(+) Looks good. Battery life around 4 hours. Keeps your legs warm on cold days! (-) Audio crackle. Gets too hot. Screen viewing angle restrictive. Slow to start.

Advantages: Reliable & Easy to Use Disadvantages: Short battery life
...What can i say? This laptop has been great. It is easy to use with a large 15 inch monitor which is clear even on bright sunny days. The only gripe that i have with this laptop is that the battery life is much too short and a 2nd battery costs about £100. The speed of the computer is pretty good, however, if i do upgrade it in any way, i will be getting another memory stick to take me up to 512mb SDRAM. I find that when browsing the internet and using the touch mouse. my pages tend to go back and forth however, this has happened on every laptop that i have used with a touch mouse. Perhaps it's just my heavy handedness!...

Advantages: Cheap but powerful Disadvantages: poor heat sink design
...This product is excellant value for money, considering it is so cheap. It is excellant if you use your computer mainly for office work and watching videos. If you want to play top end games then it isnt so good, as the graphics card isnt supported by nvidia anymore but can play games like Counter-Strike and Half-Life 2. Acer do offer driver support but only for the operating systems that comes on it (i.e. Windows XP and 64, NO VISTA SUPPORT). The 64bit part is abit of controversial as there may not be any real bonus to having it.
A common problem i found is after a few months the laptop may start to ramdomly power off. In my case this is due to poor heat sink design, and envolves pulling the panels off from either side of the laptop where the screen hinges are, unscrewing the hotkey panel. The heat sink should be visable, unscrewing...

I bought mine on ebay for £360, I needed it for university study and it's working really well for small documents like word and excel and it will also play some games well, mainly Unreal Tournament online :-)

Please bow your heads and stand a moment in silence to mark the passing of my old laptop, an Acer travelmate 230, which, after four years and one too many blows to the head, finally gave up the ghost and went to laptop heaven with some of my holiday... more
