Will my Acer Aspire perform fine with Adobe Production Premium CS6?

That laptop of yours is far too weak for the type of video that you'll be editing. In fact, if a fast PC takes an hour (or a fast laptop takes three to four hours) for a given AVCHD content, your laptop may very well take all of three days (72 hours) to render that same amount of that same video. An analogy to this would be driving a beat-up old jalopy whose transmission is permanently stuck in first gear on a road that's designed to be used by modern high-performance sports sedans.
And in my experience, no dual-core CPU-based PC - not even a desktop - performs as fast in Premiere as even a quad-core CPU-based PC of merely average performance. In fact, my Core i3-2100-based desktop PC, though it was the fastest of all PCs with dual-core CPUs in the PPBM5 results list, is still outperformed by several laptops with quad-core CPUs.
Other bad points: The built-in screen has too low of a resolution to display the Premiere Pro interface properly. Some vital portions of the interface will be cut off, with absolutely no way at all whatsoever to retrieve this cut-off portion. This is because your display has a vertical resolution of only 768 pixels. Premiere Pro requires a minimum vertical display resolution of at least 900 pixels and a horizontal display resolution of at least 1280 pixels just to properly display the UI.

Where is product key for office 365??

I called geeksquad several times trying to get the code...i was transfered so many times and after having to call back numerous times because I kept gettting hung up on....( no I was not rude ) and 3 hours of being on the phone I STILL couldn't get anyone to give me the code. I was told to go to office/myaccount and register...how do i register for something I can't install?? then was told it would be in an email..and i said yes, i got the email but you need the 25 character code. Today, I spoke to a manager after asking for one and being on hold for 23 minutes, was told that I should pay for tech support to install something that is FREE??? What??? She then said she would transfer me and well guess what...she hung up.

Product Key for Free Trail

I downloaded the free one month trial of Microsoft Office to my computer about 30 minutes ago. After installing the free trial, Office asked for a product key in order to complete set up
and I did not receive a product key. Can someone PLEASE help me find it. This is my third attempt to get help.

Hi,
did you download the trial for Office 365 Home Premium?

How to find product key for Microsoft Office 2010?

I purchased an HP Pavilion dv6 a couple of years ago. At the time of purchase I also ordered a license for Microsoft Office 2010. The laptop came with Office already installed, and everything worked great for years.
Earlier this week I had to do a full system restore to get my laptop back in working order. I backed up all of my user files, found installers or original installation media for all of my software except for Office, and proceeded with the system restore.
I just got everything running again this morning. The system restore put a clean copy of the OS on my laptop, but Microsoft Office is gone. I've just about finished re-installing all of the other software, but I need some help with Office.
Since my laptop didn't come with installation media for Microsoft Office 2010 I'm trying to donwload it from here:
https://www2.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/usa/registerkey.aspx?culture=en-US&ref=pkc
It asks for a product key for Office 2010 in order to start the download. The product key for Microsoft Windows is on the bottom of my computer, but I can't find a product key for Office. (Before anyone asks, yes, this is the full version of Office 2010, and yes, I paid for it at the time of purchase of the laptop.) I kept all of the paperwork that came with the computer, but I can't find the Office product key anywhere in that packet. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for my product key?
Better yet, does HP still have a copy of my original purchase order for this laptop, and do they store product keys for the products they sell?
Thanks,
Tom

Neither HP nor Microsoft keep a record of the key that was issued. If you cannot find it in your documentation or emails I'm afraid you are out of luck and would have to purchase another key.

How to input MSDN Project Pro Product Key in Office 365 environment

Hi, there
Our company just recently moved to Office 365 from Office 2013. I had to uninstall all my Office 2013 applications and re-install them from our Office 365 site. In addition to our common Office applications, I also had Project Pro 2013 installed with the
product key I obtained from my MSDN account. The Project Pro worked fine before the Office 365 transition. But after the transition, I keep getting this pop up asking me to sign in to Office 365. Since our company Office 365 suite does not provide Project,
I cannot use most of the function of my Project Pro, even though I have input my Product Key before.
Is there a way to separate out the Project Pro so it doesn't link to Office 365 Portal? Or is there a way to input my product key through Office 365 portal?
Thanks.

