what can't it do versus a windows notebook?

It can't run any windows applications. It only runs online apps. Many are free. All are free for consumers from Google. : )

Nope. But I like the windows 8 since it is much more convenient for me to review pages. By the way, the machine I bought a month ago is running really good. I am an architect, and I can run five software at the same time without any problem. Strongly recommended.

Not I but I can see why you might want to as interface issues with some software and this computer with limited memory and windows * is something that takes a few work arounds and oftern cease and desist!

I dont believe so. Its fully contained with its own systems. If you want Windows a laptop is probably a better choice for you. Thanks.

Well, I haven't used for both as yet. But I would say, take Lenovo.. that's better anytime.. Even HP is better than this laptop. I took this because it had an SD Card Slot + a DVD Player and Windows 8 and I7 Intel Processor with 8GB RAM and 1TB of Hard Drive Memory and it was cheap at Amazon for all these features. But the handling of the computer is not smooth.. Also no touch screen.. The laptop restarts every now and then....

Notebook drives are pretty standard, you will have to swap the bezel though, really easy to do.

I have no idea about the difference.I doubt that there is much unless one has special applications. What I do know is that I hate Windows 8.I detest it. I feel,at times, like throwing my new Dell at a wall. I totally hate windows 8 like I've never hated anything else.

It depends which features you need. It does not have a Linux driver, and does not support all the same features in Mac OS and Windows.

Thanks DSY! My plan is to use an external mouse. I've never been able to get use to any notebook pointer device except ThinkPad's little red pointer. Appreciate the response.Anyone else want to comment?

windows 8, plus a bunch of usual bloatware that can be pretty easily removed. Nothing like Office or Quickbooks or something substantially useful. That said, it is a great computer that has been working reliably and has a really nice touch interface that works.

We're not familiar with your notebook. However, these are the minimum requirements of the device: 200 Mhz or Faster Processor, 64 MB of RAM or better, available cardBus slot, CD-ROM drive, Microsoft Windows 98SE, millennium, 2000, or XP.

You could check out the hp stream 7 by Microsoft.Runs windows 8.1 and looks pretty decent

I couldn't find any...It may be built in to windows 7 buy now.... I would try another one because of win8 platform and the lack of support for the older ones. Ive stopped using mine because it caused freezing and lock ups.

I'm not the best person to answer but I generally have several Internet windows open, word, and pandora. It handles that all perfectly. I really like my Acer :)

Yes, though I think Microsoft needs to optimize the software for touch screens better, it works fine. Keep in mind the processing power is not the same as a desktop or better laptop, but it will work.
