My old laptop had plunked away at nine novels, and it was time for an upgrade. I was worried about the size of the Acer's keyboard, though, as well as the speaker quality since I listen to music while I write. A friend who has worked at Dell for years told me the Acer was a good product and he'd heard nothing but good things about them.
With that recommendation, I paid the money for my new "toy" and went home to try it out. Yes, the keyboard is small, but I'm already adjusting quickly, with few typos. I've had more difficulty adjusting to the touchpad (my old laptop was an IBM ThinkPad with the little toggle in the middle of the keyboard); even that, however, is becoming easier to use. I rarely use the left and right click buttons now that I'm mastering the same commands done with fingertips on the pad itself, as directed in the manual.
In the past, I've switched from CD to CD to listen to music. Now, after transferring all my music files (over 80 albums) via a USB thumb drive, I have nonstop tunes available from my 8GB SD card. I prefer headphones anyway, but I've used the machine without them and had no problem in quieter settings.
The screen is bright, the speed exceptional, and the few size limitations are becoming things of the past for me. I love this lightweight but topnotch little baby. I thought I'd miss my old one for nostalgic reasons. Wrong! I hope to write at least another nine novels on this thing, and all for a great price.
