Acer Aspire 1, 14" Full HD, Intel Celeron N3450, 4GB RAM, 32GB Storage, Windows 10 Home, A114-31-C4HH

Not many people give this computer 5 stars but i do. The reason is primarily for the 1080p display. It makes reading text no matter what size wonderful. Everything works very well on this computer as well. The speakers are a little tinny which is to be expected on a budget laptop but their volume is loud.The first thing i did after the initial setup of a new computer is install a Samsung low profile 128 gb usb flash drive that stays in all the time. A usb flash drive is absolutely necessary on this computer to be able to update to Windows 10 version 1803. Then i went to Settings,System,Storage and told Windows to store everything to the usb flash drive. Then i installed a usb cordless mouse. And i still have one usb port open.It was a struggle to get Windows 10 version 1803 to update as there were about 8 other updates at the same time. The usb flash drive is mandatory in assisting the update process. There still wasn't enough space even after running Disk Cleanup and clicking on Cleanup System Files, putting a check mark in all the boxes and ok it. I did that 3 times at different intervals of the updating. I had to uninstall the 1 month trial version of Office 365 and tried to update again. Still failed. So i uninstalled three games Which could have been moved to the usb flash drive but i chose to just delete them. That was enough and it updated to Windows 10 version 1803! Then i ran Disk Cleanup again cleaning up system files and i had a whopping 13.5 gb of free space on the 32 gb emmc drive.Windows 10 has a few foibles like saying the flash drive has errors and wanting to scan and fix it. It doesn't. And the power button won't put the computer to sleep but closing the lid does. I can live with these things. I think it is a great buy.Note: I was able to gain another 1.5 gb by disable/delete the hibernation file. (See the comments for instructions.)Second note: I paid $170 for this computer new from Amazon.

I'm writing this review to help those on the fence.First - many had trouble updating to the latest Windows 10 version.You have to removed all installed software, including office. Then the update will go through. Then delete the 'old Windows' file. That will clear out a lot of space.After you do this - re-download Office and the other programs you want.On to the computer - this computer is fast. A lot faster than I imagined. It multi-tasks reasonably well. I ran Word, a PDF file and Crome at the same time (with 4 tabs open on the browser) with no noticeable lag. Very nice processor.The big drawbacks other's mention - lack of storage and the weak trackpad are indeed negatives - but you have to remember this is a sub $200 computer. grab it on sale with the free 32 gig flash drive for a super value. I added an old mouse to this to get beyond the track pad weakness and the computer is running like a champ.If you have realistic expectations, this computer is a home run. If you think you can get a true gaming computer for sub $200 - you're dreaming.All in all, I give this 5 stars and recommend for anyone looking for a writing computer primarily that also can do light media and surf the internet. Get this deal.

Have now used this laptop for two months and can recommend it. Before buying it, you have to understand what you are purchasing...this is not a gaming computer or a laptop with high functionality. What it can do is provide a device that can deliver basic daily needs...email, streaming, surf the web, social media. I use this laptop mainly to watch Youtube, Twitch and even Netflix for movies for the simple fact that it is so light, I have no problem moving from room to room if needed...like when I decide to go cook...just get up and go. You can literally carry it with one hand no problem. Some have said it's slow...I have not encountered any speed issues. Not as fast as my other laptops but there isn't this huge lag problem. For example...youtube videos play straight on, even when you advance forward...it picks up at that point and goes. No problem with live stream videos either. Battery life is sufficient. Can watch several hours of vids.Biggest draw back of course is memory. But again you get what you pay for. You can add a dew things but don't expect this to hold your music library and/or media library and a multitude of extras. If you need a device to store...this is not for you. But if you need a secondary, or even third laptop to watch vids and social media etc...lightweight vs a full specced out laptop...and something that if dropped or stolen...you wouldn't feel too upset about because there is literally nothing on it of value because it's just for media consumption vs a work computer...this is a good laptop that runs a very familiar OS in Windows.UPDATE: May 22, 2018.....Definitely need external memory for Windows updates. Could have bought a 32gb USB but went ahead and bought a 250gb external hard drive just to have the space. The added $35 cost for HD brings total for this laptop to ~ $250. If purchasing...buy extra memory for it right away (or be prepared to use what you have already) and add that amount to your cost analysis when comparing vs other devices.
