What's great about it: Easy to set up
What's not so great: Customer service from ACEr is not very helpful
I like the computer. It is face and has a good screen. Windows 8 was easy to get used to. I have had some trouble with the computer recognizing devices such as external hard drives and memory cards which Best Buy explained to me was a problem with Windows 8. Ony happened twice and has been fine since then.
I have called Acer support 4 times and was dissatisfied with the response 3 of the 4 times. The second time I called them I was told that I had to send the computer in for service - and this was two days after I got the computer. Instead I called Best Buy and they solved the problem for me over the phone. Also, the computer said it came with a program for transferring files from my old computer to the new one. However it is not on the computer and Acer support said it was never included with Windows 8 - so why was it listed in as a program????
Overall I love the actual computer. Weight is pretty good and it does everything I need.
This product is... Good sound quality, A touch pad that works great, easy to set up, lightning fast

What's great about it: illuminated keyboard keys, display, HD graphics, speed
What's not so great: nothing that I've encountered so far.
I bought this laptop for my senior year in college 3 weeks ago. I absolutely love this laptop. The speed is amazingly fast. I multi-task (check e-mail, facebook, do homework, listen to youtube, etc) all at the same time and I can switch between the pages and back to home screen within one second. The graphics are great when watching movies online. The illuminated keyboard keys allows you to work in dim light as well when your spouse wants to sleep. I like the layout of the keyboard with the 10 key laid out on the right side of the keyboard. The keyboard keys are smooth and are just the right size.

What's great about it: Nice looking, thin, great price
What's not so great: Hate Windows 8 OS
As soon as I figure out how to find all my programs and how to play a DVD, maybe I'll learn to like this computer! I've turned it on less than half a dozen times since spending a frustrating few days with it. It seems very user-unfriendly to me, and am back to my old computer which has Windows 7 and is much easier to maneuver. So far, I truly hate Windows 8 which, of course, totally impacts my Acer experience to the negative. Not sure I like that back-lit keyboard either.

What's great about it: It's thin, fast, sexy, has a lighted keyboard
What's not so great: windows 8 but that's Microsofts fault. I'll get used to it.
I am completely satisfied with this laptop. It has a great keyboard, good screen, it's so thin and takes up less space than other 15.6" laptops. The SSD is a definite bonus - this thing boots in no time. I'm glad I didn't spend twice as much to get a MacBook like I originally wanted.

What's great about it: Keyboard, Windows 8, Weight, Size, Screen, Performance
What's not so great: Battery (kinda)
I read all the reviews before buying being skeptical of the WiFi, Screen, and the battery issue. I was tentative with Windows 8 too.
Overall the computer has been fantastic. I am a teacher and graduate student and the computer has been an outstanding buy so far. I have had no issues with the WiFi at home, school, or my university.
Windows 8 was very different but easy to set up if you're not going to get angry and give up because its different. The new interface=the "missing" start button. The multi gesture clickpad has been great to learn Windows 8 with. I love the customization of Windows 8. If you take the time (for some it could be an hour, for others it could a week) to personalize it you should come to enjoy Windows 8. I also have Office 2013 and having that and Skydrive makes organization a cake walk. Windows 8 is also incredibly smart and takes care of some bugs with the old operating system.
The browser display takes some adjusting to but Windows 8/Movies play wonderfully. I have yet to come across any issues other than the battery. The length of the battery and charger are fine but when you plug it in when you get the 10% remaining notification it does not charge unless you sleep/hibernate the computer. It will still hold the battery level just not charge it. Not really an issue with a very long battery life.
I would recommend this computer to people who like technology. Luddites need not waste their time with Windows 8. If you're willing to learn I recommend this device with Windows 8. This computer is a good device as we move to a future of connected devices and cloud servers. This device makes me want to get a Windows Phone (I still have a dumb phone)

What's great about it: price, speed, portability, aesthetics
What's not so great: noise
Yes, this has Windows 8 as the pre-installed OS, which many do not like (I, quite frankly, don't mind). However, I paid the $4.99 for Start8 so I would have a start button. This computer is an amazing deal for the price! It's sleek, has a nice backlit keyboard, boots up quickly, and the Dolby speakers are fabulous. The fan is noisy, but for the price I'm okay with it. I would def recommend Acer to others (I have owned 2 Acer's in the past AND both are still working - one of them is almost 5 years old). Very happy with this purchase. Perfect computer to have as I'm going to grad school!

