Acer's laptop review

[adelivuk]

I'm looking to buy some medium hardware laptop and I ran into Acer's V3-574G. Reading the review it seems to me that it's a good choise.

Specs:

• 
  Processor - Intel Core i5-5200U 2.2 GHz
  Graphics adapter - NVIDIA GeForce 940M - 4096 MB, Core: 1072-1176 MHz, Memory: 960 MHz, DDR3, 64 bit interface, ForceWare 353.30 (10.18.13.5330), Optimus
  Memory - 8192 MB, DDR3, dual-channel, two memory banks (both filled)
  Display - 15.6 inch 16:9, 1920x1080 pixel, LG Philips LP156WF4-SPL1, IPS, glossy: no
  Mainboard - Intel Broadwell-U PCH-LP (Premium)
  Storage - Kingston RBU-SC150S37256GD, 256 GB, 200 GB free
  Weight - 2.4 kg ( = 84.66 oz / 5.29 pounds), Power Supply: 338 g ( = 11.92 oz / 0.75 pounds)

But I've also read that ACER's laptop aren't very good - article.

Can someone cofirm to me that they are a bad, or if thay are a good choise to buy?

Thanks

There like any other laptop out there you have the good with the bad I have had one before it worked fine. Now I dont know what your intended use is but maybe light gaming at most but I wouldnt worry about it much. Its your mid range laptop ....

I have a V3-572g that is very similar to the V3-574g. The only difference is I have a Nvidia 840m in mine, but the CPU and ram and stuff are the same. I do like it, battery last a very long time, and it doesn't get too hot.

Here's what I don't really like about it.
-The screen is just okay.
-The build quality is too plasticky and kind of flimsy.
-The lid with the screen can flex easily, especially if you open the laptop from the corner.
-Upgrading ram is a pain. You have to take the whole laptop apart just to replace and/or upgrade it
-The screen on mine cracked for no reason. It's always on a desk and in an open position so I don't know how it cracked. Google it and you'll see it's some what of an issue with Acer laptop. And no warranty does not cover it.

I do agree with the article about Acer's Tech Support, Display, and Audio.

Hopefully v3-574g might be different and might not have these issues.

Acer's laptops are junk -- they're better than HP, though that isn't saying much. Asus, on the other hand, makes decent laptops.
