Acer AS8943G-9429 Reviews
When receiving the package I was very disappointed that some functions were not working out of the box. Instead of returning the merchandise to Amazon, I decided to go the manufacture warranty route. So I called Acer the same day I received the package. They had me go to Fedex. Acer paid for shipping, but I did have to pay Fedex to package the laptop which is $20. I specified the functions/features that were not working (Mostly the touchpad/volume control). Bios installed was terrible (Couldn’t even set boot sequence.) 10 days later I received my laptop back. They did update my software/apps on the laptop, but I decided to reinstall the OS myself and do all the updating as well. Looks like they updated the bios and now I have full control and can customize it. They replaced the entire touchpad module. Now the dual feature touchpad and volume control seems to be working correctly. I was installing 4 to 5 different items simultaneously, while downloading, playing music, surfing. This new i7 did not even stress a little. I need to find a benchmark app to really test it I guess. You can do so many things at once especially with 8Gigs of ram. As you can tell I am a happy customer.
Pros – All the specs (Except hard drive.) Great Acer customer service. In the past, I’ve read they were not that good. However, I spoke to 3 different representatives and they were all very helpful and efficient. I kept calling to make sure they took note on what were the discrepancies and also status on the repair and of course the 1st call was the initial warranty process thing.
Cons – Hard drive. This is the bottleneck. However, after I upgrade it with a solid state drive (Once they’re on sale..) The value of this laptop should increase..=) With the hardware in place, it will be a while I hope before I would need to upgrade this computer. Also hoping that the hardware will last.
I still own a Gateway and they are great laptops cause mine is still running flawlessly. It is kind of ironic how Acer took over Gateway. So in a way I bought a new Gateway just with the Acer name now.
