I had a laptop with Windows 8 for 3 days. Said laptop crashed 6 times (seriously, I wasn't even doing anything intensive, just trying to get everything setup). I found one with Windows 7 and it's so much better for me. I'm not saying Windows 8 is bad... but I didn't like it at all. I recall mousing over part of the screen would go back to that dreaded windows screen with all the useless tabs I ended up getting rid of. It's a matter of personal taste, but Windows 8 on a laptop or computer seems very... unnecessary to me. Just my personal opinion; do research on it before getting one to see if you'll like it.
Just gonna chime in and say that Windows 8 really isn't that bad. The only real difference between 7 and 8 is the lack of Start Button (which is such an insane nonissue since we have a Windows Key on our keyboards which does the same thing), and the new Start Menu which covers the whole screen instead of being a pop-up window (but it's really not that bad).
All I can really say is avoid Acer Aspire laptops. I've had three and all of them had to have the same part repaired (the bit you plug the charger into before the warranty ran out and the two which are broken had it happen again after the warranty ran out.
I've had mine since February and I've had zero issues. If you keep having the one part repaired it's your laptop itself thats faulty. Had the same harddrive issue twice with an old Inspiron I used to have which was an issue with my particular model and not the whole line of laptops.
