratched and smudged as easily as metal would have been. The laptop arrived in pristine condition. I checked it thoroughly inside and out (literally) for signs of previous use and there were none. Everything about it looked brand new.The power adapter is fairly small compared to the power bricks of other laptops I've used and worked with over the years.The audio and video devices are well suited for video conferencing (e.g., Skype) according to my experience. The mic in particular provides nice crisp sound to the remote parties.The final nice thing about this laptop is its price. This makes it easier to overlook some of the problems below (hence the five stars):A few minor complaints:The trackpad does not have separate buttons. As a result, in order to perform a right-click, you have to press down on the lower right hand edge of the trackpad until it clicks. The disadvantage of this arrangement is that your finger is making contact with the trackpad before the right-click registers, which is enough time for the cursor to move. If you're not careful you can end up right-clicking the wrong thing on the screen, or at the very least missing the element you were trying to click. A partial workaround is to configure the trackpad driver so that a tap in the lower left hand corner of the trackpad will be interpreted as a right-click. This doesn't solve the problem for when you need to right-click and drag, however.The trackpad is very sensitive. If you hover your finger too close to it, it will register as a touch. I have accidentally dragged files into random folders when I was simply moving the cursor across the screen! So keep an eagle eye on that cursor to make sure it's not doing something you don't want it to do! Using an external mouse or the touchscreen will avoid this problemMy third complaint is with the placement of the USB ports. First of all, the single USB 3.0 port is on the back side of the computer. Being the USB port that is likely to be used the most because of its speed and extra power, this is an inconvenient place to reach frequently. Secondly, the USB ports are relatively far away from each other. If you buy an external DVD/Bluray drive (or if you use an external hard drive) that requires two adjacent USB ports for power, you will have to buy a short extension for the secondary USB plug and hope that the extra resistance from the extension does not significantly affect the power available to your external device. To be fair, since USB 3.0 supplies a little more power than USB 2.0, which may be enough to allow you to get by with the device plugged into only the USB 3.0 port.The laptop does not have a VGA port, but you can order one from Acer for $10 + $10 S/H, which I did.The laptop does not come with any software for watching Bluray movies. Somewhere in my research I was led to believe that it might, but it doesn't. I spent hours with Acer's customer support after I bought the laptop trying to play the Bluray movie in my external Bluray drive. They were just as confused as I was about whether the computer came with software supporting Bluray playback. The final conclusion is that it does not. If you buy a Bluray drive for the laptop, make sure you get one that comes with software (or you can buy the software separately--to my knowledge there is no free Bluray software yet).The keyboard has very shallow travel, but I expect to get used to it over time.There is no hard drive activity light. Maybe it's just me, but there are times (not yet with this computer) when a computer is frozen or the display is blank for some reason and I want to know if the hard drive is active or not. A hard drive activity light is useful for these situations.Otherwise and for the price, I am very happy with this computer. 5Acer 15.6" Aspire Laptop 6GB 750GB | V5-573P-9899 It has all good specifications. The screen looks awesome. Its fun watching full HD videos in this laptop. Feels like theater(may not be as good as that).I felt laptop is bit heavy than I expected. Speakers are good compare to other laptops I have seen. Even touch screen works fine. Charging lasts long. very rarely becomes slow but, that is fine for me. I recommend this laptop for people who watches videos a lot. I do not know about gaming perspectives because, I do not play. I bought it for 555 $(Refurbished). I feel this price is reasonable for these specifications. Till now its working well and good. I hope it will be same in future. 4Report after 15 months of use Unit purchased in April, 2014. In the interest of full disclosure, until April of this year, I would have rated it 4 1/2 stars.The Good:G1 - no problems, whatsoever, with the laptop's ability to run, stand-alone, any app I've installed, including Office Pro.G2 - it came without a lot of proprietary "enhancements". There ARE parts of the OS that the Windows helpline guys won't touch, due to OEM customization.G3 - upgrade to Windows 8.1 was painless.G4. operator input mechanisms: touchscreen implementation is great. I love the freedom to move between the touch pad, keyboard, touchscreen, and mouse at will. I'll never go back.G5 - the display is VERY clear and sharp.The BadB1 - Poor design choice of OS. Laptop came, loaded with Windows 64-bit, which I thought would really be great because it would utilize the entire bus, etc Wrong. Researched the diff between Windows 32- and 64-bit, I learned that Windows DID NOT RECOMMEND USING THE 64-BIT OS. The OS is NOT optimized for 64-bit machines. It's optimized for huge databases. Why is that Acer's bad, rather than MicroSoft's? Acer should have gone with the recommended OS.B2 - Capabilities and upgrades for 64 always lag those for 32. Customer base is significantly smaller, so release dates and software functionality & reliability are lower priority.The Ugly.Ug1 - The display crapped out. On 21 April 2015, the display began to feature a 2-inch-plus band of solid black from top to bottom of the otherwise-beautiful display. ALL of the time. Apparent quality problem with connectors to the 2nd bank of LEDs.Ug2 - The keyboard sensitivity seems to be off. When using the keyboard, there seem to be almost-randomly-repeated characters when a key is struck only once. Could be that the sampling rate is too high.Ug3 - The plastic above one display hinge has a 2-inch crack from one edge of the display back to the other.Ug4 - Too (two) few horses under the hood (pun intended). The i7-4500U (whose "integrated" architecture is a dual-core CPU with a graphics chip mounted on the motherboard--no graphics card) chokes, most notably when running multiple graphics-intensive apps simultaneously, e.g., when running the browser with multiple tabs/sites open, or when manipulating high-res images. I've gone from an 8-year-old quad-processor with a separate graphics card (with its own video card with dedicated GPU and dedicated graphics memory, in immediate proximity) to only two processors with a heavier-than-ever load to handle, ALONG WITH the necessity to share a significant portion of the system DDR3 to execute the graphics functions. Because the memory (and, BTW, processor time) is dynamically allocated between open applications and concurrent graphics processing, not only is less memory available to each concurrently executing process, the computer also has to do more context-swapping than it would otherwise. I read that the CPU actually employs part of its DDR3 L as cache memory. The fact that it does should raise a flag. It might well be part of the reason the first memory bank is soldered in. My 8-year-old Dell laptop actually renders HD images faster than my newer Acer. When I select a high-res image to view, I get to wait and watch while the computer renders it, line by line. SO, if you buy this laptop, you might want to plan on maxing out the DDR3 L. Even then, you might have the occasional crash when concurrently running Powerpoint, a browser, and an image editor or another similarly taxing load. 3Poorly chosen investment. Poor customer service for $700+. Bought it for my wife at the suggestion of a computer tech friend. She's loved it for the first week but has been having problems with it ever since. The wifi has constant problems connecting to known networks, even after multiple times updating drivers. The audio is regularly having problems as well every time it automatically updates, which means we have to go through the settings to get the audio to work. And now, just a few months out of the year warranty, the screen now seems to be having some kind of connection issue and the last 1/5th of the screen is black. Very displeased with the purchase. 1
