  • Yeah, usually I have way better luck on buying refurbished items than regular ones, since the regular ones do break down on me. The refurbished ones ironically, continue working and don't break down. I got mine from Acer direct and it's also a refurbished model (althought I swear it was more of a open box unit since I see…

  • Yeah, I too was hoping for an updated R7 at yesterdays IFA event, but nope. Totally disappointed in this new direction. Come on Acer, why did you have to give in to the ***** that the media was hyping about.

I mentioned this in my review on Amazon. When the device first came out (exclusively on Best buy stores here in the U.S.A) last year, the reps there (along with the…

  • I got that message a few times and in my case I realized it was due to not connecting to the internet for the program to connect and update. (i usually turn on the laptop first and then my external devices like my hotspot) I reversed the procedure (turning on the hotspot first) and when the laptop booted up it connected to…