What's great about it: I like the lighted keys. It is very thin! Works very well except Windows 8
What's not so great: I do not like Windows 8
This would be a great computer if it were not for the operating system, Windows 8. When I purchased the computer from Best Buy in Erie, PA I was asked if I wanted windows 8. I was also told it could be downgraded to Windows 7 if I wanted. Well, I tried Windows 8 as suggested by salesperson, but did not like it! Why would Microsoft do this. I have been using computers since the early 80's and never have had such problems running software or just finding my way around. Windows 8 will not work with my program for my tax collecting. I am Tax collector for the city here and also do many scholarships for local students. The software I am using will not work with this Windows version! I called Best Buy in Erie to get help but they now told me I can't downgrade to Windows 7. I am not stuck with this computer and hoping my old Dell will last a bit longer. I bought the new one to replace the Dell as it has battery charging issues and is almost out of battery! Help! I really don't know what to do! Now it is just past the 30 days to return the computer to Best Buy and find one with Windows 7!

What's great about it: Great performance, professional design
What's not so great: Slightly heavy
When I bought the Aspire M5-581T, I was was thinking of having a low-voltage ultrabook in order to use on battery at uni, without sacrificing a dvd reader which the lighter models tend to miss. The low voltage processor hinted at me that i could not run heavy applications for design or gaming. What I found however is that the processor overclocks to 2.1 Ghz automatically when running high demand programs which really does the work; I haven't found myself using my desktop computer since. The design looks very professional, and the battery life is fantastic. The integrated 1.7GB graphics are good for gaming too (playing XCOM: enemy unknown on high and Guild Wars 2 on medium). I never expected to get such a great ultrabook in the $700 price range.

What's not so great: Display is fine for normal use but color accuracy and viewing angle don't make it the best for picture color adjustments
A good basic laptop. Display not very accurate in terms of color so not the computer for professional photo editing but fine for most people. Built in speakers aren't that great. Otherwise a really nice light computer. Happy with it overall and would buy another.

What's great about it: Speed, Display, Lighted Keyboard
What's not so great: Annoying On/Off button; runs a little hot
I bought this for my teenage son--I was looking at lower equipped computers, but this was the same price due to an open box special. I really got a bargain--this is a very nice looking computer, solid build (more solid feeling than my Sony VAIO at twice the price). Great speakers for laptop. Lighted keyboard is a feature I like when watching movies in the dark, and usually something you don't get in this price range. Performance is excellent. I haven't seen any lag or delay even with multiple intensive programs running. It's plenty of juice for most home applications. Very light, but it does get fairly hot on the lap--use a good cooling pad and you're all set. Good deal.

Unique combination of specs for an Ultrabook in this price range. Fits perfectly is Case Logic sleeve, super portable for the college student who keeps their laptop in their backpack. Doesn't heat up even with 8 straight hours of use. Battery will last 4-6 hours depending on type of use. Minimal bezel around the screen.

