I have an Acer V5, so I cant say your laptop will be the same, but mine is a nightmare.

1) Screws start falling out. I didn't notice, and my laptop started flexing when it opened, I noticed, but it was too late as it cracked.

2) Fake brushed aluminium started getting black dots on it. Rust?

3) Keyboard started stop working...

4) Ports broke, HDMI does not output sound anymore..

5) Laptop struggles with internet, randomly crashes/looses connection

I hope you don't get these problems, I highly suggest not getting Acer laptops.
