I would be careful. I was checking out the same laptop and it turns out there are some serious issues concerning hardware/firmware and compatibility issues. Here's my original post on the Acer Community board:

You can search that board for that laptop model and see the different issues people are having (flickering, keyboard, BSOD, etc). It's not universal but a number of people there (and other places) have had some complaints. For my feeling when dropping almost $1,000 a backlit keyboard and num/caps lock lights on the keyboard aren't too much to ask. I'm leaning more towards the Lenovo Y510p (or perhaps the new Y50) at this time. There is also the Asus N56 models that seem to have high reliablity. Granted those are both 15.6" models but for me reliablity is most important. And no, I haven't bought my new one yet.