You should be able to enter the Product Key for Project 2013.
Navigate to the Control Panel.
Select Programs
Select Programs and Features.
Find Microsoft Project Professional in the list and single click to select it.
Click Change at the top of the list.
Select Enter a Product Key.
I hope this helps.

How to retrieve Microsoft Office Product Key for Mac

Hi there, Hopefully someone might have a suggestion on how to retrieve the Microsoft Office Product Key for Office 2010 on Mac.
Scenario: Last month, Apple advised me my iMac hard drive may be faulty and would need replacing. That was done, I restored my iMac from Timeline backup and everything is dandy except I need the Product Key for Office to access any of my documents. I purchased the product online in my old job, that email address is now no longer valid and I have lost access to the email that the product key was emailed to me in. I am unable to retrieve the product key from Microsoft without buying a new copy.
I do have Office uploaded on my Macbook Air from the same download/product key, so I have access to the program on the laptop but not the iMac. Hopefully I can get the product key from the laptop somehow.
Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks :-)

As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

Acer Aspire Switch 10E - unable to boot, no keyboard

Hello everyone,
I have recently bought an Acer Aspire Switch 10E to do my terrain work, and would love to be able to run Linux on it. I'm running into one problem after another though (most likely because some things aren't officially supported yet, but I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences who might be able to help me out. To cut the long story short, from my own experience, I'm sure Linux can run on this.
In any case, the machine features a quad-core Intel Atom CPU (which should work AFAIK), with Intel HD graphics (which should also work flawlessly AFAIK). It also features a Realtek RTL8273BS WiFi network card (haven't got to trying it out, but my guesstimate is that it requires some proprietary firmware, since it didn't work on Ubuntu live). It has a 1280x800 touchscreen (which worked flawlessly on Ubuntu live), and a dockable keyboard (now that one boggles me). This is just a quick "tldr" version of what the machine is supposed to be. It's basically a 64-bit x86-compatibile tablet PC with a dockable keyboard and which shipped with Windows 8.1.
Okay, so first things first. The Acer Aspire Switch 10E has a 32-bit UEFI, and there is no possible way of booting an OS (live or otherwise, Linux or otherwise) which only has a 64-bit EFI image. There is no legacy BIOS on the motherboard, so (to whom it may concern), don't even bother with online tutorials that tell you to switch to legacy BIOS, as there is no way to enable it. On the other hand, a valid 32-bit EFI image will boot, even in Secure Mode, so don't bother disabling that either. In other words, there is absolutely no need to change anything in the UEFI setup in order to boot Linux, apart from adding your 32-bit EFI image to a trusted list.
Thus, in order to boot any live Linux media, it is (TTBOMK) required to either generate a working 32-bit EFI image, or use an existing one. It took me a while to figure that out, on top of the time to figure out how to generate my own 32-bit EFI image, without breaking something. Bear with me here - this is the first machine I ever owned that features an UEFI, let alone an UEFI without legacy BIOS.
Here is the stuff I found, which I was able to use to get to this point:
UEFI GPT Arch Linux USB (bootx64.efi and bootia32.efi) - Taylorbyte.com
Acer Aspire Switch 10 can't boot 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu Forums
From Ubuntu forums, I learned about this and this, both of which have bootable 32-bit EFI images, which work on Ubuntu live. Those, however, did not work with Arch Linux, for some reason, so I generated my own EFI images from the tutorial found on Taylorbyte.com. Not absolutely sure if I did it right however, since the tutorial seemed a bit dated, but it did get me into the basics I needed.
So, I now have a bootable USB drive with Arch Linux installed on it, with both 32-bit and 64-bit EFI images. My Acer Aspire 10E recognises the 32-bit EFI image and boots into GRUB loader from it, which asks me whether to boot into Arch Linux or Arch Linux Fallback. At this point, my keyboard still works, and I can choose either.
However, as soon as I choose Arch Linux to boot, it complains about being unable to boot from "UUID=<my USB's UUID>", and drops me into a boot console. The cursor blinks, but the keyboard input is not recognised at all.
I have recompiled the kernel for my live Arch USB (via makepkg -o and makepkg -e) as stated on the Ubuntu forums (setting HID_MAX_USAGE = 65536 in a certain header file in the kernel sources), but it didn't do much. The kernel still compiles, so I guess that's a plus.
Without keyboard, I am unable to install Arch on this machine, and I'm currently stuck with this error, which I'm not sure what to make of. I have never stated any UUID's while configuring my Arch live USB, so I suppose something is detecting it automatically, thus preventing Arch from booting (no idea what it could be, though).
So to conclude, I need help with booting Arch live USB on this machine, as well as getting keyboard to work. I have read here and there some people had some success with either Arch, Fedora or Ubuntu, and I've seen (32-bit) Debian 8.1 installer boot normally - without keyboard or wifi, though.
Any help regarding this would be very much appreciated.

