Looks modern, but lacks usability.

This shelf gets bored once in a while and throws a tantrum. What I mean by this is that wooden blocks that are supposed to hold the disks in place sometimes come loose, causing all the disks to fall through between the shelf and the metal bar. It's damn annoying, and it will damage your cases over time.

Modern, attractive. It is just being installed, so I cannot yet attest to its effectiveness.

This watch is nice to look at but when it comes to using it.... well, let's just say I found a few pet peeves .
For instance, when one goes to set the alarm, the second hand (which is used to indicate whether the alarm is on or not) lays over the 9-12 area making it difficult to see settings made.  One cannot move the second hand to the off position to clear this area because once one pulls out the crown to set the alarm the second hand automatically places itself in this position.  Also, the small dial that is placed on the bottom left, which is used for viewing or setting features such as stop watch, timer, world time and as aforementioned the alarm, is often obstructed by the dial hands of the greater dial when the minute hand is between the 7 and the 8 and while in movement to return to its position according to mode set one cannot activate any key functions until it has stopped. This makes one wait to make settings between functions or does not allow the light to come on either. Everything has to wait for the small dial at the bottom left to return to set position when changing modes to be able to do anything.  MAJOR DESIGN FLAW CASIO... MAJOR.

In Conclusion:
It's nice that it's the first GPS Atomic Solar Hybrid watch and it's nice to look at but if you use all the functions of your watch as often as I do then you will find these things to be very inconvenient and impractical.

Bought this scale three months ago; just threw it out today. It looks great...well actually, it's kind of a pain to keep remotely clean being a black glossy surface. I have nothing positive to say. The design of the buttons is not very practical, they do not register touch very well...really difficult when you want to tare. It runs through battery pretty quickly, I have replaced them twice in the three months. Frequently the scale misreads the weight and you are forced to reweigh items. Occasionally dies when you're weighing and you again have to reweigh. Honestly, there are some aspects that might have been unit defects, but most of the issues are the result of poor design. I'll be opting for something less sleek and more functional to replace this.

Difficult to touch type.  Really need mechanical.

The interface to set this thing is super confusing. Companies that develop programmable timers (not just this one) seriously need to higher a UX designers.

There are too many flush-mounted switches and they are difficult for old fingers to use.
The menu tree is inconsistent, the use of the check-mark and "X" keys do not behave the same way throughout the menu tree. Example; When you go to see what the Message Center Number for SMS is you get a looped-back arrow above the "X" key. This does not mean "go back" or return to previous screen, it's a delete symbol and pressing it removes characters from the Message Center Number... I hope your memory is good because it took me several minutes of digging through the web to find the replacement number. Another example is when you view a screen that has something you don't want to change, you are forced to re-save the item to get out of the screen. You should be presented with an edit query and then forced to save or abandon changes.
Why are these things an issue? Remember, this phone is most likely to end-up in the hands of an elderly, novice cell phone user AND you are going to have to be able to troubleshoot this phone yourself when your elderly parent calls you on the land-line asking about these things. Can you remember all this? Are you prepared to carry the instructions around with you for a few months while your parent gets use to the inconsistencies here?
3-Stars for the cluttered cabinet design and the screwy menu issues. And the phone construction is way under par for a $70 cell phone.

It looks like a cool Apple product in its sleek aluminum frame, but the numbers in the display are weak and not easily read.  Also, waking up the keypad is a pain.  It goes to sleep, and that requires hitting the wakeup key several times to get numbers transferred to the computer via pairing.  The calculator function works quickly, but who needs a $60 plus calculator? I  would not recommend this to a friend.

I had been using a small notepad to take notes during meetings at work, so I thought I would check out a full-size replacement.

This "padfolio" looks great, even if "padfolio" is not an actual word. It instantly adds an air of professionalism. Even the pad of paper that's included looks great - it's got the days of the week at the top, a small blank space at the bottom, and in between is graph paper.

Unfortunately this is where the positives end. Functionally, this thing is just okay. It's actually very difficult to use graph paper to take notes when you're used to using regular lined paper. Also, you will need a hard surface like a desk or table, you cannot write on this in your lap because it's just too flimsy. The nice-looking exterior is clearly filled with cardboard and it's just not sturdy enough.

With some modifications the functionality improves - grab a cheap college-ruled 8.5x11 pad and throw it in here - but for the price I don't think the end-user should have to make changes to make this a usable product. Hence, 3 stars.

Looks decent, but having to use your other hand to hit the time display button to check for time each time you need to check is a bit cumbersome. It's more like a decorative man/boy's wrist bracelet/trinket to show off uhno one but yourself. ;p

The OS feels pretty outdated and it didn't have the functionality I was looking for. Probably fine for standard tablet use, but I don't recommend it for digital art.

