Acer Aspire S7 - 391

So, I bought my QVC S7 - 391from Acer Aspire. They have a good flexpay option which I can afford and a great return policy. Won't in 30 days - just go back. Sweet! He received last week. I returned it the following week.

Ugh... I really want to love this device. Its simplicity is beautiful. The power is fantastic. The resolution, I have even to wear glasses. The construction is solid. The unit is nicely stands out of the Orchard 'Apple' of users in Starbucks or any other place. Finally, a unit that is not in brushed silver, black Matt or slate ish in colour.

Yes, before my purchase - I did my research. I read all news, reviews, opinion, articles, post etc... and anyway, I've always done the purchase. But as soon as I started to feel the "quirks" who all expressed in the comments I had read. I thought, ' hurry up, time to go! "

My experience has been the double tapping keys (I'm not the best typer but I'm a bad typer - I type like a chicken 'to hunt and choose'.)

Another reason for my return, it was losing the cursor. When I placed the cursor where I wanted to, he would move or does not react.

However, I have not met the decline of the wifi service. But very afraid I would. All the post about falling wifi, makes me scared just return it.

Anyway... After all that... and without the unit for the last 4 days only, Miss me it already. Starting to think, I reacted to quickly turning.

Are there any consumer out there with an Acer Aspire S7-391, which has not experienced a technical difficulty at all? One who has had a positive experience of the buyer? Who does not have any quirks with their unit they have bought?

I think again, I reacted to quickly to return my S7-391. Honestly, I think to give him a second chance and get another.

Evaluate the issue from a different angle. Take a look at the forums of other manufacturers.

I suspect you will find similar horror stories. Without doubt some unfounded but is not much.

I do not have a S7, but I agree, there seems to be problems with the wifi in particular. What is unknown, however, is the number of S7 users who have experienced no problem WiFi. If there is a fundamental flaw, each user S7 won't be affected?

There will surely be many Acer users who have not experienced any problems and is more satisfied with their purchase. I'm very happy with mine!

I think it is unlikely that any given machine will require not some "refractory" at one time or another. It is the nature of the beast. However, I expect a new machine to be no problem with regards to the "back of the box" material other that perhaps tweaking the strange to meet personal preferences setting etc.

  • Acer Aspire S7-391 Windows 8.1 Issus with touchscreen and Trackpad

    Hello. I've just upgraded to 8.1 Windows, everything went well, but I realize now the touch screen is much less reactive than before, and many times I have to touch twice to make the action, something that never happened to me before with Windows 8.

    ¿Any suggestions?

    Another thing is the trackpad, which for example now does not scroll with 2 fingers and other things that did before.

    Thank you

    PROBLEM SOLVED WITH THE TOUCH SCREEN!

    Go to the Device Manager and look at the Human Interface Devices. There will be some USB devices that end up being the touch screen. If you change the options of feed on those so they don't turn off to save power, the problem should be solved.

    Please let me know how it works for you.

    I have an Acer S7 391.

    I saw the post you mentioned and I found that Acer-Tommy replied. He informed that there is no Kensington lock, but it has a slot "bracelet". This slot allows a strap through the slot of the buckle and then tie or stapped downwards.

  • Acer Aspire S7-391-6810 works under Linux (Ubuntu, say)?

    Also, if I install Linux instead of Win8, my warranty will be void?

    Thank you!

    Nice day

    Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) will run on S7-391-6810, HOWEVER, the only problem you will encounter is the drivers and applications on your computer that drivers are only available for the Windows platform.

    Regarding the warranty, Acer does not care what you load on the machine, as they cover the software warranty. They cover only the pure component on hardware failure... which means that only produce material defect is covered.

  • Aspire S3-391-604 with Win8 eligible for Win10?

    I have an Acer Aspire S3-391-6046 and wonder if she is eligible for a free upgrade of Windows 10?  (i.e. was the stock Windows 8.1 installed with the PC actually win RT 8.1?) How will I know?

    Thank you

    Jim

    jlandwehr61,

    The system in question is not on the list of eligible of Acer models, but this does not mean that it cannot be upgraded. What this means, is that acer will not provide support for pilot for the upgrade to Windows 10. In fact, I upgraded one of our portable S3-391 here for Windows 10 use and it works great.

  • Replace the top cover of Acer Aspire E5 - 571P_0866_V1.01

    I would like to replace the top cover of my Acer Aspire E5 - 571P and I am currently looking at this point on ebay.

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/genuine-Acer-Aspire-E5-571P-us-keyboard-w-palmrest-touchpad-AP154000900-/391...

    They say so in their description, "Does NOT include the power button" (unlike the image?). I have to buy a separate switch then? Or I could recover my current top cover power button and paste it on that one?

    I have no experience with the replacement of the parts of computer so if you have any advice or pointers for me please share with me!

    Thank you in advance.

    The power Board is replaceable (a screws) so if your is ok, you can put it on the new cover.

    See PM.

    I've updated my Aspire S7-391 to 8.1 Windows and now the trackpad is not working, nor the pointer is displayed on the screen. Can I use a USB mouse without problem, and the touch screen works very well. However, even after you have installed the latest driver to trackpad MOMENTUM and by adjusting the settings, the pointer refuses to appear on the screen. Suggestions for corrections are most appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hello..