Hi Marc, Thanks for the swift response. I'm not sure if Acer (Philippines) will be able to give the necessary support since they are only selling the Switch 10 (not even Switch 11! So backwards!) . I don't mind reinstalling the file from time to time as long as it will fix the problem asap. Would it be possible to know how often you reinstalled the exe file to fix the problem? One more thing, the only thing that's hindering on buying the Switch 12 are problems like these (since we don't have the tech support yet). Would it be possible for you to send me the fix for the keyboard problem? Thank you very much! ++ How's the experience when you are using it on your lap, let say when travelling on a plane ? Is the built stable enough that it won't stumble that easily?

Somtime my Acer Aspire Switch 11 cant turn on properly

There are times that my Acer Aspire Switch 11 cant turon on properly I tried the following but still it wont turn on: 1. Click the power button2. Click and hold the power button for 10 to 15 seconds It only opens when I charge it and hold the button for 10 to 15 seconds. However the Acer is not lowbat (almost 40%) This always happens everyday since I use the laptop everyday Hope any can help with this Thanks!

How did you leave it when last used? Did it go to sleep or did you do a shutdown (or even hibernate)? If we can figure out what triggers the bad behavior then we can perhaps come up with a solution.

Acer Aspire Switch 10 e keyboard dock problem

Hi. I have this brand new Acer Aspire Switch 10 E which I just bought last month. I'm now having problems with the keyboard and the dock as when I connect the tablet/screen to the dock, the keyboard is not detected. It recognizeswhen I dock the tablet but it doesn't detect te hard drive nor the keyboard. Sometime, after a long while, it detects the keyboard and the hard drive but only for a few seconds then it disappears again. Other times, it just flips continually from working and then not working. The problem is so sudden. I would jokingly note that whenever I search for solutions to the keyboard problem, it very briefly fixes itself. On a serious note however, I do not know what causes this malfunction nor do I know what fixes it. As stated above, the problem is so sudden. I have been very, very careful with the use of my laptop including in the removal and docking of the tablet. I have inspected the docking pins, and physically, they look perfectly fine. The problem occurs even the tablet has been connected and left undisturbed for continuous periods of time. This has led me to believe that the problem could be software based and not hardware. I am also open to the possibility that it could be heat affecting the docking pins (heat can cause connection issues and this isn't the first time I have encountered one, nor the second) but like I said, the docking pins work perfectly and remain constantly in contact witch each other. As I have postulated that the problem is software based, I have gone through the hassles of searching for possibble drivers for the dock/keyboard. Unfortunately, (this might be due to the Aspire Switch 10 E being a fairly new model) there were no keyboard drivers on the Acer support page for the Aspire Switch 10 E. In my search, I encountered a video for the Aspire Switch 10 keyboard to fix the problem, a driver update for the Switch 10, NOT the Switch 10 E. I have tried the solution and it still does not work. I am not a fan of forums and if I am, I am usually just a reader kind of person. But in the light of recent events and the fact that there are virtually NO questions or posts about this brand new model of laptop, specfically the Aspire Switch 10 E, I have taken the responsibility of raising this question in the hopes that a knowledgeable person may provide assistance and that the others of my kind (the Aspire Switch 10 E users) may be enlightened as well. I would sincerely appreciate the assistance. God bless. TL;DR: Aspire Switch 10 E detects docking but keyboard and hard drive are inconsistently not working. Help. Reposted this topic on the laptops forum because I realized I posted the first one in desktops.

