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!

Connect favorite peripherals to this Acer Aspire laptop. Four USB ports let you connect accessories, transfer files or charge a cellphone while you work, and HDMI outputs make dual-screen functionality possible. Access nearby wireless networks with this Acer Aspire laptop and stream videos or upload your own images captured with the built-in HD webcam.

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 . . .

. . . 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.

When is Best Buy going to start selling the new Toshiba NB305 with the N550 dual-core processor. It's already being sold on Amazon and New Egg.
This question might be old, but Best Buy sells some products and not others. The guarantee of one product being carried from one store and Best Buy getting it at their store is a roll of the dice. If you are in doubt about a product, check with a blue shirt in the store to see if they are going to be carrying the product. They can look up the information in the computer but can't give you a date when they get it in stock.

With Pixart 3515 sensor technology and up to 1000 dpi resolution, this Dynex™ DX-WRM1402 USB optical mouse enables you to control your computer with precision. A scrolling wheel offers easy operation.
Will this mouse work with the Acer 11.6" Chromebook?
The Acer Chromebook Model: C710-2833
If your Chrome Book has a standard USB port then yes! You can use a wireless mouse too. You won't get the advanced functionality that only a manufacturers install software package provides but it covers the basics!

I am looking for a Netbook that will support OpenGL.
Many Intel integrated chipsets support Open GL 1.5 API minimum. Games like Quake 2 and Quake 3 , Unreal Tournament , run without issues on Windows 7 if you have them patched to their latest versions. If you want more advanced features, you will be better off getting a netbook that has Nvidia ION or ATI Netbook Graphics.

Will it run Java script without all of the errors on the VISTA system?
A majority of Netbooks run Windows XP so yes, its always supposed to function as intended without errors. Note that the reason why you may encounter Javascript errors is due to a badly encoded page to which a fix is to contact the webmaster of the affected website directly for more help. In general it is always standard practice to update your computer through Windows Update on a regular basis. This will help provide better support for webpages in Internet Explorer and reduce the likelihood of these errors.

I already have a n air card to acess the internet, will I be able to use it stil
Since you posted your question to the netbook category, Netbooks cannot accomodate those larger size AirCards , you might need to get a USB Aircard device from your wireless provider instead.
