It should be noted that the 1TB hard drive included in the laptop is made by WDC and contains powersaving functionality that has caused a lot of grief among users, since it goes to sleep even when you've disabled power saving from the windows power saving functionality. It then takes a few seconds to wake up, causing annoying freezes in games and such, usually ruining multiplayer game experience.
What to do about it:
- - Don't buy this computer. Be wary of Acers altogether since they don't test their computers properly before release.
- - If you already got this computer, then either do something that keeps the WDC alive during gaming or replace the HD with a better alternative.
- - Whatever you do, avoid WDC drives at all costs!
