Acer Aspire E 15 Es1-512-C88M

Android Reviews - Acer Aspire E 15 Es1-512-C88M is a very nice laptop. It has all the features you could ask for at the price, and it looks nice and runs fast. There is nothing I seriously dislike about it and would definitely recommend it for work, school, and entertainment.

DETAILED Acer Aspire E 15 Es1-512-C88M REVIEW

After comparing numerous laptops, I decided to get this one. The battery life is very long (7 hours), and it has some great features, such as Bluetooth and USB 3.0. Also, it looks nice, which I know is important to many people, including me.

As for Windows 8 (Windows 8.1, to be specific), I really like it. Once you get used to it, there's a good chance you'll like it, too. The desktop is very similar to Windows 7, but the start menu changed; it is now the start SCREEN, where you launch your apps, programs, etc. If you scroll down or click the down arrow in the start screen (to go to ALL APPS), you can find all programs and apps installed on your computer (including Control Panel, Windows Help, etc.). You can get loads of awesome free or paid apps and games from the APP STORE app, if you have a Microsoft Account (which you can set up for free when setting up the laptop). Windows 8.1 isn't the best thing for serious multitaskers, though, because apps are in full screen only
