Almost ............ By B. Chen
This is a product I really wanted to love, and came very close to loving it.
It is very well built. The lid is razor thin yet well hinged and stable. The overall structure is solid. The keyboard is among the best I have used, with full-size, dedicated, Home, End, and Page Up/Down keys. Putting it side by side with my SONY Z, which costs over $2K and is considered one of the best ultra-portables, the Acer more than holds its own. In fact, I actually prefer some of the designs aspects of the Acer. Performance wise, the Acer is a slower class machine. Compared with my main work computer, a MacBook Pro running under Windows, equipped with a solid-state drive, the speed difference is not that obvious for my everyday tasks, which include Office applications and Web access. Working with my 2+GB Outlook files, navigating through large number of attachments, I didn't feel much speed compromise.
