Maybe in Windows 8 (the non-updated flaw OS), Windows Experience Index (WEI) is still there, but this is Windows 8.1 and WEI's GUI is already removed... (Note: It's not that my battery worn out, but I'm using direct current now and stored the battery only to be used while not in my room) Many people don't like Acer, that's really the truth, but I don't have choice because this is the only one model of laptop with affordable price running Intel Core i5... This laptop is RM 1,999 (promotion price) whereas the other laptop sold at the same shop running Intel Core i5 too is from HP with price RM 2,500 My previous laptop netbook only have the integrated graphic card from Intel... I buy this new laptop not only because of the heavy programs I need to run but also because of the screen's two black spots, and the fan is also singing like yours... Plus, the battery of the netbook has worn out and currently can only holds up to 30 minutes of usage.
Currently running on three years old custom build PC with Win7 Ultimate 64-bit. The goal was to make a balanced setup suitable for photo editing (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.), everyday entertainment (music) and for some 'non-state of the art' gaming. I have no use for mobility so this is a regular workstation type PC.
