based on all reviews

a good unit that has a decent gliding surface and in terms of accuracy
a good keyboard and decent touchpad
comfortable as well as quite reliable

they represent a steep drop-off compared to their desktop counterparts
keycaps are a bit smaller than usual
sadly they are placed too close to the rest of the keys

Acer has cut some corners to keep the price down
occasional stuttering where the frame rate dropped briefly
which is a little on the low side for its intended use
it s a little too much off centre for my liking
