Friends have complained about other laptops, the lid blocks the ports with the lid open. Is this one of those computers?

Hi,This is a pretty good machine with no obvious shortcoming that I could find (I have this one for a few weeks). The best thing is this is one of the best buy for this price range. I will be cautious about the DVD drive thought - it seems somwhat flimsy./Abhijit

it does lack of speed sometimes, and i hate the pre installed adwares and windows 8... it doesn't really seem to be so good as they make it look. BUT NO, I DON'T HAVE THE LID PROBLEM.

No and no! This is definitely not a gaming laptop, it couldn't handle it. It's more of an everyday task type of computer. Mine is still doing great after a year!

I understand your frustration. I get the message that three ports are blocked by firewalls. I've tried turning off the firewall, but it is still intermittent. Also, I've been able to connect to sites when the Acer is plugged in but not connect to the same site two minutes later when it is running on battery. This novice would appreciate any help. Any techies who speak in normal terms out there????Thanks.Williebugs

I have same problem, It is not the lid but the "O" ring. The "O" ring becomes swollen and then makes the lid hard to shut. However I have replaced with a new one and it is still hard to remove and install. I am in the process of trying to trouble shoot this problem so I can share with others what to do.

The one I bought did, but be warned these laptops have a well known over heating problem and mine stopped working a month ago

Gary I had to get one for mine. I typed in what type of laptop it was and it gave me a large selection of different one. Some not being for mine. I just clicked in one and bought it. When it came it was different looking than mine. More bulk and raised the laptop up. I actually thought it was the wrong one and was about to send it back but tried it and it fit and works great. If you order one and it looks different. Try it anyway.

I found that when using this with my older laptop I tend to have the same problem. I let my sister borrow it (she has a new computer) and it works beautifully. Not much of a solution, but it's an explanation at least.

No it doesn't. I bought it and its to big. Wen u open the screen it can't open all the way and makes it not use able. If u look at the picture u can see it sticks out farther and that won't work with our laptop

Yes, and it works well. Like most slim laptops finding/pushing the open/close button is a learning experience.

There is an opening, but it does make the already hard to open port cover just slightly more difficult. You better have some long nails! JK, it's not too bad.

First I'm not sure--never encountered the issue. My generic answer[a/k/a guess] is that you need to lift the lid and press the power button. To have the lid closed and power up or operate may be a function of how you set the windows settings on your laptop when you do close the lid (it may be set to shut down, to sleep or hibernate depending on the setting options). Perhaps if set to sleep when lid closed it is 'on enough' to accept a charge, whereas if it were completely shut down it may not accept a charge.

Hi, I bought this for a custom laptop we built for a customer. I haven't heard of any problems or complaints at this time. He seemed very pleased with the machine. I'm not using it of course, but he is a younger "gamer" type user, and I'm sure if there was an issue with it he would have brought it up. Hope this helps,Martin

You should be able to close and hide your laptop by using the docking station. You may need to change power settings on the laptop so that the computer does not switch to sleep mode when closing the lid.

No, me personally I've owned this laptop for about a year now, and haven't had any problems. If you do, you can send it back to Asus and they have amazing customer service imo.

There is nothing on the docking station to block the battery on the back, the dock is wide open. I have a T540p with a battery that extends out the back without issue.
