What's great about it: Great concept, if the Wifi would work
What's not so great: The Wifi problems make it unusable
I really liked the concept of the PC when I initially saw it at BestBuy. However, there are many reports in the internet from owners of the first generation of this PC (R7 571) complaining about Wifi issues. Therefore, I was hesitant to buy the first generation. When I saw that Acer released an updated version (R7 572), I bought it because the problems of the first generation had been acknowledged by Acer and, thus, I thought the problem should be resolved in this second generation (R7 572). Unfortunately, I was wrong. The Wifi is extremely slow, although my router is only few feet away. An internet speedtest showed values of 1.5 - 4 Mbps, while my 2 other laptops and a tablet consistently achieved 25 Mbps. When pinging the router, there is a high quote of package loss. Downloading a file with 200Mb took over 40min with the PC, and surfing the web is everything but fun.
As mentioned, the concept of the Aspire R7 is great. The screen is awesome, the keyboard works well, and the overall build quality is very good. But with this severe Wifi problem, the PC is not usable and I will have to return it. It's hard to believe that Acer didn't fix this issue. I cannot recommend buying this PC.

When will it be avaible in your store? when is the Specific date release.Also I've read a lot of threads and articles that the major problems in the acer aspire r7 is it's poor wifi and some keyboard issues. Did you had any solution to this problem if it did occur? like replacing a new unit or any?
I bought the 2nd generation Aspire R7 572 one week ago at BestBuy. The Wifi problem is not fixed and, thus, the PC is unusable. I will have to return it.
