Great Ultrabook With Full 640M

This is a great Ultrabook that comes with the full Nvidia 640M dedicated video card running at 645 MHz and not the neutered 640M LE version. Not sure how Newegg does it as I could not find this version anywhere else. Very fast overall and so far no issues. Already ran several newer games and all ran fast and looked great. For the price, you can not beat this with the latest Ivy Bridge Intel processor as well.

Only downfall as other reviews have noted is the display which is only so so good. I can live with that though based on everything else.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Terrible product

It is fast and light

Well within the first week the drive crashed and it would not boot. I sent it to Acer for warranty repair and they repaired it and sent it back and this is the second day after it came back and the problems have resurfaced. This is very unfortunate and I will continue to pursue warranty repair but at this point I'm pretty disappointed with this product.