Design: This laptop is built with a design akin to a uni body. The screen is one piece and the keyboard is another. It definitely has a very industrial feel to it. No shiny surfaces of gimmicky, glittery plastic; just metal.Or some platic that looks feels and gets cold like metal. But I really think its metal. Because of this the keyboard shows absolutely no flex. the material under and surrounding the keys is the same metal the entire laptop is made of. But even though the laptop is made out of this material it is fairly light. Yes this is a 15.6 inch laptop with an Intel processor and a number pad to the side. Understand that although it has the ultra-book branding and is comparatively light compared to other laptops in its spec class it is not as light as say the Samsung 9 Series laptops. It feels solid in hands but at no point does it feel heavy. You sacrifice weight for quality design. ps. there are no creeks or noises that emanate from the laptop when you pinch at corners or pick it up. It is a well made laptop.
Touch pad: I have to get used to depressing the entire pad instead of hitting either the left or right clicker. It is nice and big and feels good to the fingers.
Ports: All the ports, except for the sd card slot, are all on the back of the laptop. In order to accomplish this Acer employs a hinge/backside that is very old school. It sort of adds to the industrial feel of the notebook and is a tad ingenious considering that the ports are on the back. I kinda of had a chicken or the egg moment, trying to understand whether they changed the backside first or moved all the ports to the back first. You get 2 usb 3.0 slots and one 2.0 slot. As well one of the 3.0 slots allows for usb charging to your phone, kindle etc when the laptop is off. You can even determine how far the laptop battery can be depleted while charging your other devices. Sidenote: The power button is positioned at the bottom of the keyboard in the front. (something you need to see to understand) It isn't a problem as you wont mistakenly brush into it and turn off the laptop; its just a peculiar design choice.
Keyboard: No flex at all. It is a very chiclet style keyboard with ample spacing between every key. The Number pad is not cramped with the standard keyboard and arrows. There is a clear line/space to delineate between the number pad and everything else. I don't like laptop designs where you cant tell one button from another without looking down.
Display: The display, unlike the rest of the laptop, is par for the course when it comes to this price range. Its nice don't get me wrong, but you wont be wowed by it. It serves its purpose and I will watch movies on it without problem.
Cd/DVD: It has a dvd/cd player,which accounts for that extra weight mentioned above. It almost seems like an afterthought for the design but does not seem fragile.
Misc: The 20gb mssd hard drive is only for booting up your computer. From OFF position to ON the laptop takes about 10 to 15 seconds. The fan comes on alot. But unless you are in a quiet room you wont notice it. It doesn't sound loud but if you are listening for it you will hear it. After you remove all the bloatware the computer will be very fast and you should not experience lag. Mozilla Firefox seems to have a big problem with Windows 8, as it freezes for about 3 minutes every 5 minutes. It will force you to use Chrome or Internet Explorer until Mozilla fixes the issue. The laptop DOESN'T get hot at all. My mother does not play video games and I stopped playing WOW so I cant speak to that. But even when updating, removing bloatware, and playing music I never felt heat. Also remove McAfee from the laptop, since Microsoft has Windows Defender which is more than enough to protect the laptop. I experienced NO WiFi issues. I bought mine in a Best Buy store and the connectivity works without problem.
****Now that we have gotten past the nice things.... lets talk about Windows 8*****
Windows 8 is unusable without buying a little piece of software called "Start 8". Period. I'm 25, my mother who will be using this laptop, is in her 50's. She needs the freaking start button. Why Microsoft couldn't leave the start button and have the new Windows look and style is beyond me. But it is clearly a ridiculous oversight.
Now. When you get the laptop you need to do 2 things. One uninstall all the Metro UI apps (like kindle, news, ebay, amazon etc), that will be running at all times. These apps waist memory and battery and their functionality can be easily achieved by going to their websites instead. Second, uninstall ALL of the Acer bloatware. It is legion and they are many. It took almost a hour to remove it all, but it is worth it.

What's great about it: Everything, but the Wifi.
What's not so great: Wifi
What everyone else has said about the wifi issue is true. I bought this computer about 3 weeks ago from my local Best Buy, and the first week I only had a few random wireless issues, figured I had gotten lucky. It has gradually gotten worse, and now it drops to "Limited" every 15 minutes or so. I even rolled back the drivers, and unchecked that 'automatic' box like over reviewers suggested - no go.
This computer is AMAZING for the price, specs, start-up, display, keyboard, you name it - but the wireless is a deal breaker. When it drops to limited every 15 seconds, it's extremely frustrating and annoying - don't expect to use this for gaming or anything else.
The touchpad is also a little too sensitive for my tastes. And Windows 8 is absolutely pointless on a device that is NOT touchscreen - I have no idea why Windows 8 is on this, and I hate it.

What's great about it: Fast Boot Up Time
What's not so great: WiFi Connecting is Unacceptable
I bought two of these computers: one for me and one for my daughter. Both of us experienced unexpected but constant disconnection to our wireless routers. My daughter and I live in different houses in different towns with different wireless routers. It was determined - from no help from the Geek Squad or the Acer website - that there was an inherent problem with the wireless drivers. By researching the problem on the internet, I found a new driver and now both machines work. If you are the type of person that expects their new equipment to work correctly and is not inclined to except damaged goods right out of the box, you don't want to get one of these computers.
This product is... lightning fast, not ready for production

What's great about it: Quality, style and performance
What's not so great: Display is ultra sharp but very reflective; the hard drive is noisy
This laptop was purchased for a Freshman college student so we were looking for a machine which could pull academic and standard business applications to serving as entertainment system while away at school.
This ACER Ultrabook fit the bill to a 'T' without breaking the bank. I have never owned an ACER before but did all the homework and found the reviews encouraging.
The product has not disappointed. Is it perfect? No, the display is very reflective which makes it difficult to see in bright light, the hard drive is noisy, its rather heavy and the Windows * operating system all take getting used to. But, the whole package is exceptional for the price.
Would highly recommend this machine.
This product is... A touch pad that works great, Big screen size, easy to set up, lightning fast