Hi, I have a similar problem. Sometimes after waking or after removing or reataching the keyboard it becomes unresponsive. But if I then restart the computer it is fine. I think, in my case at least, it can not be due to just a bad connection, as otherwise restarting it would not change anything. Also, I don't think it is something that has been fixed as it is quite a recent purchase and I have recently updated windows and drivers. The whole reason for choosing this pc was the ease with which it converts between tablet and laptop mode so any advice would be very welcome. Thanks,Tom

Acer Aspire Switch 10 not turning on

Hey there, I have an Acer Aspire Switch 10 that will not turn on. I was using it to browse the web earlier today when I heard a clicking noise and it suddenly shut off. When plugged in, it recognizes that it is being charged, but it does not turn on when I press the power button. Please help! Thanks,Ben

In this case, remove the battery from the computer (if feasible) and connect the computer directly to the power adapter. Now, check if it turns on. If it turns on, then there may be some issue with your battery. To confirm this, you can consider using another battery and see if that resolves the issue. If the issue still persists, then there may be some hardware issue with the computer and you need to take it to nearest Acer service center for further assistance. To do this, the following link can be helpful:

ACER ASPIRE SWITCH 10 SHUTS DOWN and WONT TURN ON

I got my Acer Aspire Switch 10 just 2weeks ago. Everything seems fine until yesterday.
I was using the unit, charger plugged in (blue indicator light present), then it just shut down. I tried restarting it and it wont open. The monitor was becoming warm.
Now, I plugged it in (orange indicator light present), it is just a blank screen. I tried pressing the power button for about 30 seconds then press the power and volume down button (I read it somewhere), but the monitor just blinked black and gray many time.
Can someone help me with this please. Desperate here. Thank you!!

Sorry to hear that you have issues with new windows tablet,If you are using Aspire SW5-01, you will find a reset pinhole between Microphone and MicroSD card slot. Insert a paperclip into the hole and press for four seconds to reset the tablet If the power indicator is blue steady then the computer is fully charged and plugged in.Amber Steady, then the computer is charging and plugged in.If Amber Blinking, then the battery is critically low or abnormal batteryIf the indicator is Off, the computer is off.

Acer Aspire Switch 12 noisy LCD backlight?

Greetings, Got my brand new Acer Aspire Switch 12 the other day. I'm very satisifed with the form factor and with the device in general. Except for one thing. There is audible amount of noise coming from my unit when the backlight is set between 0% and 100%. The noise seems to emanate just under the "Acer" logo. This noise goes away when i set the backlight to 0% or to 100%. And it seems to be the loudest if i set the backlight to about 50% It is not very obvious but i can definitely hear it in a quiet room. Kind of defeates the whole point of a fanless design if you ask me. I think the noise is coming from the capacitors or coils in the backlight regulator circutry. I would like to know if this is a general problem with this model or is this just a problem with my unit. Fellow Aspire Switch 12 owners, do you have the same issue with your unit? Acer admins, is this a known problem with this model? I have to know, i have to decide whether i'm going to replace the unit, return the unit or just stick with it. I bought it from amazon.es.Part number of my unit: NT.L7FEB.004

mkatic,
I do not see anything in the documentation that talks about that issue, you can contact Acer technical support in your area to see what your options are, or you can seek them through Amazon; I believe that this might be their return policy if it helps steer you in the right direction.
