I agree... I find spec reviews and quick hands-on reviews thinly informative and mostly useless. All I care about is real world, day to day experience.

I'm not so sure that simplistic view is the correct one.

Yeah, I think you're right... it seems like these companies are more concerned about schedules than quality. I had all sorts of nightmares with both a Dell and an HP laptop. My homebuilt PCs were not as much of an issue as I could choose components from reliable companies who's drivers I could trust. But windows…

Which honestly is the answer to a question no one is asking...

Then doesn't it make sense to wait to release the product for review?

I found this to me enlightening... YMMV

Still, this has been a fact of life for more than 25 years. You would think they could make it work by now. Its really ridiculous. Acer isn't a startup.

I can't say I blame you. Sorry man.

Why in the hell in 2012 do we STILL have to deal with these bullshit Windows driver issues. Any piece of built in hardware should just seamlessly WORK, especially a trackpad/mouse or monitor. This is one of the top 3 reasons I left the Windows world for the Mac. So. Sick. Of. Driver. Issues.

That's your greedy company making a weak excuse to not pay you what you deserve. It has nothing to do with Wall $treet. Hooray corporate greed. :/

So big its impossible to read on anything smaller than a stadium monitor! Brilliant!

I'll just leave this here....

I was also thinking that 4k/12fps would make an awesome timelapse rate.

And...

Reminds me of Serial Experiments: Lain...

I'll have to double-check this, but I believe that the Star Trek TOS novel "Crisis on Centaurus" was about a planet in the Alpha Centauri system...

Its wifi! You can watch it on your phone!

Ha! Ride a motorcycle!

LOL! Spend the money on a better steering wheel instead of the GoPro next time!

Good call!