Great looking product.  Lacks display options:  randomness of pictures display. It also always starts from the first picture once it's turned off and back on again instead of where it left off; take that with the fact that the pictures start from the very first again, then it's not as surprising and exciting.  A little more programming/display options would make this an awosome product!

Oh, yeah... better instruction in the manual as to how to delete and transfer pictures onto the internal memory would greatly help!  Although after a little playing around with it, can be figured out.

after tried for 2 weeks, I decided to return it. the biggest problem to me is I'm not used to its user interface. the items are organized in a not intuitive way. I always had to search deep to dig out the function I want to. it doesn't come with a touch screen or even not with a set of naragating buttons. you have to scroll to find the right item in the long list. it even doesn't allow wrap scrolling. so if you are at the (either) end of the list, you have long way to scroll in average.

it doesn't have camera, doesn't support MP3. its OS is not open. not too much 3rd party software you can play with. go for a real PDA phone with windows mobile, or at least some more supported like palm OS, so that you can put everything into your phone: GPS, MP3, PSP, camera.

it is cuter than its sibling blackberries, but still awkward.

Nice looking, but not really comfortable in using. The left side small button is too far away to press by thumb. The button is a little too tight to click.

I liked this watches functionality, but the layout is not so great. I found it a little hard to read at the angle it displays. I ended up sending it back for this reason. Not a bad concept but definitely needs work on usability.

Needs more options for font style and size.

On paper, this laptop has a lot going for it - a 3rd generation Ivy Bridge i5 dual core processor, 6 GB RAM, a 15.6" multi touch screen, a 5GHz wifi adapter (Atheros AR5BWB222), 3 USB ports (1 USB 3.0), 5 hour battery life (as per the product specs - in reality this is about half that), and a modern design aesthetic.

Unfortunately, the more I used it, the more I ran into its limitations, and hence my 3 star (It's Okay) rating.

1. Performance.
Its Windows Experience Index numbers (on a scale of 1 to 7.9) are:
Processor (6.9), Memory (7.1), Graphics 4.5, Gaming (6.2), Hard disk (5.9)

The V5 is really hurt by its anemic Intel HD Graphics 4000 chip (only 128MB of dedicated video memory); as well as by its 5400 RPM hard drive.

2. Construction
This is a handsome laptop, but its cut corners soon become apparent with use - it feels plastic-ky and less well finished than my other laptops.

3. Usability - Touchpad
The touchpad is located too far to the left making left clicks a challenge, has a stiff click action, and tends to lose sensitivity when performing click-drag operations (when closing Modern/Metro apps, touch pad drags were often ignored.)

It supports Win8 actions such as invoking the Charm menu, but these were easy to trigger inadvertently yanking me out of my thoughts.

4. Usability - Keyboard
The keyboard is firm, full sized, and backlit. However, some keys are simply too small, and the Caps/Num Lock keys provide no indication when active.

5. Usability - Touch screen
The touch screen is the perfect complement to Windows 8's Modern/Metro interface, and is natural to use. However, right click and click drag actions were harder to pull off, and I kept resorting to the mouse.

Reaching across the keyboard can be an uncomfortable action depending on user position.
Touching the screen can also be sacrilegious for those sensitive to screen smudges :)

6. Screen
The display was sufficiently bright, with adequate color reproduction. Its 1366x768 resolution is measly for a 15.6" screen, but has the benefit of making text easier to read and icons easier to click - since each pixel is larger.

7. No built-in Ethernet/VGA ports
In a tragic design decision, these ports are only available using a separate adapter cable. That means I not only have to pack this itty bitty connector each time, but I also have to worry that I will misplace it :(

8. Battery life - even with light use, the battery ran down in 3 hours. This is too short for mobile use.

9. Integrated Optical Drive - a nice touch, but as expected at this price point, Bluray is not supported.

10. Software
This unit was surprisingly clear of bloatware (except for NTI Media Maker). Even the trial Windows Office 2010 is a download link. Unfortunately, Acer was just as sparing with useful software.

Who is this for?
###########
This laptop seems to be aimed at users with light to moderate usage needs - it should be adequate for Internet browsing/streaming, general home use, and for school homework. The larger pixels at this resolution and screen size should also be easier on older eyes.

However, gamers, road warriors, developers, and other power users will likely be better served elsewhere.

Conclusion
#######
While this may seem to be a lot of laptop for the money, I found that there were some material compromises.

How satisfied you will be with this laptop will depend on which of these compromises matter to you.

Happy Computing!
