Pros: Good construction, Plenty of pockets for what you need, High Quality, Nice asthetic/look. Good padding.

Cons: Not many. Wish it cost a little less or had bought it on sale at the time, but I needed it in a pinch. This model is one of their more basic ones but it's still great.

Overall Review: I have bought many computer bags over the years and have branched out to various brands, but I have to say that Wenger/Swiss Gear make some of the best. This particular bag I bought for my wife's work computer and it has been fantastic for her. She uses it quite a bit and it has held up very well. This bag was the third Wenger/Swiss Gear bag I have bought (not as replacements but each for a new computer) and I have decided for future purposes I will stick with them. It's worth the money in the long run.

Pros: Very few. Control Keys at the top.

Cons: Cheap feeling. Very small keys, not good for large hands. Flimsy. Small, not wide enough. Keys are pretty loud when you strike them. "Legs" look like they won't hold up to normal wear and tear.

Overall Review: Bought this to replace a temporary Microsoft Curve Keyboard 2000 because I couldn't get used to the curve. In hindsight I may just have to try to adapt to that one. It feels much sturdier and the keys are larger making it easier to type on if you have big hands. Miss my old Microsoft Multimedia keyboard they don't make anymore, it was similar to the 2000 but more solid feeling, not curved and had a wrist rest. Probably should have just sprang for a better, higher end keyboard that would work out well. Instead I'm stuck with one terrible keyboard and one slightly better curved one because at this low price their not worth sending back. My advice is to look elsewhere.

Pros: The hardware configuration for this laptop is great. GeForce 1060 has great graphics performance. 256GB SSD. 2nd Acer I have bought for my wife. Her old one was 7 years old and still going strong, but I wanted to upgrade her hardware. She likes the fingerprint login on the touchpad. I have been impressed by the Acer products I have bought in the past. It may be considered a budget brand, but I have found their products to be reliable.

Cons: The hard drive is a little pokey. The keyboard is back lit (battery drain) but you can turn it off. Unfortunately, it turns right back on every time you restart, which is annoying. The vision tracking for gaming is an unnecessary addition that is too much of a gimmick. We've had several problems getting older software to work right, but I attribute that more to Windows than Acer's hardware. I guess that's all a part of upgrading in general. The build is pretty heavy, but the keyboard is responsive and the large touch pad is nice. My wife is an accountant and she said it does not have a normal keyboard layout like her old one. Battery life is poor.

Overall Review: I got this laptop for my wife, who is not the biggest fan of change, but even she appreciates its speed and quick start up time from the SSD. She uses it mainly for office oriented work and browsing, but we have played some games on it and it has performed very well. Grim Dawn at max settings is not problem. We're not big fans of the vision tracking for games on it, so we disabled that. There is a fair share of bloatware, but I cleaned up a lot of that. From a hardware standpoint, this computer has a lot of bang for the buck. I did feature/price comparisons to other brands and found this one to be a bargain from a brand we've had very good luck with. I hope this one lasts as long as her last one (which is still working without a hitch, just a little slow). The fingerprint scanning is a nice feature that works well and my wife likes it a lot, but you can still log in manually if needed. The O/S and bloatware takes up the bulk of the SSD, so you'll want to clean that up a bit. My wife doesn't mind the slower speed of the hard drive and loads most of her programs there anyway, but the speed of an SSD impresses everyone, including her. The battery life could be better, but she stays plugged in most of the time anyway. Everything is good so far. I will update if that changes.

Pros: 5th gen i7 processor, 1 TB hard drive, decent amount of RAM, stand-alone 940M video card, Gigabit E-net, Bluetooth, USB 3.0 ports. Basically a decent bang-for-your buck traditional laptop. I had a good experience with an Acer laptop I bought for my wife about 4 years ago. 1920 X1080 screen with good color.

Cons: The hard drive is only 5400RPM (which I can't believe they still put in computers at a mid-to-high price point), Bloatware (but that's easy enough to delete). 940M isn't the best video card but I can't complain at this price point. RAM is only expandable to 16 GB max. No documentation comes with is.

