Hi! Just wanna ask if anyone has purchased this laptop, is it good for the money? There aren't any reviews of it on the internet.

Acer is a shit brand, they have no idea of what they are doing. So low build quality and high temps.

this isn't bad. It's behind an i7 ULV in terms of CPU performance, but absolute destroys it in games. It's still slightly faster than the new Kaby Lake ones.

Yeah a A12 is really good, I want a A12, because it has support in AutoCAD  

A A12 would also wreck a i7 ULV

What should i get .....if fx9800p is better than i7 kaby lake ulv than it would be a better deal ...i need it for collage, gaming(wot, witcher 1, 2) and music recording/ " production". 

Acer is a bit cheaper in croatia

Acer thermal throttles and is build like shit, so it will not last that long. You are also fogetting that the 510 has a GTX 940mx 4gb and that is pretty decent for older games

The i5 7200u and fx 9800p is about the same. The 940mx should be a tiny bit better then a r7 440.

The 510 is better build, still not great and support for the laptop is better on the lenovo. Lenovo support is not great, but it is better than Acer.

is 165kn a lot for you? Because it doesn't seem like a lot and I would rather pay that extra and get a better overall laptop

look for general driver update for the whole PC, you can find them on Lenovo.com. Hmmm the right touchpad key is a bit weird, I would maybe go down to the shop and ask for another one to see if that one also has that problem. Also no problem

[m84Degman]

it's not that bad it just has a bit of free travel while the left key is a lot firmer

I've made a stupid misatake when I was changing the file destination of the Downloads and Desktop files form C to D disk and now I cannot separate them and both files are named downloads now. I've done that before never experienced something like that. Cannot change the file name and cannot separate them. Any useful advice?
