Aspire S 5749Z by Tchampmass (Jan, 2012)I knew she wouldn't want a 17" screen (too big to haul around) so I got her the 15.6" screen.

Aspire S 5749Z by MiaWallace166 (Dec, 2011)My only complaints are the screen is very shiny and reflects light which can cause a glare and the volume isn't as loud as I would like it to be.

Keyboard
Acer Aspire S 5749Z 15.6", 2.1 GHz, 4 GB, 320 GB HDD | Rated 20% by by Kirt-HillsI was excited to receive the product only to realize that some of the keys on the keyboard wouldn't work.
Acer Aspire S 5749Z 15.6", 2.1 GHz, 4 GB, 320 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by Tchampmass (Jan, 2012)I would not have purchased this model if I hadn't taken my daughter to a local computer store and had her try out different keyboards to see which ones she found most comfortable.
Acer Aspire S 5749Z 15.6", 2.1 GHz, 4 GB, 320 GB HDD | Rated 20% by by Kirt-HillsI tried connecting an external keyboard to ensure that it was a hardware issue.
Weight
Acer Aspire S 5749Z 15.6", 2.1 GHz, 4 GB, 320 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by Elina-Hernandez-batista (Jan, 2012)Because we don't run heavy programs on it, I don't remember the last time it became unresponsive, or crashed.
Acer Aspire S 5749Z 15.6", 2.1 GHz, 4 GB, 320 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by Ruthie-A--Ruthie-A (Dec, 2011)The Acer computer is light weight and convenient for what my son needs it for.
Body
Acer Aspire S 5749Z 15.6", 2.1 GHz, 4 GB, 320 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by Tchampmass (Jan, 2012)Two unexpected benefits are that the unit is exceptionally light in weight for its size (the trade-off is a slightly flimsy feel to the plastic housing) and that the motherboard doesn't heat up even after prolonged usage.
Student
Acer Aspire S 5749Z 15.6", 2.1 GHz, 4 GB, 320 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by Renee (Jan, 2012)Installed Microsoft student and now he is ready to go back to school for the next semester.
Harddrive
Acer Aspire S 5749Z 15.6", 2.1 GHz, 4 GB, 320 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by Tchampmass (Jan, 2012)She specified the Acer Aspire series keyboards, so I looked for an Aspire with a decent chipset, a decent amount of DRAM, and a decently capacious hard drive.
