Works great for the price - No complaints!

I play all sorts of games like Sonic Mega Collection Plus, Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast, Lego Star Wars 2 , Lego Indiana Jones, and I can flip the switch to accommodate any game if one mode does not work. Installing the Gamepad was easy. This controller is essentially two products in one. An XBOX 360 Controller, and a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad. Flipping the switch toggles these modes. It also works great with classic game emulators and it was easy to configure. Really do reccomend this for people with Netbooks, its like having a portable game station in your bag with a 10 inch screen.
What's great about it: Ease of Use, controller design, great for big hands
What's not so great: No cons at all.
I would recommend this to a friend!

my new laptop started showing this weird pattern, randomly, on the first day I started surfing the internet. I haven't tried other programs yet. What could be causing it? I will be returning unit to the store for a replacement.

Bad version of Firefox
July 1, 2016
It appears that this version of Firefox was incorrectly configured at the factory. Since version 47 is out now I suggest removing the one that Acer included and download the new one from the Firefox website. The laptop is fine, it's the browser.

2 out of 5Looks beautiful, but performance . . .
By minde
. . . is slow. Right out of the box I was very disappointed. The specs seem fine: i5 processor and 8 gigs of RAM. But this laptop just ran slow. Sluggish response in just about every way. Just not acceptable for someone on the go. A client who is a busy business owner bought this for himself and after I set it up I suggested he return it.

Slow performance
July 2, 2016
Once you create the recovery drive and make a backup of the wireless drivers, you can take a Windows 10 iso and do a clean format and let Windows 10 Update take care of the rest of the install. This is going to take some time, but should help with the sluggish nature of the laptop. I had noticed this too when I opened it up out of the box, that and the Firefox issue with the black dots appearing, it seems if you disable hardware acceleration the problem goes away.

No Service
September 11, 2016
My phone all of a sudden said no service to me when I was in Disneyland last month, and I did not have any cell service. Was without a phone for 2 days. I had an old Pixi Pulsar Android phone that I upgraded from, so I took the SIM card out of the Galaxy Prime and put it into the Pixi Pulsar. I turned off the Pixi Pulsar and put it back into the Galaxy Prime and my service came back. Was a weird service glitch but I ended up not needing the SIM Card they sent me.

Dynex™ DX-16E220NA16 HDTV: Enjoy your favorite shows and movies in a small room with this Dynex™ HDTV, which features 720p resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate for clear on-screen images. Two HDMI inputs make it easy to connect a wide range of devices.
It won't render video from a USB?
Does that mean I can't stream through the USB with a Kindle Fire Stick streaming device? The only reason I'm looking at this is to pair it up with my Kindle Fire Stick. Can I use that, or do I need to buy a roku that connects through HDMI instead?
Second question: what good is the USB if you can't use it for video content?
Second question: what good is the USB if you can't use it for video content?
The USB port is only for displaying pictures. You can't playback video from that port. In regards to the Roku and Fire sticks, those connect via the HDMI port exclusively.

My HP Stream Laptop gets very hot and I see there is no fan, should this be a concern
The bottom of the computer gets very hot and when it does everything runs slower and sometimes freezes up. I also don't see a fan. I have only had the computer for 1 week. Is this normal or should I take the computer back.
Your unit may be defective. Slowing down and heating up is a sign of a defect. Utilize your warranty to repair the unit.

Will this laptop have the specs to run Windows 10?
Technically, yes, this laptop can run it. However if it's possible a Clean install of this OS would be recommended if you are able to acquire it by all means. I would wait and see what the full flavor of Windows 10 editions are offered to the market before upgrading.

When the mouse arrow disappears, does this mean the battery needs to be changed?
Honestly, I don't even know if there is a battery to be replaced? I own a dynex wireless mouse and keyboard set combination.
There should be a flashing light if the batteries are going out. Its a red flashing light. Just so you know, you posted this question to the USB Optical Mouse category. For more accurate and precise answers please find the right category on BestBuy.com and ask in that forum :)

HOW DO U CLEAN YOUR MOUSE
Well for starters , don't eat at the table your computer is at :) If you must clean it get a damp towel that is barely damp and gently wipe the mouse off but make sure the tower is fully rung out before doing so as moisture inside the mouse could ruin the scroll wheel.
