Acer Aspire 3692WLMi

After a small windfall, me and my husband decided to treat ourselves, my hubby got his Sat Nav (see my review) and I got my long awaited laptop. I have got a desktop, but was sick of my front room loking like an office and listening to my kiddies games whilst trying to watch TV. So after a great deal of homework I decided to go for the New Aspire 3692WLMi. My main reason for choosing this laptop was a) the price, it cost me £399 from Comets, and (b) the memory. Aside from that I was also impressed with the design and layout on the whole. Well before I go into more detail I will get the ... more

Mrs Nobby and I have just moved home and decided to go wireless, ditching the old faithful Compaq desktop which has served me so well since I bought it on the same day the Twin Towers were attacked. I'm not the sort to change tech just because something newer is available - there has to be a reason for the change, so what I buy has to be something that will last a while before it becomes totally obsolete. I also don't like spending money for the sake of it, so always look for a lot for a little. Having spoken to IT friends and others in the know, I plumped for an Acer Aspire 3692WLMi Laptop ... more

Bought this unit from Comet on 10/11/06 who were putting this unit out on offer. Unlke online units this came with 1Gb DDR2 RAM and Windows XP Media Centre Edition in with the £400 price tag. Now there's some confusion here as to what processor is in the unit as everywhere advertises it as the Celeron Mobile 420 with clock speed of 1.6GHz, however my unit has the Celereon Mobile 430 1.73GHz clock, ignoring the specs sticker on the laptop. My company PC Poorly Ltd are resellers of Acer and we have always liked them, especially the style and design (or chassis) as they dont look or feel like ... more

I'm not a technical person, so if you want a technical review then this isn't the one for you. I previously had a Toshiba, which I was happy with, but I needed to upgrade the memory and processor, so I decided to buy a new one. I took advantage of the New Year Sale at Comet Online, and got this one. At 1Gb it has more than enough RAM, and I can't see I'll ever need to upgrade that. The HDD is 60 Gb, and even with some of the programmes you get these days, I can't see me ever using that either. I store a lot of photos on my laptop, and I've hardly made a dent in the memory. The screen is nice ... more

I wont bore you with specs and numbers, cos chances are, (if you're anything like me anyway) you still think a RAM is a sheep and GB means Great Britain. But basically, when buying any new computer, the bigger the numbers, the better. As a general comparison, the average iPod/MP3 player nowadays has 30GB of memory, and this has 80GB. May not sound much, but by gosh, it is. After my old desktop died on me, I bought this, and I've been able to shift my mountains of music, videos and programs onto this with no problems at all, and still have plenty of memory left. Only annoyance is, the hard ... more