    You can press and hold down the Fn key and press the T key to check if the touchpad works.

    If you have no answer, please uninstall the driver from Device Manager and restore the Acer recovery management pilot.

  • How Flash the BIOS on Aspire S3-391 when no present OS?

    I have a new Acer Aspire Ultrabook S3-391-6862.  I want to update the BIOS on the unit, but has difficulty because there is no OS on the Ultrabook again (it came with Win8 on it but I wiped the HARD drive to put Win7 on it).  I downloaded the latest BIOS (BIOS_Acer_2.17_A_A.zip) and unpacked.  It contains 2 files:
    (1) HB2V217.exe (size = 4, 664, 003 bytes)
    (2) Readme.txt (this simply says "Windows flash: Please click on 'HB2V217.exe' to update the bios").

    I then added this "HB2V217.exe" (4 664 003 bytes) the Win7 DVD (I did a DVD ISO, then adds the "HB2V217.exe" of the ISO file, then burned a new DVD of Win7 from this new ISO standard).
    The new DVD of Win7 boots fine, date at which I hit 'SHIFT - F10' to a command prompt, navigate to the "HB2V217.exe" file and run it, date at which it gives me a message error "subsystem required to support the image is not present.

    Other misc notes:
    -If I look inside the "HB2V217.exe" (4 664 003 bytes) with 7Zip, it contains 4 files:
    (1) HB2V217.exe (size = 4564828, but it has the same name, as it is the container for HB2V217.exe 4 664 003 bytes).
    (2) PopMsg.exe
    (3) wFlash.bat
    (4) wFlash.exe

    Obvious questions:
    -Should I copy the 4 files for installing Win7 disc rather than their container?
    -Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    Thank you for your help Jean Philippe, although I have now solved the problem, though in a different way.
    To answer your question though, the latest version of BIOS was 2.09.

    My solution was tedious but I downloaded "WinPE", built a flash drive bootable with it, the file copied BIOS "HB2V217.exe" (version 4 664 003 bytes) in the flash drive, booted from the flash player, sailed to "HB2V217.exe" and run it, date on which she flashed BIOS 2.17 new to the Ultrabook and rebooted, and success.

    For anyone who has the same problem, it was my convoluted solution (in a manner of long-term assuming that those who read it are not familiar with some aspects of computers).
    -on another computer, I did the following:
    (1) - download Windows ADK ("adksetup.exe"), which is free (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652).
    2-) plugged a USB key (something more bigger than 200 MB is fine).
    (3) - open windows explore and noted the drive letter of the USB Flash drive, I just plugged.
    (4) - ran the "adksetup.exe" and chose only "Windows PE" of all it's features (I forget if I run 'adksetup.exe' once or twice, but have downloaded more than 3 GB of files in total.
    (5) ' adksetup.exe' run and got a box of command prompt.  I typed in this box (but without the quotation marks):
    (6) "copype x 86 C:\WinPE_x86" (I chose 32 bit (x 86) version, although it may either have worked). "
    7-) after he finished I typed ' MakeWinPEMedia/UFD C:\WinPE_x86 E:.
    (8-) where "E:" is the letter of your Flash drive you noted in step 3.
    -NOTE that it will erase and format your USB Flash drive, so be sure you don't have any data you want to keep on it and make sure that you have given the CORRECT DRIVE LETTER or YOU WILL FORMAT AND LOSE DATA ON a DRIVE OTHER!
    9-) copied the "HB2V217.exe" file for BIOS I unzipped from the zip file, I had downloaded from Acer, for the flash to the root drive.
    10-) moved the to the Ultrabook of Acer and started the Ultrabook USB Flash drive (after setting it's BIOS to boot from the USB ports).
    (11) - target navigation on drive "C:" of the Ultrabook in this is the command line by typing:
    (12)-"c:".
    (13)-"HB2V217.exe".
    (14): the Ultrabook of Acer seems to restart twice because it flashes the BIOS and gives you a course.
    15-) after it's all done, restart the Ultrabook and enter the BIOS to check the version of your BIOS is now new and correct.

    There is probably an easier way to make a bootable stick with Windows on it, but nothing I tried seemed to work, so I was stuck with this complicated scheme.

    It would have been nicer if Acer had provided their BIOS image independent bootable OS as do so many other manufacturers, so you could simply image/burn the image to a floppy or CD/DVD and then Flash bootable BIOS boot media.

    In any case, thanks for your help, and maybe it helps others as well.

  • Need a link to DL Firefox 7.0.1 for linux, lang fi - FI (Finnish), to install on Acer Aspire one notebook with linpus linux.

    I got an Acer Aspire One 110 with Linpus Linux lite. Nobody has updated, so the browser to this topic is Firefox 2.0.0.14, which is a major concern for safety.

    The latest version of linux that works properly (as shown) is Firefox 7.0.1. Some people have reported problems from Firefox 8 in Linpus Lite.

    So I need to find a link where I can download this version of Firefox, in Finnish (apparently lang = fi - FI) because Mozilla has removed his breaks like a stale version.

    However, as it is the most recent version to work properly under Linpus Linux Lite (and also in view of the features of the Acer Aspire One 110), I could really use a download link for this version of Firefox, 7.0.1 in Finnish language.

    You can download it here
