Of course from your account the build quality of the laptop is appalling. That fact itself surely should entitle you to a replacement ?

Well, yes, but Acer must not expect us to run their system only on old drivers in order to let it work, you know, it's supposed to run on the new ones too, even better. That's what new drivers are for right. And it obviously doesn't work with it so that's their bad not mine. If I updated my friends (same wifi card) driver on his packard bell it runs fine.
And indeed, apart from that I have had enough problems with it.
I'm still going to sell it; i'm sick of being busy with it. Acer is a pain in the ass and I give up. I'm going to replace it with an hp dv4000, my uncle has one, it's a bit more simple on the outside,  but the bright blinking screen is awesome (sometimes the reflection is annoying, but it's a habit), the whole construction is so robust, it goes pretty fast, and at least it works.
