Pros: See my earlier review.
Cons: Acer support is no help. But it turns out that (despite the misleading error message) the SP1 block was not caused by the new Intel HD Graphics driver refusing to install, but by the old (oem) HD Graphics driver refusing to allow itself to be updated. Which is good, because there is a fix for that. See Other thoughts.
Overall Review: Amending my prior review (and thanks for the tip from a commenter on another web site): while Acer support is useless, there is a way to get SP1 to install on this laptop. (1) Download the latest HD Graphics driver from Intel's web site. (2) In Control Panel > Device Manager, uninstall the existing (oem) graphics driver. Don't worry; your screen will still work, just at a lower resolution. Reboot. (3) Install the downloaded intel graphics driver. Reboot. (4) Run Windows Update. SP1 should now appear and install without issues.
