Irritated - See all my reviews

This review is from: Acer Aspire V5-531 15.6-inch Laptop - Blue (Intel Pentium B987 1.5GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, DVDSM DL, LAN, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Integrated Graphics, Windows 8 64-bit) (Personal Computers)

Let me be fair and declare that in legal terms, I have not been cheated. I bought the product as described, from . What I am angry about is not the delivery (so quick I should have smelt a rat), nor the laptop which is doubtless as good as Asus usually makes, but the Windows 8 Operating System & its User Interface - which in my opinion, are opaque, cluttered with advertising and toys (called apps) and must be nearly useless as a serious tool for 'work'. I have only had it a day but I see little likelihood of me changing my mind.

This is my fault, I bought a laptop to work with - and I can't easily perform what I would describe as work. A clue to readers is that Asus has provided a simple Desktop perhaps in an attempt to make amends. I am a retired school ICT coordinator and teacher and I feel a fool for making this mistake.

I am looking for a company that will uninstall W8 and install W7!
