Acer Aspire S7-391

So, I bought my Acer Aspire S7-391from QVC.They have a good flexpay option which I can afford and an excellent return policy. Don't like it in 30 days - just return it. Sweet! Received it last week. I returned it the following week.

 

Ugh...I really wanted to love this unit. It's simplicity is beautiful. The power is fantastic. The resolution, I don't even need to wear eyeglasses. The build is solid. The unit is nicely stands out from the "Apple" Orchard of users in Starbucks or any other place. Finally, a unit that isn't in brushed silver, matte black or slate grey-ish in color.

 

Yes, prior to my purchase - I did do my research. I read all the news, reviews, opinions, blogs, post etc... and regardless, I still made the purchase. But, as soon as I started to experience the "quirks" which where all expressed in the reviews I had read. I thought, "hurry up, time to return it"!

 

My experience was the double key typing ( I am not the best typer, but nor am I a bad typer - I type like a chicken "hunt and pick".

 

Another reason for my return was, losing the cursor. When I had placed the cursor where I wanted, it would either move or not react at all.

 

However, I did not encounter the drop in wifi service. But was very afraid that I would. All the post regarding dropping off wifi, scared me off enough to return it.

 

Still...after all this...and being without the unit for only the past 4 days, I miss it already. Starting to think, I reacted to fast in returning it.

 

Is there any consumer out there with an Acer Aspire S7-391, that has not experienced an technical difficulty at all? Any one that has had a positive buyer experience? Not having any quirks with their unit that they purchased?

 

Again, I am thinking I reacted to fast in returning my S7-391. Honestly, I am thinking about giving it a second chance and getting another one.

Assess the issue from a different perspective. Have a look at forums of other manufacturers.

I suspect you will find similar horror stories. Likely some unfounded but many not.

I don't own an S7 but I agree there seems to be issues with wifi in particular. What is unknown however is the number of S7 users that have experienced no wifi problems. If there was a fundamental flaw, wouldn't every S7 user be affected?

There will surely be many Acer users who have not experienced problems and are more than satisfied with their purchase. I'm delighted with mine!

I believe it unlikely that any given machine will not require some 'fettling' at some time or another. It is the nature of the beast. However, I would expect a new machine to be problem free with regards hardware 'out of the box' other than perhaps tweaking the odd setting to meet personal preference etc.

Thank you, you definitely help give me some reassurance to my own doubts.

 

I've been feeling a little bit of remorse as to returning my S7 so quickly. I have decided to purchase it again