Overall Review: I just set this up for my son to go to college with and it was very time consuming like most new computers.( Acer and Microsoft want to know everything about you just to turn it on.) It doesn't come with any discs, so be sure to buy a USB 3.0 Flash drive that's minimum 32GB with it and backup the system first thing. It wasn't quite as peppy on startup/restart as I had hoped, could be because of the slower hard drive. Still it has a lot of nice features for a laptop at this price and should serve him well. He likes to game a lot, but this computer is more oriented toward Medium settings on most new games. I have heard the Nvidia 940M is about the same as the 850M and that it performs similar to a Nvidia 660 desktop card. My kids currently play on an older desktop with a GTX 660 and it gets through most games fine so he should be good too for awhile. I got my wife an Acer mid-line i5 laptop 4 years ago and she still uses it, and we have other Acer products at home that perform great. Budget brand but I have no complaints. The outside is kind of cool. It is dark grey, and textured kind of like brushed denim. A unique look for sure. The build quality, though plastic, seems good too for a computer that's more budget oriented. The screen didn't have really bad glare and I could see it well from most angles. The USB ports aren't labeled and there is nowhere to find that information easily, but so you know...the USB 3.0 are on the left and the 2.0 are on the right. In all I am pleased with this purchase and hope it will serve my son well.

Pros: I honestly don't find many pros with this keyboard. I guess the slightly padded gaming WASD keys are a little more comfortable than standard keys. I noticed my fingers were a little less sore than usual after long gaming sessions.

Cons: Very low angle when feet are up. It might as well be flat. I have mine propped up with my old wristpad. Not normal sized keys. In order to make room for all the gaming shortcut buttons they compressed the size of everything else. The space bar is seriously only 2.25". Feels cheap to me, but I also feel most keyboards are not made as well nowadays and feel cheap. Even though I understand it is meant to be a gaming keyboard, I still wish the WASD keys were labeled clearly. The enter key is very small. The function buttons don't line up with the numbers below.

Overall Review: I wish I had studied the photos of this keyboard more closely and checked the size and layout of things. This keyboard has been very frustrating to use. I'm a fairly regular gamer (a few days a week), but certainly not what I would consider hardcore. This is my first gaming keyboard, and for my level of gaming I find it completely unnecessary. I would have been much happier with a more traditional keyboard that was of higher quality. I keep complaining to my wife how much I hate typing on this thing and she said just get rid of it and call it lesson learned. I may heed her advice and start from scratch.

Pros: Fast i7 processor 7200 Hard drive that boots pretty fast GeForce GTX 760 Video card (Even though it's not full retail specs) Very quiet Lots of USB 3.0 ports

Cons: The biggest con has to be the OS. The Hard drive comes partitioned, I hate split drives. The optical drive in it is HORRIBLE The case is very impractical. A clear case of form over function and seems very fragile. Excessive software pre-installed. Fairly weak Power supply. Would need to upgrade in the future. Wish it had more RAM.

Overall Review: I had a lot of issues with Windows 8 unfortunately, but I know many have. I installed my own copy of Office 2010 and Windows 8 automatically changes email settings making Outlook incompatible with Comcast service. This took awhile to figure out. Save yourself some time and heartache Comcast customers and manually input all of your correct email settings in Outlook. Have had issues with the Optical drive on this. The DVD is very low quality and mine behaves very strangely. When I rip CD's it does so quickly when the drive can be heard spinning. Other times the drive is totally silent and it takes nearly one minute (50 sec.) to RIP a small 5 min song at 256. Weird. Maybe I got a bad optical drive on this one. I must say I have enjoyed gaming on this machine. You can crank the settings up to Ultra on the games I have played np. (Like Bioshock Infinite and Metro LL). I can't beat the Black friday price I paid. I am slowly getting used to the software but some things are just annoying. For example there are 3 different music players on it, Xbox, Asus and WMP and even setting WMP to default doesn't keep the others from Launching randomly. My first pre-built system ever. Assembling a similar build would be nearly $1300 with quality parts. So I couldn't skip this one. Look for a good sale price on it and I would consider it a good buy overall. I would buy it again under similar circumstances despite some of the issues.
